My family and I are planning to move to Dallas in February. We have a 2 year old daughter and I am looking for a full-time school for her. She currently attends a wonderful school with STEM lab, art center, yoga studio, etc. I am looking for a similar high quality program for her where she can continue to grow her social, emotional, and intellectual skills. I need some help on what schools would be a good fit for our family.
