CHILDCARE & PRESCHOOL · MANSFIELD, TEXAS

Mud pies.
Pool days.
Big memories.

Family-owned. Christian at heart. Almost four acres, five playgrounds, and a whole lot of childhood.

More than a place to spend the day.
Summer adventures. Family traditions. Learning with heart.

THIS IS THE SPOT DIFFERENCE

So much to do.
So much to love.

Muddy play clothes. Stories from a field trip. A celebration your whole family looks forward to. There is a lot to love about growing up here.

01 / OUTSIDE IS PART OF THE STORY

A pool. A mud pit.
Room to be a kid.

Almost four acres of outdoor play and five different playgrounds. Our own swimming pool. A mud pit made for hands-on discovery. Plenty of places to find their next “look what I did!”

02 / SUMMER GETS ITS OWN ADVENTURE

New week.
New adventure.

A new theme and a field trip every week of summer. New places to explore, new stories to bring home, and friends to share it all with.

See summer through their eyes

Photos show past school experiences. Ask about activities, supervision, field-trip destinations, and participation for your child’s age and season.

03 / BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY

The days that
become traditions.

Part of belonging here is having so much to celebrate together.

04 / KINDNESS THEY CAN PUT INTO PRACTICE

Little shoppers.
Big hearts.

A trip to ALDI.
A basket with a purpose.

Our Pre-K and Kinder-Prep children shop for food donations. Choosing what goes in the basket becomes a real way to care for someone else.

Family-owned. Christian at heart. We make room for learning, adventure, and giving back.

CURRICULUM FROM THE VERY BEGINNING

Little moments.
Lifelong beginnings.

Learning starts at birth. From our infant classrooms through Pre-K and Kinder-Prep, purposeful teaching grows alongside your child’s curiosity.

A foundation from infancy

Frog Street Press and thematic learning bring language, music, movement, and discovery into their earliest classrooms.

Hands-on S.T.E.A.M.

Science, technology, engineering, art, and math turn “I wonder” into experiences children can explore.

Ready for the next chapter

D.I.G. supports kindergarten readiness in Pre-K and Kinder-Prep. We are a four-star Texas Rising Star school and a Texas School Ready site.

FAMILY OWNED. CHRISTIAN AT HEART.

Your child has
a story.
We’d love to hear it.

The things they love. The moments they find hard. What you’re hoping for in a school. Bring all of it when you come to meet us.

matters to you.

Feeling at home

Tell us about your child’s first days away from home. Ask how drop-off, settling in, and comfort are handled in their classroom.

Staying connected

Ask how teachers share your child’s day, how you can reach the team, and what communication looks like for your family.

Finding their fit

Talk through classroom placement, daily routines, and which outdoor experiences are offered for your child’s age. Ask about current tuition and availability, too.
