My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Ann. Our son struggled with learning to…read moreread in Kindergarten. Learning sight words was particularly problematic for him as was identifying rhyming words and following multi-step directions. I am a former teacher, and my bag of tricks was not helping him. Ann evaluated our son in March of his Kinder year and quickly identified fundamental areas that we needed to address. We also began a Listening program using sound therapy to target sensory motor issues. Ann is the ultimate professional, but she is also a great motivator and coach. Although my son had started to shut down at school and with us at home, he was willing to work for Ann. She is just the right combination of no-nonsense and positive encouragement. She knows her stuff. I immediately felt that my son was safe in her hands and that our money was well spent. As a parent, I learned so much from watching Ann work with my son, and she gave me the confidence to implement what she was doing with my son at home. My son worked with Ann throughout the summer after his Kinder year on reading (in addition to doing a sound therapy program). The progress he has made with reading is truly remarkable, and I cry when I think about the difference in my boy in less than a year. We were already beginning to hear him make comments that he wasn't smart and that reading was too hard for him. Under Ann's guidance and instruction, our son's confidence has soared. Not only is he reading, but he views himself as a capable learner and reader -- HUGE!!

Don't let your child become frustrated - get your child help!

I went to the API program in London this past Spring and it was everything but safe and fun. I was in a co-ed flat with two guys and three girls. I ended up being raped by one of the guys. When I opened up to the program to let them know that I felt unsafe and traumatized, they didn't care about what was best for me, a victim of rape, they only cared about what was best for their program. The only thing they did right was move him out of my flat, which was a given anyways. Other than that they said and did things that have haunted me everyday since. They moved him to another flat in the complex with a shared gym, lobby, and laundry room. Since we were living in the same complex I feared everyday that I would see him. I never wanted to leave my room and when I did do simple things, such as, laundry, I had to always have someone to accompany me. Things that they said were "we have to think about his mental health too, he's very distraught from this." This was devastating as they were acknowledging his "mental damage" for getting caught, but not mine of having my life ruined. I'm not trying to be dramatic when I say that. I get sharp flashbacks everyday of the situation to the point that I can't function and uncontrollably cry. This happened 5 months ago and it will be something that will stick with me for my whole entire life. Their lack of empathy and action towards the situation was repulsing. They covered all of their bases to make sure that they weren't legally in the wrong, but they were. They kept him in the program and verbally invalidated my experience so much that I questioned the goodness of the world. I was supposed to have a positive life changing experience as I was abroad. However, I can only say that my experience was negatively life changing. They said so many invalidating responses to me that I have tried to block them out of my mind as they were so damaging to my mental health. Every now and then their statements will creep back in and I will regress from my mental progress. I never went to the police because I thought "if this program doesn't believe me because of the lack of evidence then why would the police?" I want people to be aware that their code of conduct does not line up with their actions. I suggest that if you want to feel safe, find another program, or at the very least, do not agree to a co-ed dorm.

There were hiccups on the road but the result turns out terrific. P has been early admitted by his dreamed school. We started to work with B2A in late June due to P's summer camp schedule, and the counselor initially working with us found another opportunity and would leave B2A in 3 weeks. Thankfully, after we informed Emily of the situation, she quickly assigned André to work with P. We couldn't be more grateful for this transition. André has helped P develop essay topics most relevant and resonant to his personal experience and kept encouraging him to be himself. P is strong academically but not much a leader type kid. His essay is touching but by far inspirational. P had disagreement with the head counselor after final-review, and after some back and forth email exchange and amendment, decided to submit without the head counselor's final endorsement by the end of October. Now we look back, it would be helpful if we had started to work with B2A weeks earlier in June. Hope our experience with B2A could benefit other incoming seniors.

Stepping Stone School - Hyde Park

Our family has been part of the Stepping Stone School community for nearly a decade, spanning three…read morechildren and multiple campuses, and I can honestly say they have been one of the greatest blessings to our family. My oldest son, Race, first attended Stepping Stone Hyde Park as a baby before transferring to the Wells Branch Parkway campus. Later, my younger son attended both Wells Branch and the Round Rock location. Throughout every transition, we were met with the same thing: caring teachers, strong leadership, consistency, structure, and genuine love for our children. At both Hyde Park and Wells Branch, Ms. Brenda and Ms. Jennifer played a huge role in our boys' lives. They created an environment where our children felt safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. When our family faced difficult seasons, they showed us incredible kindness and flexibility, helping provide stability for our children when we needed it most. At the Round Rock AW Grimes campus, Liz continued that same tradition of excellence. She was always accommodating, compassionate, and deeply invested in the well-being of the children and families she served. Now, years later, I have re-enrolled my daughter Hana at the Hyde Park campus, and I was thrilled to discover that Ms. Brenda is currently serving as interim principal there. When I told my oldest son that Hana would be attending Hyde Park and that Ms. Brenda was her principal, his immediate response was, "Aw, that makes me really happy." That simple comment spoke volumes. Years later, he still remembers the people who cared for him and made him feel loved. The Hyde Park campus has blossomed tremendously since my boys attended. It is clear how much thought, effort, and care have gone into improving the experience for both children and parents. From the moment we enrolled, Ms. Brenda made the process seamless and welcoming. Hana received a personalized Stepping Stone backpack, a teddy bear, and a book as a welcome gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. That teddy bear quickly became one of her favorite possessions. What continues to impress me most is the quality of the people. Hana's teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. You can tell they care deeply about their development, happiness, and well-being. That level of commitment is something that cannot be faked, and it's something I've consistently experienced across every Stepping Stone campus we've attended. I also love the daily photo updates and communication, the STEM-focused curriculum, the outdoor play opportunities, and the summer Splash Days that keep the kids active, engaged, and having fun. The teachers and staff work together as a team, and it shows. Special recognition should also go to educators like Ms. Lisa at Wells Branch and Ms. Olga at AW Grimes, who has dedicated decades of her career to caring for children through Stepping Stone. That kind of longevity speaks volumes about the culture and values of the organization. Finding childcare is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. After experiencing Stepping Stone with three children over many years, I can confidently say that they have consistently exceeded our expectations. The level of care, communication, education, and support they provide is exceptional. They don't just care for children; they help shape them, support families through life's challenges, and create memories that last long after graduation. Thank you to Ms. Brenda, Ms. Jennifer, Liz, Ms. Lisa, and all of the incredible teachers who have loved, taught, and supported our children over the years. Our family is deeply grateful.

My family was part of the INIC community for nearly four years. I sent both of my daughters there…read moreas infants and previously left a 5-star review. I would have enthusiastically recommended this school. Today, I cannot. The issue is not the teachers. The teachers have been exceptional and are the reason so many families choose this school. Despite years of tuition increases and persistent concerns from teachers and families, the school has not made the investments necessary to retain them. In early March alone, at least 7 teachers left or announced their departures--nearly 20% of the teaching staff by parents' count. Both of my daughters experienced unexpected teacher departures in their classrooms during that same period. For young children, teachers are not interchangeable. They are trusted caregivers and a critical source of stability. When teachers leave, children lose important relationships and families are left helping them navigate yet another transition. During enrollment, families are told classrooms are staffed with a lead teacher, an assistant teacher, and additional flex staff available for coverage. In reality, my oldest daughter's classroom frequently operated at the legal minimum ratio of one teacher for fifteen four-year-olds. Multiple current and former teachers described being unable to reliably use sick days, vacation days, or even take basic bathroom breaks because there was often insufficient coverage available. When a school is staffed so leanly that teachers struggle to meet basic human needs during the day, it raises serious questions about how well both teachers and students are being supported. Teachers reported compensation in the $14-$17/hour range despite bilingual education being one of the school's primary differentiators. Comparable non-bilingual childcare positions in Austin often advertise higher wages. The result is predictable: teachers leave. Children lose stability. Families absorb the consequences. Demand for bilingual childcare in Austin far exceeds supply, and many families have few realistic alternatives once enrolled. Given that reality--and given that tuition has continued to increase year after year--I expected a greater commitment to investing in the teachers and staffing stability that families are ultimately paying for. Parents who attempted to ask questions and advocate for improvements--including efforts to reestablish the PTA--often received little to no response. While our family's relationship with the school ultimately ended following disagreements with leadership about these issues, the concerns described here are based on nearly four years of experience and conversations with numerous current and former teachers and families. The teachers are the school's greatest strength. The challenge is whether the school will make the investments necessary to retain them long enough to provide the stability and continuity that young children deserve.

We keep our hands to yourself. Well then my daughter proceeds to tell me the teacher squeezed me and it hurt my heart. When she tells me this she sounded sad and hurt. I went into panic mode asking what does that mean? Like you couldn't breathe or were you in pain? I said when we get home, demonstrate to me and your dad what happen. Well we get home and ask more questions, she said momma sit down, I sit down and she sits in between my legs. She said momma push your legs together like this. She said squeeze me, that's what the teacher did to me. So I said did it hurt? she said yes my heart. So when I dropped her off I told the director, I need a meeting. She asked is everything ok, I said yes and no. I didn't want to give her too much info because I didn't want to lose camera footage. They are known to lose footage or they can not play it back. We have our meeting the next day. I explained to her what happened and told her I want to see the cameras. She explains they are live streamed and aren't able to play it back. So happen the area manager was there. I said what do you mean you can't play them back and so what is the point of having them? So she takes me to the area manager to explain the process of the cameras. She asked what do I want to see. I said a teacher squeezed my daughter and she asked for the teachers name. We go over what happened. They explain I understand if I was in your shoes I would be a concerned parent too and I don't think that teacher would do that. I know you and your family have been here since ******* was a baby. Our priority is to make sure your child is safe but we also want to advocate for our teachers too. They tried to reassure me but it didn't work. The director writes my statement, stated they would question the teacher and get her statement, then they would turn this into licensing, licensing would then investigate the school and then licensing would reach out to me to question the situation. They said in the mean time we will keep this teacher and your daughter in separate rooms. I'm still upset because my child has been here since she was 6 months old and it was like they didn't care. At that point my child turned into a number. We wrap up the meeting. My daughter wanted to go home with her dad, so we go get her things and as we are walking out, my daughter points to the wall and said that's the teacher that squeezed me. Mind you she is on the wall for teacher of the month. So I told myself submit the situation yourself. So I go on the website for daycare abuse and submitted a report. Well when I submitted it, I didn't get a confirmation email or anything. So I find out licensing came to daycare but no one was telling me anything. So then I go back to state website and call the 800 number. That same day licensing reaches out to me. We are talking and she's asking questions. She says something that triggers that she is going off my report. I said what? I said wait you didn't get a report from daycare, she said no. I receive this from an online report. I said you came on Monday and I asked them if you came. They were acting like they submitted the report like they were helping. They didn't want to report this because they were already under an investigation. At that point before I had talked to licensing something told me to pull my daughter out and I did. I went in to get a document signed and the director says Brie's not here, is she coming tomorrow, I said nope and then she asked is she coming Friday? I said nope and she then say is she coming back at all and I said nope. She said did you tell anyone. I said I was getting to that. I said my daughter will not be back and she then hands me the withdrawal form. I signed the form and left. I wasn't going to keep my daughter here. The trust from this facility was gone after they didn't report to licensing, my daughter would say she hated this school or she was scared to go in. I couldn't do it. She had went through 5-6 teachers alone in preschool. She doesn't even acknowledge the school when we pass it. That should tell you something. She use to say that's my school. Trust me, it hurt to make that decision because she also had friends she grew up with since they were 6 months old but I did not feel safe leaving her there with her comments.

Excellent tool for parents looking to help their kids build math/reading skills. I've been shocked…read moreboth by how much they get out of it & how little I'm required to help teach. Our 7 year old son has been going for 2 years and our 3 year old just started. Has made a HUGE difference in their confidence level towards school work. Sometimes, they're (understandably) reluctant to do the exercises at home. However, it's paid off big in reducing any anxiety around math/reading in school. Lots of positive comments from their school teachers. I'm a fan of the Kumon program and an even bigger fan of Ms. Le (head instructor in wells branch). She is very passionate and dedicated. I'm very grateful to have her as a resource in our community.

Last year our then 1st grade was having reading problems. We discovered an eye problem that a…read morenormal school or pediatrician check wouldn't find. We had to focus on reading to get our child caught up -- private tutors, extensive reading programs.... Kumon was what worked & Ms. Le was the answer to our prayers. She was always advising how our daughter was doing and encouraging us all. Our daughter is now reading on 2nd grade level after 6 months in the program & will be ahead of her peers soon!

Small World Preschool

My daughter started at Small World Preschool in August of 2021, with her staying there the entire…read moretime before she goes into Kindergarten at Meridian World School in August 2025 she had went to school there for a total of 4 years. You can tell based on her start date that for the first couple years of her life it was a pandemic and she had little interaction with other people or kids, so going to daycare she was scared and shy. She was a very quiet kid around other people, observing them and not own to show affection or seek it out either. That all changed when she started at Small World and honestly it's because of one specific teacher there, of course the owners John and Mrs Ines are AMAZING. But it was a teacher named Mrs Lucy who changed everything. I imagine she was sent here to love and care for kids that need help opening up, she is so kind, so understanding yet still firm and consistent. She helped Rose completely come out of her shell, suddenly she was talking to other people, she was making friends and not afraid to talk to other kids and ask them to play. We do not live that closer to Small World Preschool and to be honest there is daycare waaaay closer as we live far into Georgetown. But the school was so absolutely perfect for Rose that we could not remove her. Now after 4 years she is just an absolutely loving, kind and respectful little girl. Not a shy bone left in her body, not a kid she can't make friends with. They were amazing about communication throughout the day, what she eats, pictures and videos of her playing. If you are looking for one of the most dedicated preschool in the Williamson county area this is behind a perfect choice. And their camp is great, 3 field reps a week, and activities on the day there isn't one. If I had to do it all over again I would picked School World every single times.

Como mamá en muchas ocasiones me asustaba la idea de poder llevar a mis hijos a una guarderia, pero…read moredespués de una mala experiencia en una escuela pública y de otra muy mala experiencia en otra guardería de round rock tuve que sacar a mi hija y mi hijo y buscar preescolar en algún otro lado, comencé a buscar y buscar hasta que di con Small world un lugar donde mi hija mayor comenzó hace 3 años y ahora el más pequeño también está ahí, la verdad estoy más que feliz y mis hijos son muy felices también, adoran a sus maestras, las maestras son muy amables, muy entregadas a su trabajo y no se diga de Mrs Inés y Mr Johnny, fueron tan cálidos y tan amables, las instalaciones son muy lindas, pero lo más importante es el trato y el amor que ellas dan a cada uno de sus estudiantes. Se preocupan siempre por su bienestar. Small world no solo es una guardería es parte de mi familia. Gracias por todo

I specifically asked if the ($1700) that I agreed to pay would be the only charge, I was told yes but they continued to charge me. Stacy the woman whom I spoke to about the issue was very rude. This business seems to not care, neither do they do as they say. Their program is very expensive and not worth the headache. I would never recommend! I would give them 0 stars if I could.

What Comes Next for You?

Our daughter was entering her senior year of high school and ready to start applying to colleges…read more We had no idea how much the college application and admissions process had changed since we attended college. After attending an informational seminar at More Than a Teacher we decided to hire a college advisor to help us get through the college application process. After the 1st of five meetings, the advisor was very slow to respond to any of our voicemails or emails. It became apparent that we would not be able to get through the process in our remaining 4 sessions which were $250/hour. I could have upgraded to the 'unlimited' package to get additional help but I did not feel that this advisor would have my daughter's interests in mind irrespective of how much money we spent. I decided to pay a visit to my daughters school and talk with the school counselor in hopes of getting some direction. The schools don't typically endorse or recommend college advisors in the private sector but luckily I was able to get the names of a few private counselors that had previously worked in our school district. I reviewed their websites and proceeded to phone the first counselor... Carol Niemann. Wow what a difference! Not only had Carol just retired from my daughter's high school so she already had a huge advantage but she took the time to talk with me and understand our needs. We set up an initial consultation, free of charge, with my daughter to make sure it was a good fit. My daughter loved Carol and I realized that not only did she have a wealth of knowledge about college applications/admissions but she also knew how to effectively communicate with today's teenager. Carol was able to get my daughter through the application process and we successfully applied to 8 colleges. Throughout the process, Carol always responded to any questions we had and she was fabulous to work with. Without her help we would have had a lot of drama and fumbled through the process. We highly recommend Carol Niemann to anyone that is interested in having their student work with a college advisor that thoroughly understands the process and also cares about the individual.
