At the Bluebonnet Campus, we offer a Parents' Day Out program from 9 am to 2 pm, four days each week. This program is geared toward the stay-at-home mom or the mom who works part-time outside the home. Call 343-9688 for the Child Development Center (Downtown) or 767-4080 for the Parents' Day Out program (Bluebonnet).
