I have a little girl that will be 3 in July. I am wanting to put her in a 3 day/week preschool. I am fairly new to the area and have very little knowledge about the schools. Any advice would be great! We prefer Christian/United Methodist. Thanks!
Discovery School in Smithfield United Methodist Church in North Richland Hills is a NAEYC accredited preschool and kindergarten.

I live in Saginaw and it is not far for me. You live closer than I do. My husband is in education and I was a preschool teacher for the last three years. I am pretty hard to please. After a month of research, I narrowed it down to a list of about 10 preschools. My husband and I looked toured six different highly recommended programs in the area off our list and really liked this one the most. My daughter is four but did not turn 4 until December 3, so she is in one of the three year old classes.
I did not want day care. I did not want just Mothers Day Out. I did not want to pay a 200.00 a WEEK for a few days of real preschool. I wanted something affordable but I also wanted everything the unaffordable schools offered.
Discovery School is a Christian Preschool accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. NAEYC is the largest and most respected early childhood organization in the nation. I felt at home the minute I met the director and my daughter left a wonderful program so it had to be special. She loves it. I am impressed and very happy with my choice.

My children attend First United Methodist Fort Worth. They are also NAEYC and have a 2, 3 or 5 day program for when she's getting ready for kindergarten. The classes are small and the teacher's are highly educated and really love their jobs. I'd be happy to tell you more.
