Our take

Southlake Early Care and Education is a full-day early-education center on Davis Boulevard — physically in Keller, just south of the Southlake line, and marketed squarely to Southlake-area families. It's one of six campuses of an independent, DFW-based company that opened its first school in 2009, which is worth knowing: it's owner-run and regional rather than a national franchise or a single in-home program.

The program runs from infants at six weeks through Pre-K on the Frog Street curriculum, with Conscious Discipline woven through, full-day and year-round. For older kids there's a before- and after-school program branded STEM Station, with a STEAM focus and center-provided transportation to and from area schools, plus a summer camp for ages 5–12 that runs full-day with meals and field trips.

Who it's for: working families in the Southlake/Keller area who want one place that can cover an infant or preschooler now and a school-age child before and after school, with transportation and a STEAM slant. Because it's a Keller address, it sits in Keller ISD rather than Carroll ISD — worth noting if district alignment matters to you. Tuition isn't posted, so ask.

Local Tips

A DFW-owned center on Davis Boulevard in Keller, close to the Southlake line. Practical notes:

  • It's one of six independently owned campuses (not a franchise), running the Frog Street curriculum with Conscious Discipline.
  • The before/after-school STEM Station includes transportation to and from area schools, and the summer camp (ages 5–12) requires a minimum five-week enrollment starting June 1.
  • Tuition isn't published online, and the site's linked tuition agreement wasn't reachable, so you'll need to ask for current rates.
  • One thing to confirm directly: the address is in Keller (Keller ISD), even though the center markets to Southlake families.
