I am looking for a reasonably priced mothers day out or preschool for my 4 year old son.
I am wanting to start him out this fall , somewhere in the Mesquite area he will be 4
on May 1st.
Really i am trying to teach him some seperation and learning to play with other children
his own age. Not something everyday but maybe a few days a week so he can get prepared for Kindergarten. I am wantng to find one that if it doesnt work out i wont be charged the entire years tuition only because i am not sure how he will do.
I know the perfect place for you to take your son!
Lake Ridge Academy off of Northwest Dr. & I-30 in Mesquite.
(It's at the Lake Ridge Bible Church)
They have great prices and the most wonderful caring, fun staff to work with your children. We started our daughter this year in the Pre-K 5 class and she loves it.
The classes are small which is another plus since it's not overcrowded....approx 10 kids per class.
You pay on a month to month basis so if you don't finish the full year, you don't have to pay any extra tuition.
The preschoolers go every Tuesday and Thursday.
I really feel you will love the school. We are not actual members of the Church but everyone there is so welcoming and just all around great people!
They have a website with prices and some additional info.

The schools phone # is 972-613-2222 ext 208
Your also welcome to go and check out the school and see the classes for yourself. They have a looking glass for parents and visitors to watch from if you'd like and that way you can get a feel of how everything works there.
It's definitely a great school to start out your son in.
Good luck to you!
I can tell you the best---KINGDOM KIDS PRESCHOOL---at Sunnyvale First Baptist Church! I put my 2 yr old. there last fall and let me tell you, I truly believe God led me to them, because they are the greatest! We just recently found out that my son has "social anxiety" after a really grueling first semester at the school. We were just about at our wits end about what to try with him. But I can tell you, the staff there really stood beside us, supported and worked with us and they bent over backwards to accomodate my son. They are the most loving people. I don't trust many people with my son and I can tell you I trust them without a doubt. They give him the same love, discipline and consideration that I would and that's hard to find. I can't say enough good about the teachers, staff and school. And Pastor Bob (the children's minister) is the best! Check it out. They are totally open and happy with any visitation at any time. I've helped inside the school and have really gotten to know them, so I can tell you they're exactly the same with the kids when you're gone as when you're there.
Here's the info. if you want to check it out--you can speak with Edwina (director) or Jennifer (asst. director)--they're both wonderful. Tell them Allison C. told you about them and tell them I said "hi" lol
I wish you the best of luck! I KNOW how hard this search is---I researched and visited 10 SCHOOLS before I chose Sunnyvale First Baptist, so I've done the homework and I know how intimidating it can be. You can email me anytime if you'd like to chat about it!
Here's the info:

The MDO program at South Garland Baptist Church is fantastic. It is such a loving environment. Two of my children, ages four and eighteen months, go there and absolutely love it. They are greeted with a hug as soon as they walk in the door. Ms. Thelma the pre-school teacher is a wonder. My daughter LOVES her. She is constantly talking about her teacher. It has been a great stepping stone on her way to kindergarten.
