Miss Lola is an exceptional head teacher who brings a warm comfort to the room everyday. She has taught my child new skills and she takes such thoughtful, devoted care of our little one. The assistant teachers are equally incredible. Miss Vita is always so happy and lights up every time she sees our child, which makes drop-offs so much easier and leaves no doubt in our minds about how much she cares. Along with Miss Liz, she helps create an environment that is safe, nurturing, and incredibly welcoming. It's never easy to leave your child with other people, and the first week was definitely difficult for me as a parent, but these women made the transition easy and I know my child is getting exceptional care from them. I will be sad when my child ages out of their classroom, but I am grateful for the care they have provided.

I have had children at Stepping Stone for over two years. Both of mine started in the infant room…read morewith Ms. Lola, and I TRULY do not know what I would have done without her. My youngest started in her classroom earlier this year, and this time around, we had the pleasure of having her helper, Ms. Vita! They both light up when we walk in every morning and I genuinely feel like my children are loved by them in a way that I will always cherish and appreciate. You hear horror stories about daycares, but I am blessed to leave mine every day feeling grateful for the hands that are taking care of them while I work. Ms. Monica has also been a bright spot in my kids days, and I am excited for my youngest to transition to her care soon.

Our children love Primrose! Every teacher we have had there has been so incredible. We love Ms…read more Jasmine, Ms. Giselle, Ms. Barbara, Ms. Alex, Ms. Alasia, Ms. Luna and all the other infant teachers at the school! It is such a relief having a place that we know they are happy and well taken care of. We get updates through an app on how their day is going and I am always impressed with the variety of activities our children participate in throughout the day. They are truly learning so much when they are there. Another huge thing is that the facilities at the Mueller location are so nice and well taken care of. I think communication could be better especially for new parents on their first day - as a new mom I was nervous and wanted to know more about logistics on the first day, but since then we have settled in nicely. There also has been some minor confusion on protocols for medication administration that has caused a bit of an inconvenience. Overall though we are having a great experience and would recommend Primrose to other families that are looking.

My child was enrolled at Primrose Mueller for nearly 2.5 years. Under their first director, it was…read morean excellent school -- one we were proud to recommend. That changed about 18 months ago when they hired a new director. Since then, the school has lost 47 teachers in calendar year 2025 alone, and roughly the same number in the 7 months prior -- driven largely by her combative management style. You can verify their turnover history yourself at the Texas Health and Human Services website, particularly how it compares to COVID-era staffing. The instability has real consequences for children. I've personally walked into classrooms four separate times with ratios dramatically out of compliance -- one teacher to 20 kids. More seriously, a child was lost during a school event. These aren't minor complaints. The franchise owner, Christy Black, is largely inaccessible to parents raising concerns. She also owns the Easton Park location, which has faced similar -- if not worse -- issues, including an incident that resulted in a child being hospitalized. If you're evaluating childcare options, I can't recommend Primrose Mueller under its current leadership. Christy, you know what the problem is, and you know how to fix it. I hope you do, for the safety of every child in your care.

Our son has been at Barton Creek Childcare since he was 6 months old, for a year now. We have been…read moredelighted at how happy he is to be dropped off in their care. We receive frequent updates throughout the days of the curriculum and activities he does, and love the art we receive when he comes home. We have experienced nothing but flexibility and genuine care and love for our son from the staff. Ms Daniela is always so communicative about him and I am so appreciative of the attention with which he has been cared for there. And the seasonal parties for parents to see the kids play are always such a treat!

My children came from a negative experience at a nature center nearby and I was very concerned about my oldest daughters self esteem from this experience. The teachers here have been so kind and loving to my spicy little girl as well as bolstering my oldest daughters self esteem.

Thanks Ladies!

We love this school. Last spring we started our son at a highly rated daycare school that was…read morepretty expensive and although we loved the teacher nothing about dealing with the school or director went smoothly. We moved our son to child craft and were a little hesitant at first with the price being significantly lower than the previous and just not appearing quite as new or fresh I could say. We love love miss rachel and my son is happy here. He isn't nearly as aggressive at home as he was with the other school and has learning to communicate better and follow direction better and he just loves the playground so much too and they do full on potty training too so the months of stalled potty training at his last school and two months of being at this one and at home training he is almost 100% trained aside from nighttime.

My children and I adore Sammy's house. We feel very fortunate to have found Sammys at a time when…read morewe needed care, stability, and assistance most. We started as Sammys when my Oldest was 1 and she recently graduated from pre-k at Sammy's, my son attended from 8 months- 3 years and my youngest daughter was in excellent care from 3-18 months. Sammy's staff are incredibly professional, nurturing, patient and engaged. Not to mention, there's obvious diversity in their staffing and that is so beautiful to see! Miss Isabel has created a place for children of all abilities to be seen, loved, and accepted. My children have learned some of life's most valuable lessons in their earliest years and for that I am forever thankful!

I don't typically do reviews, but I must warn whoever I can…read more If the new Youth Director is still there, run, do not walk, run away from that place. Not only is she dishonest, she is unethical to say the least. She has people who do not work for the company, nor has any affiliation with the company to lie and and create "false" reviews for her on Google. From telling staff to not put anything in writing to flat out dishonesty about injuries in the classroom and telling staff not to tell parents. She is a liability waiting to happen. The Youth Director lied about her experience, only to find out she has NEVER been a Director, she stated that she came from Texas Rising Star; eyebrow raise number two. For the school to lose all of their stars under her is quite telling. It's not the Executive Director's fault, she was mislead. I understand that we as parents of special needs children want our children to be in the safest place possible, but if the top isn't creating a safe place, it's impossible to trickle down!

If I could leave zero stars, that's what I would rate this location. This review is towards the…read moreadministrative staff (principal included) not the teachers. My experience with this daycare was incredibly frustrating and, frankly, concerning. After taking a tour, I followed up with the principal and received no response for nearly two weeks. I had to go out of my way to track down enrollment staff just to get basic questions answered. Even then, communication was disorganized and incomplete. No one followed up with me on pending items. I had to keep reaching out myself just to get updates. What made this experience worse was the final response: I was told the classroom "may not be a good fit," with absolutely no clear or professional explanation as to why. After being ignored, having to chase down information, and then receiving a vague dismissal, the entire situation felt dismissive and questionable. As a single parent and a person of color, this experience did not feel equitable or respectful. At best, this reflects extremely poor communication and lack of professionalism. At worst, it raises concerns about bias in how families are treated.

We are so lucky to have found Paragon Prep Preschool for our daughter! As first time parents, we…read morewere so nervous to find a great daycare that would take good care of her while also being interactive and educational. We hit the jackpot! The infant room, led by Ms. Alisha, Ms. Betty and Ms. Eunice, is the best! They all love and care for the babies as if they were their own. They do SO MANY different activities and even include them during scheduled STEM, Spanish and music time. Every other teacher and administrator we have interacted with had always been a positive experience. They know all the children by name and make you feel like you're at home. We are really grateful for everyone there and look forward to seeing our daughter grow at Paragon.

CCOA Jester is an amazing daycare facility! Our 1 year old has been there since he was 5 months…read moreold, and he has received the best care. All the teachers are extremely caring and absolutely amazing with kids. Quite a few of them have been with CCOA for a long time and are very experienced when it comes to young children. Additionally, the facility is so impressive - we toured plenty of daycares and CCOA was by far the cleanest and brightest facility. The young babies/toddler building feels so cheery and it made us feel so relieved that our son was in such a warm and welcoming place. They also provide food and have a great menu selection, which makes our lives as parents that much easier. Lastly, communication from CCOA Jester is amazing. So many daycares are difficult to get in touch with, but CCOA is not like that at all. They are extremely responsive, and Miss Erica (the school director) is on top of everything. We were honestly blown away by the level of communication at CCOA Jester. Overall, I would highly recommend CCOA Jester to anyone looking for childcare! We have had a great experience here!

We plan to have our youngest join school soon. The classrooms are beautiful and thoughtfully set up, and the whole environment feels warm and welcoming.

The small student-to-teacher ratio allows for such personal attention, and every single teacher and staff member knows my daughter by name.

Since starting at St. Michael's, she's come out of her shell, grown in confidence, and learned so much. As a parent, I also appreciate how involved we're allowed to be -- there are plenty of volunteer opportunities if you want to engage more closely with the school community. Couldn't recommend it enough!
