About
A Heritage of Learning in Lake Dallas
The Children’s Learning Station opened in 1985 after purchasing the land of what was originally the first Church of Christ (125 years old). The land and chapel were purchased and have now been fully converted into a completely renovated 21st century childcare center.
Along with our newest expansion, The Children’s Learning Station is now equipped with over 5,000 square feet of the newest childcare software and industry leading tools.

Meet Our Director

Mrs. Kristine Burgan
Ms. Kristine grew up in Lake Dallas Texas, and started at CLS when she was 3 years old. She has worked with the school since she was 16 years old, moving from an assistant with the after schoolers, to a toddler 2’s teacher, eventually growing into her own as a director, and taking over for her mother Ms. Sherry Bickers.
She is now married with 3 wonderful kiddos and a kitty. She loves going to the beach, cooking with her family, reading mystery novels, and watching funny movies.
“My favorite parts about preschool are the lifelong friendships, the opportunity to learn new things, and getting messy with fun art projects.“
-Ms. Kristine
