Touring centers near River Oaks, Westworth Village, Lake Worth, or Northside Fort Worth? Here's what to ask, what Texas quality labels mean, and an honest look at the local options — including ours.
Before you fall in love with a playground, check the fundamentals. These apply to any center you tour — including ours.
Every Texas child care center must be licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Ask when the center was last inspected and how to see the report.
Ask about teacher-to-child ratios in your child's age group and how long the teachers have been there. Low turnover is one of the best signs of a healthy center.
Ask what curriculum the center uses and how it prepares children for kindergarten. (We use Frog Street, a research-based early childhood curriculum, at every age.)
You'll see these names on Texas center websites — here's what they actually tell you.
A voluntary quality-rating program above minimum licensing standards. Participating centers meet higher requirements for staff training, curriculum, and family engagement.
A state program focused on kindergarten readiness — professional development and classroom tools that help preschoolers arrive ready to learn.
Child Care Management Services provides subsidized child care for qualifying working families. Ask any center whether they accept CCMS — we do.
Bring this list. A good center welcomes every one of these questions.
