I have looked at a few preschools in North Fort Worth and Keller. Does anyone know anybody that has been to or know anything about Cornerstone Baptist Church/ Heritage Church of Christ/ or Light of the World Preschools? Also, are there any others that I have missed and should check out. I would like something with basic structure - not just free play, and also where they will work on reading and numbers. My daughter will be 5 in December and she already knows her letters/ sounds and numbers - I want her to be pushed a little bit, but get to have fun as well. I am getting a late start on this - and want to check out recommendations since I cannot visit the schools during the school year. Thanks in advance!
My kids go to Harvest Child Development Center at the Harvest Church in Watauga. We love it. Been there for 6 years now. I have a 10 yr old and 6 yr old, both have gone thru pre-k there. I know they usually have a waiting list so check it out as soon as you can.
Is Arlington too far? If not, you might look at The Flint Academy. It's a small Pre-K through 12th grade Christian school. http://www.flintacademy.com/
I am putting my daughter (age 2) into MDO this August, I visited quite a few early spring. Depends on your price range, Premiere Academy has a great program, pricey though. My final two choices came down to Harvest Baptist (watauga) and Northwood (keller), both have really good programs I was very impressed with both. I am big on structure and was one of the things I was looking for, I was not looking for an enviroment were they run wild, I did not find that in any of these. But they do have fun as well. Harvest has a year around program, were as Northwood goes along with the KISD school calender, off during the summers. I ended up choosing Northwood, I had a lot of great referals, my cousin also happens to be one of the three year old teacher too! I did tour all of these facilities to check out the enviroment for myself, taking my daughter with me to see how she would take to them. I was impressed with all of them!! Good Luck in your search!
I've heard wonderful things about Fellowship Of The Parks Treehouse Preschool. My kids don't attend (they go to full-time daycare) but we go to the church and know several of the teachers - and they're all great ladies!
The program is Tuesday/Thursday, not sure of the hours. They do have a curriculum, it's definately not just play.
The director is Shannon McMahon.
