Canisha Jackson

Assistant Director
Canisha Jackson started in early childhood education back in 2001. Initially, it started out as just a job! But very soon after starting, teaching became her passion. She has taught all age groups from infants up to pre-k, as well as held many positions in the schools, such as being the cook and bus driver. Being in this field has become a great passion of hers. She graduated from Cypress Ridge high school in 2018 and is currently attending Ashworth University online to obtain her bachelor’s in education.

She has a small family that includes her spouse and her three children, Rileigh, Josiah, and Zoey, and her dog, Cashew.

Canisha enjoys learning new things, listening to music (all genres), and READING! Her favorite childhood book is Falling Up. She loves how each poem takes you on a different journey and allows you to get lost with your imagination. We love having Canisha at The Nest Schools!

Jason Bone

Regional Director
Jason has been in early childhood education since 2013 and has a bachelor’s in Business Administration. Jason started his career in childcare as the owner/operator of our Towne Lake location and joined The Nest School Team in 2021 when we acquired our three Houston locations – Towne Lake, Fallbrook, and Cinco Ranch. Jason wants to make a positive difference in the next generation. He believes that building relationships based on trust with parents, children, and staff is paramount in successfully achieving this goal.

Jason is married to his wife Amanda, and has two beautiful daughters who keep them on their toes and require their best every day! Jason’s family loves being outdoors in their free time and enjoys attending Astros games together. His favorite childhood book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar because of the colors and illustrations in the book. He was also fascinated with science at an early age. We greatly enjoy having Jason on our team!

Our Houston Educational Programs

Hummingbirds

Ducklings

We recognize that your young toddler has the capacity to learn so much in the first few years of their life by simply having opportunities to explore and play amongst peers. Our teachers encourage learning through daily routines and experiences involving health and physical development, social-emotional development, language and literacy development, and so much more.

Learn more.

Cardinals

Our Cardinal program supports older toddlers and their increased independence, exploration of emotions and feelings, and fast-developing use of language. We also understand and support their continued desire to explore everything about their world. We believe our play-based philosophy and learning center structure gives them the best opportunity to do this.

Penguins

The early preschool years are nothing short of amazing! Children at this age have an overwhelming eagerness to learn and you will notice that their ability to experiment, explore, and focus on set activities begins to change rapidly. Our Penguin program supports young preschoolers and their need to be challenged, engaged, and encouraged in their learning and personal interests.

Robins

The older preschool years consist of so much learning and development! Their peer relationships are strengthening, they have a more complex understanding and use of language, and their overall motor skills have developed rapidly. Our Robins program continues to provide for preschoolers and their need to be challenged, engaged, and supported in their learning and personal interests.

Full-time, Private

GREAT things come from great BEGINNINGS! Our private kindergarten programs will help your child excel in a small classroom environment giving them a successful start to their elementary years. Our comprehensive curriculum will use a mix of requirements from the Department of Education alongside our Nest Play curriculum to prepare children for first grade and beyond.

Private kindergarten is not available at our Cinco Ranch location.

Pelicans / Before & After School

Our School Age program provides children with opportunities for exploration, creativity, and fun challenges to support them in becoming their best selves. Our program consists of a mix of guided activities planned by the children and teacher-guided activities.

Summer Fun for Your Child

Summer is one of the things children look forward to the most. School’s out, and children are ready to get back to their much-awaited playtime. But instead of letting your child become glued to TV screens, computers, or mobile devices watching cartoons or playing video games, this may be the perfect time to encourage them to engage in activities that offer the right balance between learning and fun. This is where summer camps come in!

What Our Families Are Saying

“We are so grateful for The Nest Schools! We have had amazing teachers so far, and our son loves every minute of school! What I love is that even the teachers that our son hasn’t had yet all know him by name, and treat him like he is one of their own students. We would (and do) recommend The Nest to anyone that asks.”

Amanda Lacks

“The things we like best about our child care experience at The Nest Schools are that we’re always greeted each morning with the staff’s friendly smiles and positive attitudes. Both of our children feel welcomed and have developed wonderful relationships. We are also impressed by the level of safety and the daily curriculum.”

Stephanie & Ryan Briggs

“To us, The Nest Schools has meant more than just childcare; they have been our partner in the development and success of our kids! ”
