infantkinderschool-age
Sonlight Preschool is a Texas-licensed, faith-based early childhood center affiliated with Lakeview Fellowship, located at 9940 Morris Dido Newark Rd in Fort Worth and serving ages 18 months through Pre-K. The program uses play-based learning with a structured Christian curriculum, including daily Bible instruction and weekly chapel, delivered via group activities such as daily music and movement and twice-daily outdoor play. A member of the Early Childhood Christian Network, Sonlight offers flexible 2- or 4-day attendance options with low ratios and small class sizes, allowing families to choose the program structure that fits their schedule. However, hours are limited to 8:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m. and follow the EMSISD school year calendar rather than offering year-round care, making it most suitable for families with school-aligned schedules.
