Family nights out
Local restaurants host us for an evening and give part of the proceeds back to our teachers.
Kessler Park Day School · Oak Cliff
It takes a village. This is ours.
The KPDS Parents Group is the families of Kessler Park Day School, working together to celebrate our teachers, get to know each other, and make the school year a little more fun.
We plan family nights and playdates, raise money for teacher appreciation, and make sure every new family feels at home.
Our year

The things we do every year, so you always know what’s coming next.
