Child Care and Preschool

Families with children age 5 and younger may be interested in day care or preschool opportunities. Day care provides supervised play activities. Preschool offers an academic structure. All charge for their service. Many have waiting lists so you should call as soon as possible. None of the businesses near SMU accept drop-ins, (take a child for just an occasional day). Many churches have mother’s day out, where children are taken care of in a play group for one morning a week. They usually require regular enrollment for this service.
