When I picked him up he was still in that same diaper completely soaked. Was I asked the teacher how often she changes diapers she told me after 3 hours she puts the kids on the potty which I now is a lie. My son was standing in a corner of the room near the door whimpering when I picked him up I asked the supervisor how long he's been crying and how long has he been standing by the door? She said it hasn't been long since he's been crying and that he didn't wanna play with the other kids and he decided that he just wanted to stand by the door, which is absolutely not OK with me when there's a crying child. It's the responsibility of the staff. To comfort a child and make them feel like they are in a safe place this place is a disgrace the teachers obviously need more training and compassion and me training on how to handle children. The supervisor is heartless doesn't seem to care and is very very rude. I would not put my child in the center.

This daycare is small business and I really wanted to love it. My daughter was there for 4 months…read more In that time, the rates were never posted anywhere, we never received a handbook, and there was a lot of turnover. We loved Ms. Adella. She was my daughter's teacher from pretty much the beginning. She was open and communicative. It was very clear that she LOVED children. It more than showed. I posted rave reviews about Ms, Adella and recommended WY to other mom's. As soon as we found out she was leaving, I started looking for new care. The management is incredibly disorganized. I've overheard the GM yelling at her staff in an incredibly inappropriate manner. 7 people quit in 2 months. They are understaffed. You never know who will be watching over your child any given day. Some of the remaining staff are really nice. Even with that being the case, I did not feel comfortable leaving my child here.

Ms Daniela is always so communicative about him and I am so appreciative of the attention with which he has been cared for there.

As a first-time mom, I was extremely cautious about who I trusted to watch her, so having that feeling of safety with the school meant a lot to me. The center is a small, family-owned place, and the staff is amazing and very loving toward the children. My daughter is about to turn three and loves coming every day. She has flourished throughout the years of being here. She can count, knows her colors, and is a social little butterfly. I can't be more thankful to the teachers who have my daughter daily and help her grow. Bright Kids has been a wonderful environment for her development, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and safe place for their child.

I completely agree with some of the other reviews. My daughter's main teacher Ms. Christina was…read moregreat. She cared and when I had a concern she would address it then followed with a change. The rest of this review is an issue with the owner, Rochelle. To sum up she made me feel like my daughter was unsafe and this issue now made my daughter unwelcome to return to class. The issue began when Christina was gone and no one else confirmed my daughter was ready to come back to school after being sent home with a fever (I sent a note via chat letting them know she will be returning the next day). I understood that they needed a Dr.'s note or that we wait a full 24 hours (her fever broke at noon that same day). What I felt was unnecessary and set the rest in motion was when another teacher, Ms.Vanity, felt the need to apologize for the situation and say she saw my message and figured someone else would respond. No one else responded and now I had to make adjustments at work. This made me distrust Prep N Play. If an incident were to occur and Ms. Christina wasn't there, no one would feel the need to help, protect, and ensure my daughter's safety. When I addressed this with Rochelle, she apologized BUT they were just following policy in sending her home. I brought up other issues where communication is not being received by other teachers that sub in and she felt the need to explain to me why that is inaccurate. Rochelle could not understand my fear and left me feeling like my daughter was completely unsafe. After that emotional conversation, Rochelle called back at 6pm and confronted me saying I was rude to her and she is wondering if my daughter would be a good fit for the school. This made me feel that whenever I have a concern, Rochelle is unwilling to address and follow with a change. Her ego is more important to her than my daughter's safety. She has no empathy or sense of understanding. I was in shock that if she was going to make this call she couldn't have waited until the morning. Her lack of professionalism amazes me. I can't expect that only when Ms. Christina is there that she will be safe. The purpose of this review is to remind parents to really get to know the owners, sometimes accidents happen due to their inability to take action. This was a result of a simple issue. I can't imagine how she would handled a larger issue of any kind.

Let me start by saying that I cannot say enough good things about Prep N Play Academy! My daughter…read morehas grown tremendously in this program over the past couple of years. We were part of a larger brand name daycare before we moved here and it not did deliver the way Prep N Play has. Rochelle, Jeff, and everyone at Prep N Play really love my child and take their time with her. She comes home happy every day chattering away about all the activities she did or about all the new things she learned. Our pediatrician is so impressed with how advanced she is for a child her age and I give Rochelle all the credit. The way she structures her Montessori curriculum with life skills application is genius. I am a former public school teacher and I can see how my daughter not only learns the material but can also apply that knowledge. My daughter has also made lasting friendships and is excited to go to school in the morning. This makes my life so much easier. With the brand name daycare she would cry and be upset she had to go. Now, she is happy and cannot wait to see her friends. I am so grateful to Jeff and Rochelle for all they have done for my girl and her little sister will be joining Prep N Play very soon!

I would strongly suggest staying away from this facility at all costs. In the less than one year…read morethat our daughter attended this school, the following occurred. * A teacher instigated an altercation with a parent with absolutely no recourse from school management. * 9/16/22: I witnessed an assistant alone with 8 children, screaming at one child in his face to sit down or she would make him sit down. The "solution" was for this assistant to never be alone with children again and she was "coached". I subsequently witnessed this assistant alone with children again on 9/23/22 and she was ultimately moved to another age group on 9/30/22. One can only assume so that I wouldn't witness her interacting with children alone again. * Marked disorganization and inconsistency within the jellyfish room specifically. * Our daughter was bitten twice. * Our daughter sat in soiled diapers for too long resulting in painful diaper rash, even complaining to her dad on occasion at pick up that her booty hurt and she really needed her diaper changed - something she's never asked for until our time at CCOA. * I've picked her up twice with pus pouring out of her ear that teachers did not notice. * I witnessed a teacher wipe our daughter back to front on several occasions (this did not improve even after I brought it to management's attention). * The jellyfish classroom had two teachers abruptly depart without notice. * Numerous personal items went missing despite being labeled with our daughter's name. * Numerous items that were not our daughter's were sent home with her. This shows the disorganization of the room. * Labeled children's bins in the wrong cubbies with wrong personal items in them. Again, showing the disorganization of the room and of the teachers this school chose to hire. * Unclear and inconsistent instructions for splash pad days leading to miscommunication and frustration. * Very rare (less than once a week) photos of our daughter despite repeated pleas for frequent pictures. * A few months ago, I witnessed a mother drop her infant off with a teacher who was strolling the other infants around in the large multi-baby stroller. The teacher said that she would just hold the baby because the last available seat had a broken seatbelt. When I came back around the corner after dropping our daughter off, the mother was gone and that baby was "strapped" into the broken seat. Unacceptable and dangerous. Again, choose another daycare provider for your children.

It makes me sad to have to write this review but I'm hoping what happened to us at the Children's…read moreCenter of Austin, Westlake doesn't happen to another family. My son attended the Children Center of Austin, Westlake location from mid January to mid April, 2024. He was 6-9 months old while there. Our top priority has always been the safety and well-being of our son, yet incidents underscored our concerns regarding his safety while under the care of CCOA. Our son was diagnosed with severe food allergies and had a few occasions of anaphylactic shock. Luckily never while at daycare but for the third time in a month, our son was placed in a different classroom without us knowing, the substitute teacher was NOT aware of his anaphylactic allergies and did NOT know the location of his Epi-pen. Senior management's response was to keep changing policies with the latest one being that they wanted his Epi-pen to be located outside the classroom, such as at the front desk or office, but there were many occasions when we've arrived and found no one at the front desk or office -- this left us deeply troubled and indicated a sever lack of understanding about the urgency of anaphylactic allergies. Furthermore, the continued misidentification of our son as another kids name by staff members added to our concerns. This oversight continued to reflect a lack of attention to detail. Senior leaderships response was 'we can understand the teachers continued mistake as your son and the other kid do look similar.' The similarities are that our kids both have the same eye color and hair color. There were MANY other smaller issues: sent home wearing other kids diapers and clothes, terrible diaper rash on multiple occasions (even after raising concerns from our doctor to Senior Management), using other kids diaper cream on our kid, photos loaded to the app that were not our child, misrepresentation of what our kid ate listed on the app... the list goes on. We exhausted all avenues in attempting to resolve these issues with Senior Management but unfortunately, issues continued to arise, leaving us with no choice but to prioritize our son's safety above all else and leave. We cannot recommend this school as a safe environment for children. The evident deficiencies in leadership undermine their ability to create a secure and nurturing setting. Until meaningful changes are made at the leadership level, we fear these issues will persist, ultimately impacting the well-being of the children under their care.
