“Even without a child enrolled, Primrose's atmosphere is undeniably powerful. It immediately communicates a world that's safe, inspiring, and exceptionally caring.”

“I wish I could give this 100 stars! The staff is amazing -- they are always thinking of the students and the parents. My daughter loves going to school and we love her teachers as much as she does! The curriculum is on point and I know she has a blast with all her activities-- best day care!”

“We have loved our time at Adventureland. I have a 2 and 4yo that currently attend. The teachers have been so kind and supportive to my babies. My oldest has learned SO much with Ms. Rose as her teacher as well as my son who has been with Ms. Faith and Ms. Angie. It's conveniently located, they do their best to keep the facilities clean, and I've loved their approach to discipline and teaching my kids. Can't recommend enough!”

“My 2 year old daughter goes to this school and they are very great hospitality staff with smiles on their faces always. Teachers are great listeners to parents words and we love to send her to this school. I am always impressed with the clean environment and eye catchy decorations all the places. Thanks to each and every member of the school for such great team work always.”

“My son started at the The Learning Experience last May and since then the center has taken in my son as one of their own. Every teacher has gotten to know my son and built a relationship with him. The director, Kristi, has been my saving grace when I had to transition back to work. She truly took the time to help me feel comfortable and ease my anxiety of leaving my baby to return back to work. His teachers have helped him hit his milestone and grow his development. Watching my son smile as soon as we walk through the doors have truly been a blessing. Coming from a momma that had bad postpartum anxiety Kristi and her team of wonderful teachers have truly been a blessing to my family. I will always recommend The Learning Experience to any of my new parent friends.”

“My son been going there for around 8 months and I have nothing but positive things to say about the school. The staff is fun, friendly and energetic and are always helpful. I would definitely recommend the school.”

“I spent a year and half researching and visiting schools from Flower Mound to Dallas to find the best preschool for our son to attend.

Without question DKH was the best school. That’s saying a lot as there are many excellent schools in our area.

What stood out the most to us:

1. The class sizes- smaller than other schools. There are a maximum of 12 kids (although we only had 10-11) and 2 teachers. We had our main teacher Mrs. Howell as well as the Spanish Immersion teacher Mrs. Trudeau assisting bringing the ratio down to 6:1.

2. The leadership- this is a female owned and led school. The level of organization and care they put into the curriculum, safety and social development of the kids is unparalleled. Nancy, Becky and Mrs. Howell are unwavering in their dedication towards doing what’s best for the kids. DKH has been around since 1979- 45 years of serving this community has given them an edge in understanding our community and the greater school district to which most of our kids will be entering.

3. Play based learning- Our priority was to expose our son to building a foundation for a love of learning and relationships with others. The play-based learning is inclusive, transcending language and other barriers that might affect learning outcomes making DKH an ideal place for all children.

I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with DKH. Every time I walk through the doors I feel so thankful that we found this amazing school and that this where our son gets to begin his learning journey.

There is a Spanish program, an early reading program and extended day program. I’m particularly excited that my 4 year old will be in the reading program next year.

The community we’ve built at DKH extends beyond the classroom. We have regular play dates and get togethers with the families we’ve made friends with. They say it takes a village and we’re so proud this is ours.”

“I wanted to reach out and express my sincere appreciation for the Castle Creek Christian Academy community. Having been a part of it for over seven years, I've consistently been impressed by the dedication and care of the management team and the entire staff.

As a parent of a child who attends the academy, I am particularly grateful for the faith-based learning experience that the program provides. It's truly wonderful to see my child thrive in such a nurturing and supportive environment.”

“I enrolled my child at Children's Lighthouse about a month ago and have been so pleasantly surprised by the care and patience they have for him. The classroom teachers (Ms Mariah and Ms Bri) are responsive and kind. There are very regularly daily updates on the app and significant diversity in daily activities for the children. There's even a splash pad on premises! The administration, especially Heather who gave us our initial tour, is friendly, professional and confidence-inspiring which I cherish because it comes across as so respectful of our family and our time. It's been a blessing so far to have our child here.

Any parents considering the school reading this who want to connect please let me know! I know the process to find a school for your little one can be fraught!”

“We love it here. The summer program is wonderful. Our kid is loving it. The staff is great - keeping us informed throughout the day on field trip days on their status. Gives parents peace of mind!!”

“My son has gone to this wonderful school since he was 6 months old, and is now approaching Kindergarten. I come from a family of educators and my wife and I have been thrilled with the teachers, administration, and the family feel of this school over the years. We will be bummed when our son has to move on after Kindergarten. We found Primrose Wellington at the recommendation of a neighbor, and highly recommend it as a safe and fruitful place for any family.”

“From the admin staff, owner, teachers, chef and everyone in between, the caliber is top-notch. They know your name, kids names, sometimes even your sign-in number by heart. They know what’s going on with your family, genuinely care about your lives and they love these children like their own. They thoughtfully plan fun activities, special guests and events to celebrate parents and holidays to make memorable moments. They track everything, send beautiful photos of our kids, notate everything so you get an hour to hour update on your child. I will never recommend anywhere else for someone looking to find a safe, soft, welcoming and joyful place for their most beloved tiny human in their lives. Thank you!”

My son attends here and we saw positive changes every week. After a few weeks, he is excited to go “school” and see Ms Cathy & friends.”

“Our two sons (age 3 and 1) enrolled at Children’s Lighthouse in April and their experience has been overwhelming positive. My husband and I have overall been so pleased with the care they receive. Both of my boys enjoy going to school and I feel confident that they are in good hands. Love the teachers, the support staff, the facilities, the summer splash pad, the live video feed, the curriculum, the special programs/events that are held for families, and options for parents night out, etc. But most importantly, I can sincerely tell that the teachers love our kids and enjoy their jobs. We are so glad to be a part of the Children’s Lighthouse family!”

“My 3-year-old has been attending Countryside Montessori for a year, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The teachers here are exceptional, showing genuine care and attention towards each child, almost as if they were their own.The daily schedule is well-structured, encompassing a variety of activities including circle time, creative tasks, a lunch break, nap time, and outdoor play, weather permitting. The school's outdoor area, though compact, provides a wonderful space for children to engage in play. What stands out is the school's commitment to enhancing social and speech skills through various programs.Additionally, the annual parent-teacher meetings are a great platform for receiving insightful feedback about our child's progress. Overall, Countryside Montessori is undoubtedly a top choice in the Denton area for anyone seeking a nurturing and educational environment for their child.”

“When we relocated to the area it was hard to find a preschool setting that fit our daughters needs . When I called and spoke to Melissa from my first interaction I was met with the utmost kindness. Melissa explained the program in the classroom and all that the center offered. Suzy the director was phenomenal in her tenure. Brenda the Executive Director is top notch she is kind and empathetic. The communication is fantastic and anytime something needs to be communicated it is done timely and with professionalism.
I had a situation that needed attention and everyone was professional and managed the situation with grace. I was upset in the moment and Melissa and Suzy worked with me and handled the situation with their expertise. I left after with knowing that if there was ever a incident it would be handled properly and with my daughters safety and wellbeing as their priority.
Miss Teressa the classroom teacher was warm and welcoming to my daughter helping her ease into the transition of moving to a new state and school.
Katrina has been an amazing her warmth and caring demeanor is just at a level I can not say enough about. Always a warm welcome when I walk in the building and gives me assurance my daughter is cared for at the highest level.
My daughter just adores Ms. Mirza and I see the level of care I have when I see her interacting with the kids.
The classroom setting is very organized and the curriculum taught has helped her grow and develop to prepare her for the upcoming transition to Kindergarten.
The school had a Pre-K graduation that was so special. They put together such a special and personalized program providing the kids with a wonderful send off into their education.
I can not say enough wonderful things about Kids Corral. I would recommend this center with no hesitation.”

“My daughter has truly blossomed at Children’s Lighthouse! The staff is so warm and caring—they’ve made her feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Every day she comes home with new stories, songs, and skills, and I’ve seen such beautiful growth in her confidence and social skills.

It’s more than just a daycare—it’s a nurturing place where kids thrive. I’m so grateful Maeva is part of this wonderful community!”

“The curriculum is amazing! My son is learning things I would never have thought to teach him had I kept him home during his preschool years. He's developing social skills that can only be learned around peers & he's even demonstrated leadership skills that have been cultivated by the amazing teachers & staff.”

So great to know that we can bring him here to have fun while us parents enjoy a couple of hours. Thank you!”

We’re so grateful for the love and care he received—highly recommend this daycare to any parent!”

I can go on about how amazing she is and how very clean this place is. I’m so thankful to have found this place definitely recommend this place”

What really stands out is the educational focus — our child is learning so much and shares new things every day. It's comforting to know they're in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment.”

“We love sending our kids to Goddard. They truly feel like family. The communication is excellent. I know they have our kids' best interest at heart. The school feels safe. I am constantly surprised by what my kids are learning there - my 22 month old came home singing the ABCs one day and my 4 year old is asking to learn more about the phases of the moon. Just incredible stuff, and every day is something new. I love peeking in on them at pick up and seeing them laughing and having fun.”

“We have been taking our daughter to Sunshine House since June of this year and we looovee this place!

“Infant teachers are so welcoming and naturing, my daughter has been here since infant and is now about to be in the pre k class starting this may I'm glad I choose this daycare for my daughter, Center Director is also very attentive and understanding anytime I have any concerns”

“Our experience at Primrose School of Old Orchard has been nothing short of wonderful. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed and supported. During our initial tour, Ms. Esther took the time to thoughtfully walk us through the school and explain everything that makes Primrose so special. Her warmth and attention to detail left a lasting impression on us.

Throughout our time there, we’ve consistently seen how involved and committed Mr. Sheldon and Dr. Shelley are to the children’s development. Their presence and active engagement in the day-to-day life of the school truly reflect their passion and dedication to creating a nurturing environment.

The teachers have also been incredibly kind and attentive, which was especially clear in how quickly Yaz grew comfortable and formed connections with everyone. Seeing our child feel so happy and secure reaffirmed that we made the right choice.

If it weren’t for our upcoming move, we would have loved to continue being a part of the Primrose School of Old Orchard community for as long as possible. We’re truly grateful for the care and kindness we've experienced here.”

“It is about DAMN TIME that Denton have pizza like this. Traditional, fired at a bazillion degrees, delicious pizza. No hate to the other classics like Jonuzis or the Tomato to be clear but this is my absolute favorite way for pizza to be prepared. The crust is chewy and toothsome, the cheese is subtle and fresh, you can taste the tomatoes and basil without anything being overwhelming. This style of pizza is not the salty and greasy mess that most Americans have come to expect no no! It's light and delightful. This will immediately be added into the very limited rotation we have of places we actually eat. The rule in our house is: if we can cook it better, we usually won't bother eating there. And this is exceptional. Absolutely bravo. Additionally (and just as important) the staff are friendly, orders are punctual, the building is clean, and it's just a beautiful space. 10/10.”

“Our family loves kid r kids. The staff is great and takes so good care of my son ! We r stress-free all day coz my son is in good hands. Very clean place and lots of teachers so that the kids r taken care and paid attention to.”
