I'm having a difficult time finding a preschool that can accommodate a full-time working parent schedule. I'm looking for something in the BA, Jenks, Bixby area. Any ideas would be appreciated! Most of the preschools are part-time and don't offer any assistance or resources for the other part of the day.
My son goes to Hope Learning Center at 81st and Highway 169. He has been there since birth and we have been pleased. My daughter went throught the pre-k program and it was great. she learned so much that year.
Two of my children also went to Hope Learning Center for several years and we were always impressed with them. We are very picky about daycares and who watches our children. We even tried Council Oaks for a few months, only because Hope does not transport to the four year old program at other schools. Needless to say, I was NOT impressed by Council Oaks and thought they were very impersonable. Remember you can check out daycare violations and reports at OKDHS.ORG Always go with your gut!

Hello. I believe that Riverfield Country Day School accommodates working full-time parents. I will say I'm a bit biased because I have my daughter in pre-school there; they have an excellent pre-school program (& they have a before school & after school program too). However, I don't think any other school in town/possibly the state compares (my personal opinion). Check them out on the web at www.riverfield.org to learn more about their philosophy and you should definitely go visit (phone number is ###-###-####). They have a hands-on and positive approach to learning. It is a private school (infants through 12th grade) located in West Tulsa (off of Hwy 75 & 61st St), but it's worth the drive to me for a great education/learning experience. It's worth considering. They do follow a standard school year calendar, so the kids are out for Christmas break, but for Spring Break the extended day kids are allowed to attend. School starts Aug 18, and they may already have full enrollment, not sure, so I'd call soon. I highly recommend Riverfield. But, the most important thing is finding the best fit for you and your child. Best of luck to you in your quest for the right pre-school.
Cordially,

Have you tried Small World Learning Center? It is off of main in BA or Council Oaks? Council oaks offers lots of "add on " Classes like swimming, karate etc. It has been some time since I have know anyone there but in the past it has been great. They have a pool and have offered lessons in the past. good luck
