Denton City County Day School is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board consists of members of the community that have an interest in early childhood education. DCCDS staff is made up of an Executive Director, Assistant to the Director, full time preschool teachers' and part time preschool teachers and one cook. We also have volunteers from the community, high schools and the two local Universities. DCCDS mission is to provide quality affordable childcare on a sliding scale basis (based on family size and annual income of family) to families in Denton County. Parents pay a weekly fee, this just a small portion of the cost of providing care for a child at DCCDS, the school than seeks other funding sources to cover the remainder. The school is a United Way of Denton County partner agency and is licensed by the state of Texas Protective and Family Services.

Denton City County Day School is open Monday through Friday, 6:30 am to 5:30 pm. Children are offered breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack daily that meet their nutritional needs. Children are grouped in classrooms according to age and birth date. The age range is two to five years of age, during the school year. During the summer we offer a summer care program for elementary age school children. To help meet the changing needs of our local community and neighborhood, Denton City County Day School has several bilingual staff members. The bilingual Teachers help children master the English language and prepare for public school.

All the Teachers at DCCDS use a theme based curriculum, which changes each week. Teachers at DCCDS are committed to the quality care each individual child receives. We offer parents a lower child to teacher ratio than is state recommended. At DCCDS we strive towards providing an atmosphere of care, love and learning for children and their families.
