Welcome to the North Dallas Early Childhood PTA!

Whether you're a returning member or just discovering us, we’re so glad you’re here.

At NDECPTA, our mission is rooted in connection. As a proud chapter of Texas PTA, we’re dedicated to helping every child reach their full potential—and we believe that starts by supporting parents and caregivers during the foundational early years.

We bring families together through shared experiences that inspire learning, spark joy, and build a sense of belonging. Whether you're looking for playgroups for your little ones, parenting advice, volunteer opportunities, or simply some friendly faces at the park—we're here for it all.

Why Join NDECPTA?

Community: With over 175 families, you're sure to find friendships that grow alongside your children. From casual meetups to moms’ nights out, there’s always someone ready to share a smile, a story, or a bit of advice.

Support: Parenthood doesn’t come with a manual. Our monthly meetings feature guest speakers on topics like discipline, nutrition, early childhood development, and more. And when you need quick help, our private Facebook group or All Member GroupMe are a lifeline for real-time answers and encouragement.

Play: Children learn best through play, and we make it a priority. We offer age-based playgroups, Morning Coffees, and Explore 214 outings across Dallas. While the kids connect, parents have the chance to build their own support networks.

Service: Giving back is at the heart of what we do. Through family-friendly service projects, we teach our children the value of kindness and community. We support local organizations like Community Partners of Dallas, Genesis Women’s Shelter, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, and the Dallas Public Libraries—thanks to the generosity and passion of our members.

Growth: Over 25 of our member families welcomed new babies last year! But our growth isn’t just in numbers—we’re growing as parents, neighbors, and leaders, together.

I invite you to dive in. Attend a meeting. Join a playgroup. Volunteer for a cause that matters to you. The more you participate, the more you—and your family—will get out of this community.

And to our incredible sponsors: thank you. Your support helps us build something truly special for local families. We encourage everyone to support these businesses in return.

If you have any questions or ideas, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for being part of the NDECPTA family. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Warmly,

Margaret Hart
President, North Dallas Early Childhood PTA
