Does anyone know anything about the place called "Tumble Bugs" It is located @ Eldorado & Hardin next to Tom Thumb in McKinney. I am interested in what they offer as far as the preschool goes and wanted to know if any other mom's had tried it out. Thanks.
Funny you mention it, we are going tomorrow to check it out. I emailed them before Christmas to get more information. I liked that its a fun, stress-free environment that has classes for both of my kiddos. They said we could come in anytime to check out a class. They do have a website: www.tumblebugs.com
I have been thinking of taking my daughter there too. I haven't checked into their programs lately. It has expanded quite a bit since she moved the business from Eldorado Parkway & 75, several years ago. The owner used to live next door to me and she is great.
Both my boys went to the 2 day preschool (4 year old) class there, and loved it. Ms. Mary is a stickler about writing and really gets the kids ready for Kindergarten. The nice thing is they don't take a nap (which my kids didn't take after 3), and they get a gymnastics class for an activity. I thought it was well worth it, and my kids did an easy adjustment to Kindergarten.
I don't know much about the younger program, but I still take my daughter there for Gymnastics. It's family owned, and the the owner is super nice.
Good luck.

Hi N., it's D., your Pet Sitter :) The girls did a summer at Tumble Bugs when they were 2 and loved it! It was part classroom time, part gym time, etc. My only problem was that every time I went to get them a movie was on and I wasn't sure how much was 'tv time', but they assured me it wasn't much. The girls had Debbie as their teacher and she was great :)
Both of my boys went there for about 4 months for one half day a week shortly after they started walking. It was a nice transition to 9a-2p preschool (which they didn't offer when my guys were littler) and helped them trust other caregivers and play with other kids. We liked it a lot.
