My Preschool and CDC - Northwest is a small licensed childcare center in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving infants through kindergarten-age children with flexible scheduling options. As part of the faith-based My Preschool network—which includes a well-regarded sister campus in Alameda earning 98% parent recommendation—it participates in Texas Rising Star Program and emphasizes learning through play to build children's confidence and family connections. The center accepts subsidies and offers both full-time and part-time care with competitive tuition ($910–$1,127 full-time, $520–$780 part-time, plus a 10% sibling discount), operates weekdays from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and provides meals and snacks throughout the day.
