Our Story

From tiny tots to pre-teens, Starlight Scholars Academy provides age-appropriate learning experiences that spark curiosity and creativity. Our comprehensive curriculum fosters academic skills, social development, and physical growth, all while keeping children engaged and excited to learn. With great competitive prices and a commitment to excellence, we make high-quality early education accessible and affordable for families.
Where It All Began
It all started with a dream in 1996. Sinok Park, a devoted educator from New York, saw the growing need for dependable, high-quality childcare that working families could truly count on. With a heart full of passion and a vision rooted in love, she founded what would soon become Daddy DayCare & Preschool now Starlight Scholars Academy in the heart of North Richland Hills, Texas.
Her mission was simple but powerful: to create a nurturing space where children are not only cared for—but genuinely loved, supported, and inspired to grow into their brightest selves. It wasn’t just about watching kids while their parents worked—it was about shaping young minds, building character, and creating a second home where children could learn, laugh, and thrive.
Over the years, that dream blossomed into a thriving learning community. With an enriching curriculum, hands-on experiences, and values that center on kindness, respect, and discovery, Daddy DayCare & Preschool has become a trusted name for families across the community.

Today, Sinok’s legacy continues through a passionate team of educators and caregivers who pour their hearts into every lesson, every smile, and every milestone reached. We’re more than just a daycare—we’re a family that grows together, one child at a time.
Tailored Learning for Every Age
At Starlight Scholars Academy, we offer age-appropriate classes that support your child’s development every step of the way. From toddlers to pre-teens, each program is designed to nurture growth, encourage curiosity, and build confidence in a safe and loving environment.
We believe that every child learns differently—and that’s why our curriculum is both structured and flexible, allowing teachers to adapt activities to meet each child’s unique pace and personality. Whether they’re learning their ABCs, exploring science through hands-on experiments, or working on social-emotional skills, your child is always supported and inspired.
Partnership with Parents
We view families as partners in the learning process. Through regular updates, parent-teacher communication, and opportunities to get involved, we make sure you’re always part of your child’s journey—every step of the way.
