I am looking for a 2 days a week preschool for my 19 months old daughter ,anybody has a review for this place or any great school in the north dallas area?
We looked at Bent Tree and thought it was good, but then we found A Child's Garden on Whitlock and Old Denton and fell in love. It is a Montessori school and I highly recommend them. The director’s name is Donna Hatter, their phone number is ###-###-#### and their web address is http://www.acgmontessori.org/. They serve 18 months through Kindergarden. Feel free to contact me for more information. If you go by, tell them A. Blakeney sent you.
I have friends who raved about the place, but I honestly was not impressed when I visited. It didn't feel like a place I felt comfortable leaving my child. My recommendation is that you come up with list of places and go tour the facilities and ask all the questions you have. That may be the perfect place for you. However, if you are seeking two days a week only, you might consider going into a mothers-day-out program instead of a day care or preschool. My son loved Prestonwood's MDO program. It is very securing and loving environment and I had peace of mind with him there. When I needed him to go more than two days, we moved to a Montessori school and that was a great learning environment--there are a lot of really good ones-I don't know where you are, but I'm sure you can find something close to you. We had a bad experience at Creme' de la Creme'. My son, who is normally very happy, was a basket case when I picked him up each time so after a couple of weeks I couldn't take it and pulled him out. I wont go into all the details, but it seemed like he was just a source of income and the employees were just there for the paycheck--not much love or caring there. I've heard other stories about the place since then that would prevent me from sending my kids there--ever. Good luck!
Parker Chase at Hebron and Marsh is the best!!!!! Very family oriented and develops children individually---we have been there for years.
Our daughter has been going to Bent Tree since 2006. We love the learn through play method they use. We have been very happy overall. She is starting Pre-K this year. The teachers are wonderful. Feel free to ask me any specific questions.
