Nurturing Curiosity, Confidence, and a Love for Learning

Meet The Owner

Laketta Ferguson

Laketta is an experienced early childhood education professional with over a decade of hands-on leadership in preschool management and child development. Her passion for nurturing young minds began in 2013 when she opened her first preschool in Euclid, Ohio. At the time, she was also serving as a State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) at Cleveland Clinic and University Hospital, while pursuing her degree in Social Work at Ursuline College.”

Her unique background in both healthcare and social work has shaped her holistic approach to early childhood education—one that emphasizes emotional well-being, developmental growth, and strong family engagement. Since 2013, Laketta has successfully opened and operated three preschools, each grounded in her core values of compassion, structure, and excellence.

About Us

Welcome to Future Scholars Preparatory, where we nurture bright futures and shape happy, confident kids who are ready to take on the world! As a family-owned business with over 12 years of experience, we provide a caring, loving space where your child can explore, discover, and grow through play.

Our journey started back in 2013 when Laketta, our founder, began her home daycare while earning her degree in Social Work. She saw the need for high-quality care in her community and decided to provide a place where children felt safe, loved, and empowered to learn. After moving to Dallas in 2020, we expanded our home daycare, and now, in 2025, we’re opening our very own center to reach even more families.

Laketta’s favorite part of the job is building close relationships with families. As a mother herself, she understands the importance of providing care that goes beyond just looking after kids—it’s about nurturing their potential and giving them the tools to succeed.
