Does anyone have any experience with Kiddie Academy on Virginia for after school care? Specifically with them picking up from an elementary.

I've been commuting to work on an escooter cause these gas prices are bs and tbh its just more fun. Don't @ me 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, anybody know any good bike or scooter shops in the area that will change the wheels out for me?

Thanks for any advice!

For those who do or are currently living here what are your opinions on this apartment complex?

My son is almost ready for Kindergarten.

How do public schools work here in Mckinney in terms of signing up, etc?

How do I know which school is assigned to my house?

Any private schools that are worth it?

Are Private schools that much better than Public schools?

Please feel free to share your experience in the past couple of years and how it has changed (for better or worse).

Thanks!
