Finding the right childcare
in Irving, Texas

Irving's 75038 zip code has been recognized as the most diverse in the United States, with no ethnic majority and nearly equal representation across Asian, Black, Hispanic, and white populations. The city is home to the Mustangs of Las Colinas, the world's largest equestrian sculpture, which stands at Williams Square portraying nine bronze horses running through a water feature and commemorating the wild mustangs central to Texas's pioneer heritage. Irving (pop. 240,373)'s prime location between Dallas and DFW Airport, combined with its diverse, working-family demographics, has produced a large and varied childcare market spanning national chains, immersion programs, and faith-based preschools. We scored each licensed childcare center across 11 real dimensions — safety, curriculum, arts & music, infant care, kindergarten readiness and more. Scores drawn from major public review platforms and parent communities — not center marketing.

                              • La Petite receives a 1.9-star national average; parent reports include a teacher dragging a child across the floor and abuse concerns — visit and scrutinize in person if open

                              Strengths

                              • 100% Facebook recommend (19 reviews); serving Las Colinas since June 2015; programs for 6 weeks to 12 years with authentic Montessori approach
                              • Monday-Friday 7:00 AM-6:00 PM at 431 E Royal Ln; also offers after-school programs for children 6-12 from local elementary schools

                              Considerations

                              • Both Montessori of Las Colinas and Guidepost Montessori at this location are confirmed closed as of March 2026 — do not attempt to enroll without first verifying a currently licensed operator at this site
                              • Does not accept child-care subsidies; no active HHSC license to evaluate
