Testimonials
-
My husband and I have put off putting our daughter in school for about a year because we never felt 100% sure about the process or any place we called/interviewed…When we first toured the school and met the director we knew KLA was top notch and nicer than any other school hands down that we had visited.
The classrooms are large, bright and beautiful which was really important to us. She has adjusted to attending school better than I ever would have imagined! She basically flew out of my arms in the morning after just two days of starting. Her teachers, as well as the director, and staff are wonderful. Everyone is so welcoming and involved with the process and child. We feel thrilled to have our child attending KLA Schools!
– Mandee B.
-
I love this place! KLA has exceeded my expectations in every way. My son is growing and learning so much, and he is a confident, happy little boy. This is due to the environment at KLA and his teachers and the staff. I appreciate the updates every day and hearing about everything he is doing! KLA has been a wonderful home away from home for my son.
– Rachel B.

KLA is a wonderful preschool. The staff is amazing and you can tell that they are passionate about what they do.
The facility is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. They do a great job with their art program and letting the children be creative with numerous art mediums.

LISD PPCD (at select LISD schools)
Another option to consider is LISD’s PPCD program.
Although the program is designed for preschool-aged children with disabilities, they also need “peer models” for each classroom. As a peer model your child would serve as an example of age appropriate behavior in a learning environment. All of the instruction is based on the Pre-K Curriculum requirements of TEA, which are addressed for students’ individual needs. Areas addressed include language and early literacy, math, science, fine arts, personal and social development, etc. Program hours and ages vary by campus. Contact your local elementary school for details or call the LISD Special Ed department at 469-713-5203.
Lewisville Rec Center – Early Connections
Offered by the City of Lewisville Parks and Leisure Services, these programs are held at the Herring Rec Center at 191 Civic Circle in Lewisville. Programs are available for 2 year olds (who are close to “potty-trained”) through Pre-K, and offer many fun, academic and creative based activities throughout the day including gym, art and music.

Alpine Hill is one of
the most interesting viewpoints ecological
trails . Stony or alpine
slide , rock garden ,
rockery – all this is the name of a flower garden, in which stones and stones are whimsically combined
plants.
Alpine hill is a kind of mountain landscape model in
reduced form.
Rock garden is also considered as
an independent object for observation, has a cognitive and aesthetic
meaning. Plants alpine
slides are unpretentious , most of them in natural conditions
grows on rocky areas or on sand. For example, the features of these
plants can be considered their adaptability to various environmental conditions
environment, teach children how to care for plants. Unusual alpine
slides calls
children are of particular interest. Rock garden will help to visualize the connections between
plants and insects that visit them. On alpine slide is usually successful
objects of animate and inanimate nature are combined, so it can be used
for conducting classes on any block of the program. And finally, a general view of rock garden ,
the beauty of plants, the combination of different colors – all this contributes to the development
aesthetic taste in children and parents.
Rock garden is a landscape composition, usually high-rise, which
arrange on natural or artificial terrain in combination with retaining
walls, small water devices. For rock garden inherent selection
plants in mountain landscapes.
Stone, with its complete
immobility, unchanged in all seasons, serves as an excellent background for
changeable beauty of plants. Even in a small area, you can create
a miniature alpine slide with dozens of plant species that will delight
its flowering from early spring to late autumn.

Selection of plants for the alpine slide.
In a stone garden, plants find themselves in difficult conditions: bright sun, lack of nutrition in a small amount
soils, risk of freezing, strong weathering. That is why it is so important for
rock garden plants take into account their environmental habits . Of course, in
each region has its own characteristics when choosing plants for an alpine slide,
but there are also general patterns.
Preferably drought-tolerant, well-tolerating plants
temporary lack of moisture. These species are usually associated with their
origin with steppes or dry mountain slopes – carnations, tulips,
bows, liatris, small daylily, geyhera, etc. enough rocky hope
plants such as rezuha, saxifrage, juveniles, clearings, saplings and plants
dry light forests (forest anemone, speedwell, rank) .
Most of the recommended plants grow well
on any soil (sour,
neutral and alkaline) . High fertility “Alpine” not
necessary, therefore, fertilizing with mineral fertilizer can be done only once a
season is early spring.
A place for rock garden must be chosen open, sunny. Trees and fences
should not reduce the drying effect of the wind. The crowns of tall trees will give
unnecessary shade, and their powerful roots can suppress the growth of alpine plants.
A few large stones are more beautiful than many
small. Stones should be placed so that their most bizarre shape
surface was facing outward. Small stones and fragments of rock
grouped around large ones, which are buried in the soil by about a quarter.
You can create a raised bed with a filled base
finely crushed stones. Retaining walls – sandstone, brick or
fragments of plates.
Advantage of indoor
plants for rock garden
Plants
for rock garden, it is not at all necessary to be adapted for landing in
open ground. Today it is very fashionable, in addition to gardening, to use and
indoor flowers for rock garden.
If
Do you remember that our mothers and grandmothers often put out pots in the summer
with indoor plants to the street – they “moved” either to the balcony, or to
dacha, but always spent a lot of time outdoors. Last
time such a fashion – to send indoor crops for a summer vacation – received
new life. Pots with plants decorate not only yards and backyards
plots, but also alpine slides, assigning plants the role of wild herbs high
in the mountains.
To
decorate the territory, you can use both large and undersized plants,
moreover, both in tubs and in ordinary pots. Why houseplants
are they so popular when decorating an alpine slide? Just
the advantage of indoor crops is that they stand out against the background of the usual
plants commonly used for this purpose. Moreover, these flowers
“mobile” – they can be moved from place to place, which will allow you to recreate
as often as possible interesting compositions in your area.
Annex 1
Didactic
games to introduce children to plants alpine slide .
1. “Find what I will describe”
The goal of the game is to name the plant after its description.
Play action : search for plants by description of distinctive
signs.
Rule : A plant can only be named by description.
Equipment : 3-4 plants growing in the territory of the nursery
garden, for example: petunias, pansies, tradescantia, etc.
features of each of them. Children listen carefully to the story caregiver . Then he
invites one of the guys to show the plant and name it.
2 “Guess what kind of plant”
Purpose of the game : to develop the ability to guess and guess
plant riddles.
Game actions : Guessing and guessing riddles about plants.
Regulations : plant can only be named after description
its distinguishing features. Describe in order.
Game progress:
Plants stand their ground
ordinary places. Educator invites one of the children to choose
one of them and describe it so that all the children know and can say what it is
plant.
The teacher reminds preschoolers of the sequence of description: first of all, you need to say if there is a trunk and branches.
Then remember what they are (standing straight, curly, hanging, thin or thick,
describe the leaves, their shape, surface (smooth, non-smooth, coloring (dark, light green, variegated, with stripes, spots) .
Next, you need to dwell on whether there are flowers, how many of them are on the pedicel, how
painted. When the children guess the plant, you can invite them to find representatives of plants in group room
of this type.
3. “Know the plant”
Purpose of the game
name.
plant.
Rules : after finding the plant, you must explain how you recognized it.
Game progress : plants (several types of one
families) stand on
their permanent locations. The teacher tells all the children :
“I will name a houseplant, and you must find it, show and tell, according to
what sign was determined.
Whoever does it faster will get a chip. To the one who
collect more chips, at the end of the game we will assign the title: “Connoisseur of Nature” .
Note : a similar game is familiar to older preschoolers (they played in the middle group ) . Then into the game
included 3-4 plants with sharply distinctive features. In senior and preparatory
to school group child
it is proposed to find a plant from 8-10 and indicate the characteristic feature by which it was determined
his.
4. “Each plant in its place.”
Purpose : to exercise knowledge of the growing conditions of indoor
plants.
Material : pictures of indoor plants,
illustrations of different growing conditions of plants (jungle, swamp, desert) .
The teacher resembles that in nature
different plants grow in different conditions: in hot jungles, near water, in dry deserts,
and offers to put pictures of indoor plants to pictures with their places
growth.
5. Find your stone.
Purpose of : To develop tactile sensations, attention, memory.
Procedure : Each child chooses their favorite
a stone from the collection (if this game is played on the street, then find it, carefully
examines, remembers the color, touches the surface. Then all the stones
stacked in one pile and mixed. The task is to find your stone.

Bonsai Plant Nursery – Alpine Hill
Do-it-yourself alpine slide. Making an alpine slide in your garden on your own is quite difficult, but possible. Your imagination and your own taste in the development of landscape design of the site will allow you to make a paradise on earth … So, let’s start!
1. Choose a place.
Choose a spacious, sunny place on your site, where you visit quite often, and where the future rock garden will be the main object for admiration! The first thing to do is to mark the place of the future object.
2. Dig a pit and make drainage.
First, we prepare a pit 20-30 cm deep, after which we equip the drainage. Broken brick, crushed stone, expanded clay, gravel, construction waste are suitable for this. Then the drainage must be covered with sand (you can replace it with fine gravel, pebbles; in principle, you can not even replace it, but make a cocktail …)
What is drainage for? Drainage in landscape design plays the role of a foundation, because the soil tends to subside.
It also helps remove excess water. We pour earth on top of the drainage to the level of stones, carefully tamp and pour water. The soil must be fertile and loose.
3. Place the stones.
We select the size of the stones in accordance with the scale of the site: large stones are suitable for spacious areas, if the area is small, it is better to give preference to medium boulders and limestone. The color and texture of the stones should be in harmony with the overall ensemble and emphasize the beauty of the surrounding vegetation. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to one type of stone: granite, quarry quartzite, sandstone, limestone. Stones are laid in tiers, according to the principle – from large to small: we put large boulders at the base, and we place smaller stones at the top. At the very top, you can hoist some original, rare specimen. Each layer is sprinkled with well-moistened soil. The classic rock garden includes three to five tiers. Between the stones we leave enough space for the growth and development of plants.
Shrinkage of the alpine slide will occur in 2-3 years. Plants for rock garden should be planted immediately. In the spring, the soil is corrected, as the earth is washed out and weathered.
4. Planting plants.
First of all, tall plants are planted on the hill, then stunted ones follow, ground covers are planted last. It is necessary to plant plants starting from the highest point of the alpine hill and ending with its foot. Having planted the next plant, we form a shallow funnel around the stem (trunk) to collect rainwater, sprinkle each plant with a layer of small pebbles (layer thickness – about 30 mm) – to protect against excessive moisture and block weeds.
After planting, the plants should be watered abundantly. The rock garden will look great throughout the warm season if the plants for the alpine slide are selected so that their flowering does not occur at the same time – for example, some plants bloom in May-June, some in July, and the rest in August.
As a rule, perennial alpine plants are used in the formation of rock garden green spaces: fescue and obrieta, lavender and speckled lamb, rezuha and beetroot rock, soapwort, saxifrage and geranium.
Cracks and fissures between stones are suitable for planting unattractive and undersized plants. In the center of the composition, you need to plant especially bright perennials – they will attract the attention of viewers to the main compositional elements of the rock garden.
Most often, the following types of shrubs are planted in rock gardens: pieris and Japanese maple, erica and azalea, wolfgrass and white derain, forsythia and rosemary, dwarf roses and shrub cinquefoil. Of conifers, only dwarf forms are used.
5. Care of the alpine slide.
As with any element of the landscape, an alpine slide requires regular maintenance. Especially a lot of work in the spring-autumn period. In the spring, you need to clean the alpine hill from fallen leaves, remove the protective fabric from the plants, eliminate traces of the vital activity of mice, moles and other pests, check the stability of the stones, strengthening them if necessary, add fresh soil.
As soon as it gets warmer, weeds will appear – they must be weeded in a timely manner. The main care for the rock garden in the summer is watering.
Plants should be inspected often enough – they can be affected by putrefactive microorganisms, mold and various harmful insects that require immediate treatment with herbicides.
In the autumn season, bulbs of new plants are planted, stems of faded plants are pruned, tubers and bulbs of those plants that cannot endure winter cold are removed, branches of coniferous plants are tied with a rope so that in winter they do not break off under the mass of snow. Particularly tender plants should be covered with Agrotex, the rest should be covered with leaves and needles, pressing this natural insulation with a rope net and fixing it with stones to protect it from strong winter winds.
Well, actually, that’s it! Do-it-yourself Alpine slide is ready! Well, wasn’t this beauty worth the time and effort spent? You can admire your own creation and invite your friends!
DIY Alpine slide | Spring autumn
The Alpine Hill is called so for a reason, because outwardly it resembles a miniature of the Alps and is a kind of mountain range in a summer cottage.
It is advisable to have a slide on the sunny side, and not far from a reservoir or recreation area. It is important to understand that the marked element of landscape design needs care, that is, periodic watering, top dressing, as well as various works. Therefore, the creation of an alpine slide with your own hands is relevant only if a person often visits the site and can fully care for the object.
Both plants and stones are the basis of the slide design, so they must be chosen carefully. It is important to immediately mark the dimensional boundaries and use either large boulders or small stones. You can also pay attention to the appearance and specifics of the form. Pebbles should be laid out in tiers, and there should be at least 3, but not more than 5. During the calculation, you can realize your ideas as much as possible and not be afraid to experiment. It must be remembered that in winter and early spring the hill will not be covered with greenery, which means that the stones themselves must perform a decorative function.
Large distances between stones can create an impression of incompleteness. An attempt to get a perfectly symmetrical figure can also be a failure, since the slide should fit well into the overall picture of the site, and also be perceived as something as close to nature as possible and absolutely miraculous. There is a certain scheme: the bottom layer should consist of massive stones, while smaller stones should be placed above.
Plant selection features
Before you learn how to make an alpine slide with your own hands, you need to decide on the main representatives of the flora. It must be remembered that the design should delight with beautiful vegetation almost all year round. It is recommended to select only those plants that are maximally adapted to the climatic features of the territory, otherwise caring for the slide can become a real problem. Harmony is the main component, since all the details (stones and plants) should complement each other, keeping balance as much as possible.
It is advisable to choose low-growing plants, as well as those shrubs and flowers that can withstand temperature extremes and the characteristics of actual soils.
When choosing seasonal plants, it must be remembered that bulbous plants are relevant in spring, in summer most of the completely different flowers, in autumn colchicum, and in winter decorative coniferous trees. It is also necessary to periodically clear the area of weeds, because excess greenery will create the effect of unkemptness and can spoil the created composition a lot. To make everything look as beautiful as possible, it is recommended to plant dwarf coniferous plants in the background, as undersized flowers of bright colors come to the fore.
Building an alpine slide on your own
The step-by-step instruction for the formation of a rock garden is simple.
Prepare a location for the future slide
It is necessary to carefully inspect the garden and give preference to the area that is most noticeable, located near the recreation area and is sufficiently illuminated.
First you need to dig a pit 45 cm deep. Then the ground in it should be tamped and covered with a specially prepared drainage cushion (30 cm, prepared from crushed stone, construction waste, sand and gravel). The placed pillow also needs to be pressed a little and covered on top with a mixture of soil, peat, sand and gravel. Often, ready-made mixtures are sold in specialized stores, which can be safely used for a similar purpose.
Install boulders
The process itself is very simple, you need:
● Place large stones, fix them with slabs or concrete, and cover them with earth from above. Base boulders should be sunk into the ground by 1/3 of their size;
● move to a higher level and lay out smaller stones in a similar way;
● plant plants between pebbles;
● fill in the required layer of mulch;
● Pour everything with enough water;
● Watch the growth and clear the created hill from weeds.
Plant plants
Do-it-yourself alpine hill is not complete without selecting vegetation and moistening the soil. Shrubs and small conifers should be taken as the basis of the composition. Decorative flowers of a short type are recommended to be placed in not very deep holes. Moreover, you need to fall asleep with a combination of gravel and soil, because such a mix will allow you to get rid of excessively rapid evaporation of moisture, and will also greatly complicate the growth of weeds. It is important to arrange the plants over the entire surface of the future slide so that there are no bald spots. Stones should not be covered with plants, but complement the overall picture.
Having figured out how to build an alpine slide, it is necessary not only to follow all the above instructions, but also carefully monitor the aesthetics of the object. Some fans of landscape creativity complement the rock garden with a variety of decorative devices for the garden, forming a full-fledged plot with figurines, a bicycle, artificial pools, etc.
