This Guide features schools that:

Provides childcare for Kids to start Preschool from 6 weeks and generally through ages 2-5 years of age. Some also offer Private Kindergarten as an option.

Many (but not all) require children to be potty-trained upon admission to be ready for preschool.

All preschools listed are privately owned which means you do not have to live in the city where they are located for your child to attend.

We try and list as many Preschools as possible and some have been featured highly because they are Recommended by Moms in our Community of Plano Moms and many have requested to be sponsors of the guide.

We’ve gathered some input from Moms around town and made a list of some of the most recommended learning centers to send your kids to in Plano.

You may also be interested in Mother’s Day Out programs which provide more part-time hours for flexibility or drop-in daycares.

Hours

Many of the options are in session a few hours per day or full working days and many operate on school-year calendars – although some are year-round.

The School Year options do offer Summer Camp options for older siblings too – the whole school can offer options for different age groups. Year-round the entire school is usually open for the school community, especially when public schools are closed.

There are some gray areas; some schools may offer optional extended care options and some offer extended calendar years.

Fees

Fees vary according to the facilities, programs and extras that are offered. For instance, some Preschools have a Chef, in addition to Preschool teachers, offering hot meals every day and include Wipes, Snacks, Drinks and other daily extras.

If these options don’t work for your needs, you might also consider some Mother’s Day Out options
