Approximately 25-30 salaried professionals
Î
Is this school age specific?
Yes

No, but are currently in discussions

Not yet, need to talk to the city. The previous project has a TIA which may be
Î
applicable.
What about drainage issues?
We will address existing conditions and work with the city.
Î
The Childrens Courtyard was approved years ago. Do you anticipate traffic issues with
Timarron?
Most pre-schools are larger than us which reduces the footprint. Our impact will

be less intense.
We also offer red carpet service which allows for a staffed front door drop off.

How many pre-schools are in Southlake?
There is a competitive market here but we are prepared and offer a unique
Î
experience.
What is the cost?
Approximately $275 per week for an infant. The price goes down as the child
