For centuries, education has been touted as the great equalizer of society. This remains true today. In fact, research shows that children who are prepared to enter kindergarten at grade level are more likely to graduate from high school, continue their education post-high school, attain increased lifetime earnings, maintain improved health, and benefit society overall.
Bachman Lake Together exists to unite the community to prepare every child for kindergarten — academically, socially, and emotionally—so they can thrive in school and in life. Its unique formula for kindergarten readiness is driven by high-quality early childhood education, parent leadership, and family well-being, and accelerated by the power of community. This holistic approach ensures families’ individual needs are met—as many of the families with children under 5 in Bachman Lake are Hispanic, Spanish-speaking, and new to the United States. Bachman Lake Together serves the 75220 zip code with a focus on residents within the street boundaries of Walnut Hill to the north, Midway to the east, Northwest Highway to the south, and Denton Drive to the west. Its Family Center is a quick, 4.5-mile drive away from Saint Michael.
