Our take

Southlake-Grapevine KinderCare is a national-chain center on East Southlake Boulevard, on the Southlake-Grapevine border just off Highway 114. Being a KinderCare, it runs to a corporate model rather than an owner-operator's, but two things set this particular center apart: it's accredited by NAEYC, a third-party standard only a minority of child-care programs meet, and it busses school-age children to and from four named local elementary schools.

The program covers infants at six weeks through a prekindergarten year, full-day (6:30 AM to 6:30 PM), with small-group "Learning Adventures" enrichment — cooking, music, phonics, and STEM. For older kids, School Break Programs run during winter, spring, and summer breaks for ages 5 to 12. Meals are developed by a registered dietician, with a vegetarian option.

Who it's for: families who want a full-day, accredited center with a clear path from infancy through pre-K, and — especially — Carroll ISD families who need before- and after-school coverage with a ride, since the center busses to Southlake, Carroll, and Old Union Elementary. Tuition isn't posted, so you'll call for rates; the center also notes it accepts Texas Workforce Commission child-care scholarships and military fee assistance.

Local Tips

A KinderCare on the Southlake-Grapevine border off Highway 114 (which explains the name). A few things worth knowing:

  • It busses school-age kids to and from Southlake Elementary, Carroll Elementary, Old Union Elementary, and Westlake Academy — a real convenience if you need before/after-school coverage tied to those campuses (note Westlake Academy is a charter, not a Carroll ISD school).
  • It's NAEYC-accredited, which not every daycare is.
  • Enrichment on the center page includes Cooking Academy, Music Explorers, Phonics Adventures, and STEM Innovators.
  • Rates aren't posted, so you'll call for a quote. The center highlights that it accepts Texas Workforce Commission scholarships and military fee assistance.
Carroll ISD Connection

This center has a more concrete tie than most preschools: it provides bus transportation to and from four named local schools — Southlake Elementary, Carroll Elementary, and Old Union Elementary (all Carroll ISD), plus Westlake Academy (a Westlake charter, not Carroll ISD). Combined with its address on East Southlake Boulevard inside the Carroll ISD footprint, that makes it a practical option for a Carroll ISD family needing wraparound care with a ride, even though it isn't a district-run or district-partnered program.

Credentials

Southlake-Grapevine KinderCare is a facility-based, corporate-operated center, state-licensed and regularly inspected (including child-to-teacher ratios). It is accredited by NAEYC (the National Association for the Education of Young Children). The center director, Penny Bell, is described as bringing more than 37 years of experience in child-care education, including roles as curriculum coordinator, assistant director, and center director. Staff clear national and state background checks under the chain's hiring process.
