We may be moving to Richardson and I am looking for any recommendations for childcare in Richardson. I have a 4 year old in preschool now in plano, but will be too far to drive if we move. I am expecting in december and will be looking for infant care as well. I appreciate any input. Thanks.
We had a great expeience with The Primose School of Breckinridge Park at Renner & North Star.
I work in Richardson, so I checked out a few daycares in the area when I was pregnant. I liked Primrose School at Breckinridge Park. It was very clean, but a little pricey. They do have a waiting list, so if you like the center, get on the list as soon as possible. The owner owns 6 daycares and I enrolled my daughter in one closer to home. I was going to transfer her down to this one, but when the opening came up, I realized that being closer to home was more advantageous for me.
I also checked out Children's Choice (it's a new daycare in the Shire at Jupiter and 190). They run the daycare at Medical City Dallas hospital. It's also a bit pricey, although a little cheaper than Primrose.
If cost is an issue, then look into the KinderCare at Campbell and Jupiter. The facility is a little older, but the teachers were great and it was the ONLY facility I visited where NONE of the kids in her potential classroom were crying. All the kids were very happy (approx 3 months to 12 months in age).
I also looked into the KinderCare at Plano Parkway and Alma. The rooms were bigger than at Campbell and Jupiter, but I didn't like the fact that they didn't have a fence around the facility and all the kids had to walk through the parking lot to get back inside from play. I felt the facility was too close to the road for that.
Congratulations on your baby girl!
Spring Creek Private School. It's afordable and I was very pleased with them. My youngest went there until she started kindergarten.

First United Methodist Church Richardson is great and very reasonable.
Hi A..
I work in Richardson and many of my co-workers take their kids to the Peanut Gallery on Greenville Ave. I recently went in to get a tour myself for my 17 month old and really liked what I saw. It felt like a creative environment with caring staff. I wish I had more to tell you, but at least this will give you one more option to consider. Best of luck to you with your move and childcare.
