My toddler daughter has been at Parker-Chase for about 1.5 years, and we absolutely love it. The teachers are loving and kind, the administration is professional and friendly, and the chef cooks wonderful food and is sweet to the kids. Between my two children, Ive had to deal with several daycares and preschools, and Parker-Chase is the best by far. I cant say enough wonderful things about Parker-Chase and its employees.

I have an infant at Parker Chase Preschool. After touring and interviewing many schools, I fell in love with what Parker Chase had to offer. Now being a past preschool teacher, I was quite picky in my selection. I knew what to look for and the questions to ask and the answers I expected to hear. Parker Chase answered all my questions and put any feelings I had at ease. No one came close to Parker Chase when having to decide where to place my newborn.Running a high quality school first starts from the top. The Director Michelle and her assistant are AMAZING. They communicate efficiently with parents, take care of and respect the parents and staff. The teacher turn over rate is very low at Parker Chase and that is hard to find. You will find teachers there who have been there for 10 years or more and STILL LOVE what they do!Now the teachers! Hands down my favorite people! From my sons teachers to the upper grade teachers, I love them all. They know me, my son and they arent even in his class. My sons teachers are respectful, fun, loving and well educated. It was very important to me that I have a safe feeling when leaving my newborn at school, (Ive never had to do that before). They allowed me to walk out that door after dropping off and fulfill my day at work without a worry in mind. That is hard to find. It is not uncommon to find them on the floor reading, singing and being silly upon drop off and pick up! He is about to make the transition into the next class and this has been a smooth transition with a lot of communication. This school isnt just a school, it is a community! A strong one at that!

We’ve been at Parker Chase for over a year now & we LOVE it! The teachers are so kind, attentive & good to our little - they truly love the kids & love their jobs. The menu is awesome - healthy & diverse. I’ll never forget the first time a teacher showed me a picture of my 10 month old eating broccoli & chili! The new management is great - they encourage communication & family participation in school events. There is an active parent organization (PCPO) for service projects & teacher appreciation. It really is a wonderful school & feels like family to us.

We love this school. After researching our daycare options I found Parker Chase. I felt at home immediately when I walked in and spoke with the director Sherry to ask all my many questions and get a feel for what the school could offer. After interviewing other parents at the school we enrolled and it has been wonderful. We have been here over a year now. I know that his teachers are investing in our child and caring for him well. Something I noticed very quickly when I was considering Parker Chase and especially since we have been there is that this is not just a place to leave your child while you go to work. Sherry is invested in the staff and the children and its obvious that this is her mission in life- to provide a safe nurturing environment for children so they can learn and explore and grow into who they are meant to be. She has always been gracious and patient with me and very supportive. Im so thankful and grateful to God every day for this place. Not just for what it means for my son and his education and development but for what it means to me and my husband.

We have been at Parker Chase for a few months now. My 3 and 2 year old LOVE IT! The teachers are the Best! I had stressed about what school to put them in, but I feel really great about the choice I made. The cook is wonderful, and I find my kids eating more foods at home bc of this. Other than a great learning atmosphere they also have dance, basketball and soccer for the kids to participate in. If you are looking for a school where you feel at home, and they treat you like family I hope you decide to take a look at Parker Chase :).

I have been a teacher at Parker Chase for 7 years and my four year old and two year old sons have been there since they were both 8 weeks old. I encourage you to go in to PC and NOT feel like the staff and children are family. Parker Chase is a NAEYC accredited school that focuses on learning through play. We focus on being kind, respectful and empathetic. We highlight the power of using your words and teach children the importance of breathing and control. As I spend the day with my little friends in my classroom, I cant tell you how much I enjoy listening to my sons talk about their fun day from their own rooms. I do my part as their mother and my incredible coworkers foster their learning and creative minds during the day. You will truly be amazed by your childs behavior and knowledge from their experience at Parker Chase!

I love Parker-Chase preschool. All the teachers here are so nice and awesome with the kids. This preschool reminds me of the preschool where I went when I was a child. They also have fun extra activities like ballet, karate, and gymnastics. Besides all the fun stuff they do at this school my child seems like she has learned so much and is very advanced because of this school. Great school I would recommend this school to anyone.

Nothing but great experiences here at Parker Chase for my 2 wonderful children who went all the way from the baby room though Pre-K. Every teacher was always engaged in their activities and growth as well as creating a relationship that felt like family from start to finish. They all helped shape the minds of our children and I couldnt be happier with the results. Thank you for all that you have done for us, and keep up the good work!

To make a long story short, my 2 year old was spitting on a Thursday and got kicked out on a Tuesday. They never gave him a chance to overcome this phase of being a toddler. The director, Sherry Hall, became angry when I accused her of selling his spot. She quickly refunded our deposit and the time he missed. Dont go here. Go somewhere where they give kids a chance to be toddlers. They expect toddlers to be like adults here. Whatever.

Rarely ever do we say how much we appreciate the people in our lives and I know that needs to be done more often. I apologize for not bringing this to your attention more often as I should. Rex and I sure do appreciate you and all you do for us. You make working and being a parent easier for us by providing a loving and caring place for us to keep our child during the day, so we can not only go to work, but concentrate at our jobs as well. We couldnt do this without you or your wonderful teachers. Its wonderful to have a place that Annika can go while we work, where we do not have to worry about her at all! The extra services that you work to bring into the daycare: the photographers, the dance company, the gymnastics, the karate, (and whatever else there is that I do not know about) are really, in my opinion, above and beyond the call of duty as far as a daycare is concerned. I want you to know how much we do appreciate these things and with your extra effort it makes our lives much easier and less hectic!I thank God everyday for you and the teachers at Parker Chase. I have every since the day I first came in to see what this daycare is like. I dont know if that means anything to you, but it means a lot to me. I was led to Parker Chase for a reason, and I know that now. Yal1 mean a lot to me and I pray for you everyday!

The owner was very nice. She did her best to help me when I worked there and I have no complaints about her. But let me tell you, I have never felt so unwelcome and unwanted by a co-worker as I did there. Many days I had told go cry in the bathroom to keep my sanity. I left after one month. Most awful person I have ever come in contact with.

Full disclosure: I worked here, but I am writing this review based on both my experiences as a teacher at PC and as an outsider with relevant degrees and a lot of experience working with children. Lets jump right in:My favorite part of PC is the feeling of community and inclusivity. Instead of banning everything, PC took the stance of including everything. So, we celebrated everything from Diwali to Christmas to Holi.We invited every parent to present on their religion and/or a holiday and the parents blew me away. They would show up in traditional dress, cook a meal (not only for the kids, but all of the teachers in the school), and have so much fun sharing their celebration with the class. So many schools have gone to a celebrate nothing model. Winter Party....really?The kids in my class had the opportunity to really learn and understand a culture different from their own. If all schools went this route the world would be a better place.I LOVE PC. I went to investigate the low ratings in case the school had actually dropped standards. Long story short, no. I would really encourage you to visit the school and speak with the staff, as well as current families. Anywhere you visit, it is important to ask about staff turnover. The number of teachers who have been with PC 10+ years speaks volumes. The school follows NAEYC standards, so you know that your child is receiving quality, developmentally appropriate instruction the way kids learn best- play! No piles of letter copying worksheets here. Teachers have autonomy in their classrooms to create and modify activities to best suit the childrens needs. Most of all, these people LOVE teaching and serving families.

Absolutely nothing, the teachers are great but the owner Sherry is a horrible person. Shes not only rude but lies and constantly talks badly about the teachers AND children that go to her own school. I took my children out of this school after hearing the owners Sherry and her husband not only talking badly about the teachers but ALSO making fun of them. To make it worse she was doing and saying these things to the PARENTS of the children in these teachers classes. I was modified and personally believe this place needs to be shut down. Any bad fortune the owner has had shes brought upon herself by her awful actions. Beware of this school, which is a shame because it has such potential if it had different owners. Karma always comes around.

THE BEST PRESCHOOL IN PLANO! My son started at Parker-Chase just about a year ago and I could not be happier with the level of attention, love and support he has received since day one. We began in the Toddler One class with Ms. Sara and knew instantly that this was the school for us. We have since moved to the Toddler Two class with Ms. Kaylan and Ms. Emily and our experience has been absolutely fantastic.Here are just a few things I like about Parker-Chase:1. It is a NAEYC accredited preschool with a strong focus on education.2. The Director, Ms. Sherry is a wonderful person with great integrity who truly cares for her students and their families.3. THE TEACHERS! They are energetic, educated and loving. They know what they are doing and are not afraid to crawl around on the floor with their students if it means inspiring their natural creativity and curiosity.4. They have an in-house chef that prepares daily nutritious meals for the kids (no chicken fingers and french fries).5. I am constantly running out of room on my fridge because my son works on an art project just about every day.*Plus, every Friday the whole school gets together to sing songs and discuss what they have learned for the week.As a mother, I would like to challenge any other mother who is looking for a GREAT preschool in the area to come and visit Parker-Chase. I am confident that once you walk through those doors that you too will discover what we all at Parker-Chase have discovered: THE BEST PRESCHOOL IN PLANO!

I almost never review anything but this place cares for my child. Im familiar with daycares and I can understand how special it is when teachers truly care about the children.This isnt just a room with toys where the staff sits around. They interact with the children, they take advantage of the way their brains develop, they are educated in each important stage and milestone in their growth. They communicate on a personal level everyday and we always feel informed. My baby was already doing arts and crafts and learning at 5 months. They have shown nothing but love and are protective of the kids.I love how most one star reviews online are people that got mad at being corrected or mad that their kid isnt being raised by a daycare to have better standards than even they display. Let me make something clear, daycares are not meant to raise your children for you. If bad habits exist, its on you, not them. How refreshing to have a school point out issues that help you as a parent. Go ahead and get defensive. So easy to throw an adult tantrum and get on here to have the last laugh. You look like an idiot.No, daycare isnt meant to raise your children, but Parker Chase will nuture them and enrich a day to day life with a child that far exceeds normal daycares.
