Daycare for Westchase Commuters

The Westchase District is one of Houston's largest employment centers, and the families who work there face a specific problem: the office day runs long, and most daycares close at 6:00 or 6:30 PM.

We are open until 7:00 PM, and we sit south of Westchase on Highway 6, which puts us on the route home for families living in the Alief, Mission Bend, and Highway 6 corridor.

Drive time
About 12 to 18 minutes
Route
South on Highway 6 from Westheimer or the Westpark Tollway
Schools
Houston ISD and Alief ISD boundaries

Built for the commute, not against it

If you work in Westchase and live in southwest Houston, dropping off near home rather than near the office is almost always the better call. Your child spends the day close to home, and an unexpected traffic delay on Westheimer does not turn into a late pickup fee.

Take Highway 6 south from Westheimer or exit the Westpark Tollway and come down. The drive is typically twelve to eighteen minutes depending on the hour.

The 7:00 PM difference

A 6:00 PM close means leaving your desk by 5:15 PM on a good traffic day. That is not realistic for a lot of professional and healthcare schedules, which is why our extra hour is the single most common reason Westchase families tell us they moved here.

It also matters for parents on shift rotations at the hospitals and clinics along the corridor, where a shift change rarely lines up with a daycare clock.

Care for every age in one place

We serve infants from two months through school-age children up to 12 in one licensed building, so a family with a baby and a second grader has one stop instead of two.

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included, which is one less thing to prepare the night before a long workday.
