New Preschools to Open in Cross Creek Ranch

Parents will soon have two new options when it comes to introducing our youngest Cross Creek Ranch scholars to the exciting world of education. And the best part? They are very close to home.

Our first on-site preschool is opening this month and is already registering eager learners. Chysalis Preschool,located at 3522 Cross Creek Bend Lane, offers infants, toddlers and Kindergarteners the Early Years Program, a blend of experiential learning and a gradual building up of skills that prepare children to take on the academic challenges of a higher grade.

After-school also will be available. Kids can participate in Pre-CHAMPS activities that allow them to develop special talents and to enhance their enjoyment of the school experience.

In addition to brightly colored classrooms and a playground, the facility includes a specially designed Science Experiential Laboratory to teach the fundamentals of science, math and technology.

Security and safety is a priority. Classrooms are camera-controlled and playgrounds are securely fenced. The entry system is monitored electronically, with a manager at the front desk. All staff and teachers go through thorough training on safety and security procedures and are reference- and background-checked, as well as monitored throughout the day.

Registration is ongoing. Parents can visit the website or stop by the school between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Ivy Kids Learning Center broke ground in our community Feb. 3. The 15,484- square-foot state-of-the-art learning center is located across from the Cross Creek Ranch Welcome Center. The school will cater to children ages six weeks to pre-kindergarten and also includes before- and after-school care for children ages 5 to 12. The school is slated to open in September.

Ivy Kids offers healthy and nutritious meals prepared by an on-site chef, an individualized approach to every child, learning based on the multiple intelligences principle and superior safety standards.
