Keller is a notably affluent suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, recognized as one of the nation's richest cities with a median household income of over $141,000 as of 2021. Known for its safe, family-oriented community and extensive parks—more than 300 acres developed across 11 park sites with 26 miles of hiking and biking trails—Keller made tech history in 2004 when 9,000 of its residents became the first customers in the nation to receive Verizon's FiOS fiber-optic internet service. One of Texas's most consistently top-rated communities for families, Keller's childcare market reflects its high-income, education-focused demographics with premium Montessori programs, nationally accredited chains, and excellent faith-based preschools. We scored each licensed childcare center across 11 real dimensions — safety, curriculum, arts & music, infant care, kindergarten readiness and more.
