 We are excited to partner with you in the development of your children. It is a responsibility that we take very seriously. It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of these young ones’ preschool years.

 Our location has been in operation since 1979. We are conveniently located at the Galleria Mall, very close to the Dallas North Tollway and LBJ 635. Our center consists of eleven classrooms, three outdoor playgrounds, and one indoor play area.  We have three nurseries, three toddler rooms, two two year old classrooms, and three preschool classes. In our infant rooms we teach our babies sign language and that is continued through preschool. Starting in the toddler classes we teach numbers, colors, and shapes in English and Spanish. We also launch our Literature Curriculum and introduce the preschool curriculum called Zoo Phonics®.

  Zoo Phonics® is a phonetic learning of the alphabet. This curriculum is an extraordinary way for young children to learn how to read. You’ll be amazed at your children beginning to read before they start kindergarten.  In our preschool classes we use all of Zoo Phonics® components that we introduced in the two year old classes. We also use Math Their Way, which is an integrated math and science curriculum. We also teach D’Nealian handwriting, which is almost an italicized print and is much more comprehendible for the preschoolers. We use Fun with Fitness,  a good blend of physical activities and lessons on nutrition. Finally, we have music classes and Spanish classes once a week for our toddler, twos, and preschool classes. All curriculum is done in both the morning and the afternoon.

 To ensure that your children are ready for kindergarten, we have Kindergarten Club, a special club for our graduating five year olds. Kindergarten Club is an essential tool to ensure that the children are ready to succeed in grade school. We do kindergarten assessments testing and developmental progress reports.

 To improve our curriculum and to give you more quality time with your children, we offer extracurricular activities in our center. Tumble Gym comes to our school and all of the children have gymnastic lessons. A Martial Arts teacher also comes and does forty-five minute sessions. We also have a dance teacher teach dance lessons. A computer teacher comes and instructs the children how to use the computer. Finally, since we are conveniently located at the Dallas Galleria, ice-skating lessons are also available. All of these extracurricular activities are on a weekly basis.

 Our staff collectively has more then one hundred and fifty years in early childhood development experience.  We take our role in your children’s life to heart and we do strive to do our best.
