FRISCO — Finding affordable, high-quality childcare in North Texas continues to be a struggle, and research shows it is causing parents to miss days of work or leave their jobs entirely.
A first-of-its-kind center in Frisco aims to help children, parents, and employers with a nursery school and coworking space in the same facility.
“This is so unique and special,” said Angela Swindell, the school’s play-based curriculum director. “I’ve been doing this in North Texas for 20 years. I’ve never seen anything like it. Usually, it’s drop your child off and go about your day, we’ll see you eight to 10 to 12 hours later.”
At Savanna , which opened about six weeks ago, parents can be as involved in their children’s lives as their workdays allow.
“If I want to pop my head around the corner and see how he’s doing, I can,” said Carly Clark, whose 18-month-old son attends the program. “And it has given me so much peace of mind as a parent to be able to sit and actually focus on my work.”
