Schools in Highland Village, TX

“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.”

“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 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.”

“Maddie and her team were incredible last night. My son, Elias told Dad and I that he had fun with friends and was happy!
So great to know that we can bring him here to have fun while us parents enjoy a couple of hours. Thank you!”

“We’ve had a great experience with both my daughters age 4 and 7 in both their gymnastics and cheerleading classes. All of the coaches we’ve interacted with have been awesome.”
