Welcome to the Lake Highlands Area Early Childhood PTA!

Whether you're holding a newborn or chasing a wild little preschooler, you've found your village, and we’re so glad you’re here.

The Lake Highlands Area Early Childhood PTA (LHAECPTA) is a vibrant, community-wide organization supporting families with children from birth through age 6. We’ve been building friendships, creating memories, and uplifting early childhood in Lake Highlands since 1959.

We’re different from your typical PTA, we’re not tied to a single school, but we’re proud to be part of the Richardson ISD Council of PTAs and stay connected to the schools that feed into Lake Highlands High School and Beyond.

Anyone who loves and supports young children!
Whether you’re a mom, dad, grandparent, nanny, auntie, neighbor, or friend. If you’re raising (or helping to raise) a child age 6 or under, we’d love to welcome you to our village.

We’re open to all families in Lake Highlands and beyond. There are no geographic boundaries or school requirements.
