Full Ranking Detail
kinderschool-age
Custer Road Christian Day School is a faith-based program in Plano affiliated with Custer Road United Methodist Church, serving children ages 18 months through Kindergarten with preschool and private kindergarten classes. Founded in 2001, the center emphasizes a holistic approach to early childhood development—spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and intellectual—designed to build confidence, leadership, and self-esteem alongside academic readiness. Teachers are noted by the limited available reviews as very loving and dedicated, supported by a low student-teacher ratio. The program includes STEAM activities and musical movement enrichment, with office hours Monday through Friday, 9am to 1:55pm. Parent review data is sparse (only one public review), limiting visibility into broader satisfaction levels, and the program's scope does not extend to infant care.
