VOGEL MAIN
Vogel Main is the heart of Vogel’s work in Dallas, providing comprehensive, trauma-informed services for young children and their families impacted by poverty, housing instability, and homelessness.
Serving as Vogel’s largest and most comprehensive campus, Vogel Main brings together early childhood education, health services, mental and behavioral health care, and family support in one integrated setting — allowing families to receive coordinated care under one roof.
Vogel Main offers therapeutic early childhood programming for children from infancy through pre-kindergarten, grounded in research-based curriculum and best practices for trauma-informed care. Children learn in safe, nurturing classrooms that support academic readiness, social-emotional development, and healthy brain growth.
Our highly qualified educators create structured, engaging environments where children can rebuild trust, develop confidence, and prepare for long-term success in school.
Health & Developmental Services
Vogel Main supports the physical and developmental well-being of every child through on-site health services, including:
- Routine health screenings
- Access to medical care
- Daily nutritious meals and snacks
- Rest and wellness support
Mental & Behavioral Health Support
Mental and behavioral health services are a core component of Vogel Main. Children and parents have access to:
- Individual and group therapy
- Play therapy
- Developmental and behavioral consultations
- Trauma-informed interventions that support emotional regulation and resilience
These services help children process trauma, strengthen coping skills, and build a healthy foundation for lifelong emotional well-being.
At Vogel Main, we recognize that a child’s success is deeply connected to family stability. Our two-generation approach includes robust family support services designed to help parents move from crisis toward self-sufficiency.
Families receive:
- 1:1 case management
- Housing support and resource navigation
- Employment and education assistance
- Parenting education and coaching
- Access to essential resources such as diapers, clothing, and household items
By supporting parents alongside their children, Vogel Main helps families build stability, confidence, and long-term independence.
A Community of Care
Vogel Main is more than a service location — it is a community built on trust, consistency, and partnership. Through coordinated programs and a culture of excellence, families receive the support they need to heal, grow, and move forward together.
VOGEL REDBIRD
Vogel RedBird provides trauma-informed early childhood programming for children from infancy through pre-kindergarten, with a strong focus on academic growth, social-emotional development, and family stability.
Our curriculum is grounded in Frog Street and Conscious Discipline, aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework. Through developmentally appropriate instruction, children build foundational skills while learning in a safe, nurturing environment.
Age-Specific Learning Environments
- Infants (6 weeks–18 months):
A calm, nurturing space that supports early developmental milestones, with dedicated caregivers providing individualized attention and care. - Toddlers (18 months–2 years):
Active, play-based learning that encourages curiosity, motor skill development, and early cognitive growth. - Three-Year-Olds:
Hands-on learning with a focus on literacy, language development, and social skills, helping children build confidence and classroom readiness. - Pre-Kindergarten (4–5 years):
Structured learning in literacy, math, and social-emotional development that prepares children for kindergarten while honoring individual learning styles and needs.
Whole-Child, Whole-Family Support
Beyond the classroom, Vogel RedBird offers enriching activities that promote creativity and physical well-being. Teachers support individualized learning, allowing each child to explore, engage, and grow at their own pace.
Family engagement is a core part of our approach. We host monthly family activities and provide access to on-site play therapy, developmental services, family support services, and parenting classes. By supporting parents alongside children, we help strengthen the entire family system.
Small Class Sizes & Safety
We intentionally maintain small class sizes to foster engagement, individualized instruction, and personal growth. Safety is a top priority. Families stay connected through the Procare app, and our facility features restricted-access entryways and security cameras to ensure a secure learning environment.
Vogel RedBird is designed to be a welcoming, supportive space where children and families can build strong foundations for lifelong success.
