Knowing exactly what my child would be doing throughout the day put my mind at ease. What they do here WORKS. Their strict guidelines had my son potty trained in one weekend before he turned three. They show these children love, and respect. My son loves going to their preschool class. What he's learning amazes me every day. From sign language, to Spanish - things I wouldn't even think to be teaching him he comes home boasting with pride on what he learned. We couldn't be happier with decision to send our son here.

As my daughter's momma and Grandmother to TLE's recent graduate, Waverly my heart continues to be…read morewarmed by the love and care you've always shown us. The Learning Experience Buda stood by our family through the most devastating chapter of our lives--My daughter's heartbreaking brain cancer journey, which ended a year ago. My daughter's greatest concern was always her little Waverly. She was the BEST MOMMA! TLE wrapped Waverly in love, stability, and unwavering support, helping her feel safe, cherished, and encouraged every step of the way. I have never encountered a school community that radiates such deep compassion, professionalism, and wholehearted dedication to every single child. Waverly has truly flourished because of your nurturing care. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for our family. We will miss you as Waverly continues her journey in Kindergarten--confident, joyful, and well prepared for whatever comes next. With extreme Gratitude and Love to a special school TLE Buda.

You can check on your kid via phone application which comes super handy, and it is always great to see them smiling. Healthy breakfasts and healthy lunches are provided each day, along with snacks in between. They have a nice playground that the kids love playing on when it is nice outside. Along with the day-to-day activities, they are always doing special things like his first day was a reptile show :) Wednesdays are splash days. Pick-up/Drop-Off is extremely easy I never waited more than a minute. This is especially amazing when you compare it with public schools Pick-up/Drop-Off process We were sad to leave The Learning Experience Buda, but it will be always a great memory.

After 2.5 years at Ladybird Montessori, it's clear that the "perfect" farm image hides a chaotic…read morereality. The school prioritizes enrollment numbers over child safety and quality education. We experienced extreme instability, with at least 10 teacher turnovers in our classroom alone. Without lead teachers, the environment lacked structure, leading to incidents of teacher's yelling and writing up excessive incident reports. Major Safety & Management Red Flags: * Severe Negligence: My child was left outside alone and was banging on the door to come back in (documented with the state) and was left in a bathroom with an unauthorized adult without staff realizing she had left her group. * Unstructured Aftercare: Most incidents occurred during the 60-kid aftercare "nightmare," which lacks any meaningful supervision. * Financial Gatekeeping: The school often holds children back in YCC (Toddler) longer than necessary just to collect higher fees, regardless of whether the child has mastered the curriculum. * Exclusionary Practices: Extracurriculars like soccer are restricted by age (4+), effectively excluding half of the mixed-age Children's House (2.5-6) classrooms. * Retaliation: Be prepared for your child's hours to be cut to half-days as a way to slowly push you out. Communication is a "secret" here; I never received enough communication or updates on my child's progress. Enough was enough. If you raise any concerns, the director deflects blame onto the child. Please check the state's licensing website for their violation history. Your child deserves a safe, attentive environment--not just to be a number in a crowded room. Disabling Google reviews to limit transparency is a clear indicator of the issues present here.

He did get a cold the first week, but hey... that's just the reality of every daycare location with lots of different kids, germs, etc. I love how convenient the location is for us. BBB is literally at the entrance of our neighborhood which is perfect. I also love how its a small local facility but they are very educationally focused for kids of all ages.

The communication through the Bright Wheel app is wonderful. You receive updates throughout the day, and there is quick communication if your child has a need. Jennifer and Diana also ensure that you feel heard and that your child is well-cared for each and every day. I really respect that they are so present at Sunshine - they are the first "good morning" you have each day and truly know your child from being hands-on in classrooms. Highly recommend attending Sunshine Cottage for your littles!

We are so impressed by the updates we get (the app this school uses updates in real time instead of getting a report at the end of the day like our last place); it has made all the difference in our night routines knowing that she had a tough time taking a nap at 2 instead of figuring it out at home at 630. We also have enjoyed the extras that are at Sunshine Cottage -- huge playgrounds with age appropriate equipment, bikes/trikes to work on motor skills, dress up bins and play areas in the classroom, and (our latest exciting update) a dance class from an outside studio that is sooo affordable!

I've had my son at All Stars Academy for a whole school year now. I cannot say enough good things…read moreabout ASA and the owner and head teacher Lori. She has nearly 25 years experience teaching preschool children, and it is evident. I don't know how she has so much energy, but she is always smiling and excited to see the children. The director and other teachers are also wonderful. They love these kids and know how to show it. The school is run with an underlying Christian theme, such as "God made you, and he loves you very much." But attending students have various religious backgrounds. They love like Jesus, but leave the preaching to the parents. One thing I was looking for in a preschool was a good balance between academic learning and play. ASA hits the nail on the head. They present units of learning such as space, winter, farms, etc. on a level the children can understand. They study letter names and sounds, numbers, counting, adding by counting, colors, a little sign language, a little spanish, and do lots of accompanying crafts. The class is a mix of kids ages 3-5 (up to pre-k year). You might think the curriculum would either be too challenging for the littles or too easy for the bigger kids, but Lori and her staff do an amazing job of differentiating the curriculum. For those who Lori is preparing for kindergarten, she gives handwriting worksheets, but my son only did those if he wanted to because he still has another year before kindergarten. In February, Lori takes each pre-k kid aside to assess their reading levels and begins an individualized reading program. Each child is encouraged to take an on-level book home for practice. Lori is very encouraging, but not pushy because she recognizes that kids learn to read at all different paces. One of the most appealing things about ASA is their flexibility of hours. They have a regular program M-F 9am-1pm, but you may choose any combination of days. Extended hours are also available upon request. What other school does that? My son only goes 3 days a week, but if I need to add another day one week, I just pay a little extra for it then. Last couple of notes: The classroom is very bright and full of activities for free play. They go on parent-chaperoned field trips to places like the zoo, Crowe's Nest Farm, and a pumpkin patch. There are several parties and special events throughout the year, in addition to two formal performances.

When I came to make the initial payment and the director asked if I wanted to meet his teacher I of course said yes. We went outside where the kids played and I was excited to see who he'd be with all day. Mind you, this was to be his first time ever being away from me. His teacher was young, and looked super uninterested in talking. She said hi with what I couldn't even consider a smile, and didn't say much to my son. At drop off his first day the morning teacher didn't say much either. She didn't really offer any assistance when I was trying to leave and my son was visibly scared and upset. This went on for the weeks he was there. I did not like the staff member who hung out with the kids until his teacher showed up. She said good morning and that's about it. Towards the end I think she could tell I was irritated and offered my son things to keep him occupied while I left. My overall feel was these "teachers" don't like being there. I did not like this environment. When The lighthouse opened we made the switch and it was night and day! My son was SO EXCITED for daycare because the staff is AMAZING! I got constant updates, I don't have to ask for his meals to be updated through the day, he was engaged, the teachers are engaged and happier. I would never suggest Stepping stone to anyone.
