Texas Woman’s University, Bezos Academy, the City of Denton, and Texas Women's Foundation celebrated the opening of Bezos Academy Denton with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new $6 million preschool located on campus.
The six-classroom preschool is the largest Bezos Academy preschool in Texas and will provide full-day preschool at no cost to families for up to 120 children ages 3 to 5.
“Texas Woman’s has long recognized the financial hardships that many of our student-parents face, particularly when it comes to childcare, and for them this academy is a true gamechanger,” said TWU Chancellor Carine Feyten. “Texas Woman’s, Bezos Academy and the City of Denton have a shared mission to develop lifelong learners and leaders by increasing educational access – and this academy will help us achieve that.”
Bezos Academy Denton will offer full-day, Montessori-inspired preschool at no cost to families served, through fully funded scholarships. Meals, educational materials and other programming also are provided at no cost. Twenty percent of the preschool’s seats are reserved for children of TWU students, faculty and staff, with the remaining 80 percent available to families in the surrounding community.
