Carrollton's BEST
Kids

Carrollton, Texas · Kindergarten through 5th grade

School lets out at 3:00.
You don't.

We pick your child up from their school, feed the afternoon with martial arts, dance, sports and art, and hand you back a kid who is worn out in the good way. Then we do the same thing all summer.

  • Free pickup from 6 schools
  • Level-2 checked coaches
  • Summer rates published

Two programs, one place

Which one are you here for?

Same building, same coaches, same background checks. The difference is what time of year you need us.

After School

We collect your child from their campus and keep them busy until you are done working. Full-day camp on school holidays is included, so a district closure is not your problem to solve.

  • Daily transportation included
  • Full-day camp when school closes

Why parents pick us

You are not dropping your child off with strangers.

Every coach clears the same background check Carrollton schoolteachers do. The owner answers her own phone. Families re-enrol year after year, which is the only review that really counts.

In their words

What families say

This is definitely the best camp around. The owners are amazing people who really want what is best for the children in their program. Everything is very structured and they always speak positively to the kids. Their martial arts program is amazing, some of the best in the world. Top notch for sure.

The people in the room

Coaches your child will actually remember.

The same faces run After School and Summer Camp, so a child who joins in October already knows everyone by June. That continuity is the whole reason the room works.

About Carrollton's BEST

Before you call

The questions parents ask first

What ages do you take?

Kindergarten through 5th grade, for both After School and Summer Camp.

Do you pick up from my child’s school?

If your child attends McKamy, George Bush, Country Place, Mitchell, Jerrie Junkins or Blanton Elementary, yes. Daily transportation is included in the After School membership at no extra charge.

What time do I need to pick up?

By 6:00pm. From 6:05pm a late fee of $1.00 per minute may be charged, and repeated late pickups can affect enrolment.

How is summer tuition billed?

Credit card only, collected seven days before each weekly session. Full Summer is billed week to week rather than as one payment up front, which is how the lower rate is possible.

What is the registration fee?

A $35 registration fee is required and is non-refundable. It covers your child’s first camp shirt. Additional shirts are $20 each, collected at camp.
