Carpe Diem Private Preschool - Southlake (Closed 2025)

Any preschool can help a child learn letters, numbers, or shapes. At Carpe Diem, we help children learn how to learn. Our curriculum emerges from the child`s interest and through experiential learning.
Our teachers continuously observe and document what children do and how they do it. Everything is done with realistic, attainable objectives, so teachers can plan meaningful activities and inform parents about their children`s progress.
We know early childhood education sets the foundation for a child`s future. We believe that where a child learns has a direct impact on how well a child learns, which is why we`ve put so much thought into creating the perfect learning atmosphere for our students.
