Guide to Childcare, Preschools and Private Schools in the Dallas Metroplex

13

childcare-preschools-private-schools-dallas-moms-blogAs a new mom, making that decision to enroll your child into their first “away” program can be overwhelming, stressful, and just plain hard — especially in DFW!

If you’re new to the game, you may not be aware that you have a LOT of options depending on your needs, child’s age, and the goals you have for your child’s education. There’s private childcare, daycares, Mother’s Day Out, preschools, transitional Kindergartens. You can choose between tradition, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Co-ops, or even homeschool.

Then, once you’ve done your research and made your decision, the wait begins. That’s right — the wait! MANY daycares, preschools, and private programs begin registering for the following year a year in advance. Even as this is being published, schools are hosting open houses for the 2017 school year.  We’ve written several posts (see below!) that can help you navigate through the enrollment process, but the most important part is making that initial decision. Where should I send my child? 

This is where we want to help!

Dallas Moms Blog has a pulse in many communities across the Dallas Metroplex. We’ve compiled a list of featured programs and schools and personal recommendations to help you get started on your search! We can’t review them all, so we’ve included a small directory at the bottom of this post with local schools by area to help you continue your research a little further.

Have a question about a school?? Leave a note in the comments and allow other moms to help! We hope this post will be our communities ULTIMATE guide to childcare, Mother’s Day Out, and Schools.

Fusion Academy is a revolutionary private middle and high school where positive relationships unlock academic potential. We are a non-traditional community of learning with the smallest class size possible: one student and one teacher per classroom. This allows us to personalize and customize curriculum for each student’s unique strengths, interests, and learning style. We are also able to personalize scheduling; students may enroll at any time (even mid-semester) and take classes at a time of day that works best for them.

Our supportive staff and campus environment provide a safe space for students to flourish emotionally, socially, and academically. While it’s impossible to put our students into categories, we generally serve students with the following backgrounds: ADHD, accelerated/gifted learners, dyslexia, mild learning differences, social challenges, school anxiety, or students with challenging schedules. Students who attend Fusion have one thing in common: traditional school isn’t working
