North Texas family directory: city resources and kids’ guides

On this page

New around here, y’all? Start with your city services, then compare the activities that fit your family. This directory covers public resources and links to kids’ activity guides across all seven towns. A mailing city does not guarantee a particular utility provider or resident discount.

Prosper and Celina

Prosper's utility-service page explains how to begin town services and flags service-area exceptions. Celina's water-billing page connects residents with its account and start-service information. Use the exact property address when checking either.

Anna and Melissa

Anna publishes an online new-utility-service application. Confirm the property's provider before applying. Melissa's Living page organizes resident information; start there when building a list of city services and local resources.

Princeton and Aubrey

Princeton's official city website is the starting point for municipal information. Aubrey maintains a New Resident page. For either city, follow the official department link for the service you need and save its contact details.

Little Elm

Use the town’s water-billing page to find its service-area lookup and connection information. Verify the provider for your property before applying.

Turn the directory into a household checklist

Our suggested checklist has a line for water, wastewater, refuse, electricity, school district and any association-managed services. Add the provider, official link, account status and the next action required. Keep account numbers in your own secure records, not in a public comment or directory submission.

The business links below are editorial listings based on public provider information, with no paid placements in this update. We have not attended these programs, inspected their facilities or awarded a verified-provider badge. Compare the written terms and the program’s suitability for your child before booking.

Things to do with kids, by town

Choose a dedicated guide for parks, library programs, indoor play and classes. Each page includes source links and pricing where verified: Celina · Prosper · Aubrey · Little Elm · Anna · Melissa · Princeton.

Local news and family reading

For additional activity ideas, Jennifer Casseday-Blair’s DFWChild guide to Celina and Prosper brings together parks and family outings. Plano Moms’ swim-lesson guide offers a regional parenting-blog perspective, focused on Plano rather than the 380 corridor. Check the provider’s own page for today’s rates and enrollment details.

For growth coverage, the Princeton Herald’s July 22 report on Princeton Town Center provides local reporting on the planned retail development. Celina Watch’s June 5 business roundup is a dated local blog/newsletter snapshot. Older opening forecasts in either source need a fresh operator check before you make a trip. These links credit the publishers’ work; they do not imply a partnership.
