Carpe Diem Private Preschool

The corporate (Endeavor Schools) and local leadership have given a perfect lesson for everyone how how to run a school into the group. If you are thinking about bringing your children here God help you!

We love Carpe Diem and appreciate all they have done for Cooper and our family. They are easy to talk with. They want to help the success of each child and work with us to do that. Cooper has learned so much, he surprises me every single day. This school is not close to our house, but worth the drive so my child gets the best education at age 4.

My daughter has been at this school for 3 years now and I enrolled my baby boy at 2 months, he's now 1- and there is no place I more implicitly trust than Carpe Diem. Their teachers are absolutely exceptional. Every day we give thanks to the good Lord for this school and it's staff. Such a blessing in our lives.

My son has been going here since he was 18 months old. Every single teacher he has had has been amazing. They have worked with him on some of his behavioral issues and I am proud to say that now at 3 years old he is able to sit through the high structure curriculum this school provides.

Now, no school is perfect and because of that I gave them 4/5 stars. Every facility deals with times of teacher turnover and not every teacher child relationship is perfect. However I am so grateful that the director at this school has gone above and beyond to make me and my son as happy and comfortable as she can and because of that my child has strived!

This school isn't for every child. It is very structured and they have high expectations for their students and their staff. But if that is what your child responds to, then I highly recommend you bring them here. Their teachers are qualified and full of creative learning technics. No boring working pages, only hands on, engaging, sensory learning.

I am very lucky to have had my chance to bring my son here. I'm very satisfied!

This facility cannot be trusted, especially if your child has a life threatening allergy! They will tell you exactly what you want to hear to get enrollment. Our son has a severe peanut/tree nut allergy. We initially chose Carpe Diem Private Preschool in Southlake because they had a "Peanut Free" policy, which they told us that they were diligent about upholding. Based on their promises, we enrolled our two children. Two days ago, I walked into my sons classroom where there are two students including our son that have a severe life threatening allergy to peanuts. A parent, who was well aware of this policy, managed to bring in two-dozen cupcakes that were manufactured in a peanut/tree nut facility which was written on the packages in big bold black letters. These cupcakes made it through the three front office staff members and then the teachers that fed them to our son! This is like playing Russian roulette with our son’s life and the other student’s life in is classroom. If there is any cross-contamination, a child can pass away faster than they can call 911 or administer an EpiPen. When a parent is told that their child will be safe and is not kept safe, you have to question the ability of this school to keep any child safe. After my discovery, I confronted the Assistant Teacher that was ready to feed him yet another one, as well as, the Director of the school. It was the Director’s job to make sure that this product never entered the school and into the bodies of the children affected by this life-threatening allergy. They failed miserably. When we confronted the Director, she said to both my Husband & I that she had no idea that they were in the school nor did she see them come into the school. We took them out that day and then took our son to his Allergist and then to his Doctor. The day after that, we brought them back to the school to discuss the situation further and to give them a letter from his Allergist acknowledging the life threatening situation that they put our child in. The Director then went on to tell us that they are no longer a Peanut Free school and that our child would be safer, which is huge contradiction. They took away their liability and put it on the teachers, as well as, lied to us. If they could not keep my child safe when it was a Peanut Free school how could they possibly keep my child safe when peanut and peanut products can enter freely into their school and into my child randomly. Two days had passed in between the incident and us going back to the school and not one call from the school to see how our child was! Then, a few days ago, I actually called the parent who brought the cupcakes into the school to see how she made it through the school with cupcakes. She told me that she went straight to the Director and received her approval to bring the cupcakes into this classroom. Which means, the Director blatantly lied to my Husband & I when she told us that she had no idea how they got into the classroom. It also states that the very Director that is supposed to implement and adhere to the rules of this school – DOES NOT! She completely lied to us with absolutely no remorse. This preschool simply does not care about the safety of our children; they care about their bottom line and reputation! They want the enrollment but could truly care less about the families and children that are enrolled! If an innocent child of three years old cannot be kept safe there then no child is safe there. We have heard things over the past year and half about this school and now we can confirm them. This was, by far, the most severe as our child's life could have been lost as well as his classmates. Child safety should be a priority and at this school, it is not!

It's the best preschool in town. The staff is exceptional. My daughter loves her school. I previously had my daughter in another school with an excellent reputation- and found that the Carpe Diem staff is head and shoulders superior in the degree of care and concern they show for the children entrusted in their care.



This is the best preschool in southlake/keller, no question about it.

My daughters.... the most important people in the world.. they deserve the best......CARPE DIEM in Southlake. Not only do they care for my girls like I would want them to, they have an amazing learning environment.. I am deeply fortunate to have found this school, the owners are incredibly nice people who are totally involved with the day to day activities...

This preschool was exactly what we were looking for to enroll our 3 year old daughter. The teachers are highly educated, low student to teacher ratios, top-notch learning activities which include a spanish teacher, and the facility is safe and secure. The facility is also very clean and orderly. All of the staff know us and our daughter. It really feels like we are part of a big family and they actually care about my daughter and her educational success.

I have recommended this school to many neighbors and friends. I would highly recommend considering Carpe Diem for your child as well.

My husband and I looked at every preschool in Southlake and Carpe Diem was heads and shoulders above the rest. As we kept looking at other places Capre Diem came back again and again in our discussion as the best. We decided to give it a try. We were hesitant since our 2 1/2 year old daughter had never gone to school before or been away from home. She is very shy and not used to being around people. However, the school is fantastic. She is making friends and very interested in all of the activities. She looks forward to going to school in the mornings and talks all about what she did when she gets home. She loves the school a lot. The teachers are super friendly, knowledgeable, degreed, and very good at working with kids. They have separate Spanish and music classrooms and teachers. They have breakfast, lunch, and snacks all included which is great.

I love the cameras ( no other places offer that), it gives me piece of mind: anytime I want I can make sure she is ok. The school is very organized,clean and the staff is friendly. The kids are taught good manners and always have fun things to do. The lesson plans are posted online so you always know what your child is going to be learning about today/ this week or month. No time to be bored or miss home with all the fun projects going on. We highly recommend this preschool , and if we had to chose again, we would definitely choose Carpe Diem. We would not consider any other school for our child. It is worth it to pay a little more for the best education and environment for our child!

My two sons, ages 2.5 and 1.5, attend Carpe Diem Preschool Southlake and we absolutely love it. I visited several preschools and Montessori programs prior to starting our sons here and by far Carpe Diem Southlake was our choice. I cannot say enough about the caring staff, super clean facilities and peaceful learning environment.

Take the time to make one visit to the Southlake facility and I am certain that you will be as impressed as I was and continue to be.

I am very happy with my Carpe Diem experience - spacious and clean environment with great quality teachers who care for my daughters. Most importantly, she really enjoys school and learns so much from different activities at school. Her Spanish is a lot better than mine, even at 2 years old :-) Definitely the top preschool at Southlake!
