Full Ranking Detail
kinder
Dunbar Tiger Learning Center, located on College Drive in Texarkana, TX, serves children ages 3–5 in both traditional care and an after-school program structured through Texarkana ISD. The center maintains a clean inspection record with zero deficiencies from HHSC, and flexible drop-in care options at $15–$25 per session accommodate families with variable schedules. Activities rotate through music, art, science, technology, and building areas, with after-school hours extending to 6:00 p.m. on school days. Very limited capacity constrains availability, and school-age-only enrollment excludes families seeking full-time subsidized child care.
