Hi T.,
I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 10 month old that attend Campfire USA's Child Development Center near the corner of 820 and 35. I live in Keller and work downtown and it is a GREAT location.
I shopped around and interviewed about 20 daycare facilities near our house and picked Campfire. They are nationally accredited for age appropriate academics, have viewing rooms for the parents, the building is safe, clean, and well maintained (actually just replaced all carpet, painted and have new Pier 1 Kids furniture). Their doors are secured with electronic keypads, and can be opened only with a passcode, the teachers are never (or very rarely) alone with the children and I can honestly say that I would trust any one of them to personally care for my children unattended any time... we LOVE them! All of the teaches are fantastic and some even go to classes on their own time to learn things for the kiddos i.e. Spanish and sign language.
Their lesson plans are FULL of great artistic, educational and fun activities, if you are interested in knowing what they do, you can visit my "Room Mom" website at www.roommama.com and look at the Room 3 stuff (where your 2 1/2 year old would be). Please just let Hugh, the center director, know that I sent you. Hugh is a great guy who genuinely cares for the children with a passion!
