There are numerous daycares along MacArthur between 635 and Beltline, as well as some around South Coppell area that is in the same general vicinity of Valley Ranch. I'm looking for good and bad experiences with these centers. Any information will be appreciated!

My son has been going to the Primrose School of Valley Ranch for about a year now (3-13 kk). Here's my review:

Pros:
- great curriculum
- great management (both Ms. Brenda and Ms. Shirley); I've never seen directors so excited about their jobs and all the children as these two - and I've toured several daycare centers in the area
- less expensive than other daycare centers in the area (I've toured both Kindercare and The Children's Courtyard in Valley Ranch)

Cons:
- the teachers in infant & toddler classrooms barely speak English, or any language at all (they are really quiet people!)
- no webcam
- tiny classrooms (this may not apply to preschool and up)
- no nursing room or even a chair available
- high turnover with teachers
- menu is full of processed, non-nutritious foods
- no online or auto-pay possibility (I hate writing checks!)

Although both my son and I just LOVE the director and the assistant director, I've decided to take him to The Children's Courtyard in Valley Ranch mainly because of better teachers (happy and nurturing, unlike the ones in Primrose), webcam, indoor play yard (the Texas weather - always either too hot or too wet!), bigger class rooms, and a better menu (more fresh foods). Our first day is this Friday and I can tell you more about it later, if you'd like.

Hi T.,

Discover and Share is a great daycare. And, I think they have the cameras so you can watch online. My stepson went there (and his name was Ryan).

Good luck finding somewhere! C.

Hi, T.!
I live in the Las Colinas area and have the same question, as I am looking for infant care for early next year. I had looked online and Discover and Share looked like a center I wanted to look at. It is good to see a couple of positive experiences. I think I will check it out!
