Looking for suggestions on a daycare in the Coppell area. We prefer a center vs an in-home situation.

Budget is $1500 (or less) for 2 boys. Ages 4 and 1. The 4 year old won't start Kindergarten until next year (2016).

Can't be on a waitlist as we'll probably need something within a month or so.


Where do you suggest?

You might want to check out Sunshine House. Their prices are pretty reasonable and would probably fit your budget. My sister just enrolled her infant and will pay about $220/week. She was happy with the facility.

I had my son enrolled in The Learning Experience last summer. I loved that place, but the location didn't work for me, so had to pull him out. My son was two at the time and I paid about $950 month. Not sure what 2 kids would be.

Don't even bother with Crem de la Crem. They charge over $400/week for infants. I'm not sure what they charge for one year olds, but I'm sure it's pricey.

Good luck with your search.

Try Primrose school of coppell. I think your budget just might cover it and it is a pretty good choice as far as centers go.

We live nearby...I'm not impressed with their facilities at all.

Riverchase Montessori just opened up...maybe their prices will be lower at first?

It might be helpful to explain WHY you aren't impressed with their facilities. Do you have a personal experience that turned you off?

Do you know parents who aren't happy with Sunshine House?

Were your children enrolled there?

Or...do you just "live nearby" and think it sucks?

I think Primrose is close to $270+ per week for toddlers.

I think you may be right, I neglected to consider that the budget is for 2. It might be worth a visit, my girls got a sibling discount at primrose in another city.

While we did not utilize daycare,I have a few friends who have.I would try to find an accredited Day Care Center. Many are not actually accredited.Check out the NAEYC site for more information on the importance of accreditation...

Accreditation | National Association for the Education of Young Children | NAEYC

My children do not go there and I freely admit I have never been inside...because the place looks like a wreck on the outside and the playground is pitiful. That tells me all I need to know.

Worth reviewing their incident reports:

None of the other places in Coppell have that many violations.
