We had the nanny we got from an initial placement from Windsor for years, but that was in spite of…read moretheir services, not because of them. Our nanny's Driver's License expired, and they unilaterally fired her. No notice to us, her actual employers, they just sent a termination email directly to the nanny. When I raised serious concerns that their lack of communication and interference caused us considerable trouble, with the nanny threatening to walk away, I was greeted with condescension and finger pointing, not problem solving or resolution. Despite these failings, we attempted to engage with Windsor again for a new nanny search. We clearly stated what we were looking for, and offered a pay range within their publicly posted scale. The agent applied hard sales tactics to attempt to incite us to increase the rate to well above market, which was significantly higher than their publicly posted pay scale. We politely declined the pressure, and agreed to move forward with our preferred market rate. Instead of sending the contract, as we'd agreed, the agent sent a vague email referencing the agency's preferred, above market rate, and suggested yet another phone call would be required. I agreed, despite the unprofessionalism of this request, and went through the same time wasting process, again. At that point, and only then, did the "CEO" deem us unworthy of their business. You wasted my time and tried to hustle me. Drop the pretense.

There was lots of hugs and affection, and we never had any concerns around his safety or academic growth.

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.
