About Parker-Chase Preschool of Carrollton
Parker-Chase Preschool of Carrollton
Parker-Chase Preschool of Carrollton provides a developmental learning environment that emphasizes the whole child through social, emotional, and cognitive growth. The program is anchored by a unique project-based curriculum where students explore real-world topics—like transforming the school’s Kiva into a dinosaur habitat—to foster critical thinking and teamwork. This hands-on approach ensures that children are comfortably challenged at their own developmental pace. The facility features bright, colorful classrooms and a secure outdoor playground where children engage in gardening and physical discovery. A significant differentiator is the onsite chef who prepares nutritious, family-style meals including homemade whole-grain breads and fresh vegetables. This shared dining experience allows teachers to model etiquette and social skills daily, creating a community atmosphere that extends from infants through school-age after-care.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Warm and inviting environment. Employees consider all the children to be their students. Employees support one another to accomplish group experiences for 2 or more classes. Wonderful children’s garden and mudkitchen that are truly for the children. Weekly themes are fun and engaging. Parent communication is stellar.
We are very impressed with Parker Chase. Unfortunately my son has had his two other preschools close in this last year, which lead us to PC. I truly feel it was a blessing in disguise because our son’s attitude towards school has changed drastically, he actually wants to go to school. He talks about how much he loves his new school & tells me every day the things he’s learned. Within a few weeks of attending, he’s recognizing his letters & numbers and doing simple addition. Ms. Coco is hands down a unicorn (amazing, one of a kind) preschool teacher. We absolutely love her!!! PC was also accommodating with allowing us to do “school day” hours instead of full time, which works best for our family. They are great with communication and post photos of activity often. We finally feel good about dropping our son off.
Our son was at Parker Chase for a shorter time than we expected due to an unexpected move. We were so grateful for our son’s time at Parker Chase! The facility is so welcoming. Their playground layout is amazing and the kids get a lot of outside time. There’s also a lot of parent involvement. The teachers were very sweet and patient with our son.
Parker Chase is like a second family. The leadership of the Directors, Ms. Julie and Ms. Kristi, are what drew us to the school over 5 years ago, and since that time we've had all 3 of our kids there. During that time, the school has confirmed what we knew within the first 5 minutes of meeting Ms. Julie - this was a place where our children would be loved, taught and nurtured. Everything starts with the culture Ms. Julie and Ms. Kristi have built at Parker Chase - Carrollton. The teachers are a direct reflection of what they've built. I highly recommend this as a preschool if you are looking for a great place for your kids.
Parker Chase is one the most wonderful places for children to be. My daughter was going to after school care here last year, and this year she begged to go back in summer. She repeatedly asks not to pick her up before 6pm so she can stay as long as she can. Ms Julie and her team are doing wonders keeping children engaged, interested and learning while creating tight community and family atmosphere for parents and everyone involved.
Web Report
Aggregated insights from public records & parent discussions
Safety Record
In August 2024, a former family sued Parker-Chase Preschool in Carrollton following an incident in March 2023 where a three-year-old child was allegedly found with severe bruising. A teacher, Nyomi Reyes, was subsequently criminally charged with injury to a child; the lawsuit also alleges the school failed to adequately communicate the incident and criminal charges to other parents. While a school representative recently claimed a perfect state inspection, the facility has faced significant legal scrutiny regarding its transparency and safety protocols following this incident.
Parent Reputation
Overall reputation is polarized between high-rated internal testimonials and serious external legal concerns. On the school's own website and platforms like Winnie, the facility maintains a 5.0-star rating with parents praising the nurturing environment and low student-to-teacher ratios. However, recent news coverage and legal filings regarding teacher misconduct have led to public criticism concerning the management's response to safety issues.
Staff Insights
Reviews from employees are limited but include a 2022 review from a Carrollton lead teacher who described the facility as an 'amazing' place to work with supportive management. General reviews for the parent company, Endeavor Schools, highlight concerns over high turnover and corporate-driven environments, though individual campus culture can vary. Management at the Carrollton location specifically has been praised in some parent reviews for being professional and attentive to feedback.
