We originally chose KidSpring because of the Spanish immersion program, and it absolutely lived up to our expectations. The school has an intimate, attentive environment. Our daughter genuinely loved going to school each morning and was always excited to see her teachers and friends. She made friendships that have continued beyond the classroom through playdates, and we've watched her grow tremendously in her independence, sharing, and Spanish language skills. The teachers truly make this place special. Paola, in the baby room, is one of those rare people who is simply meant to work with children. Our daughter immediately bonded with her, looked for her every morning at drop-off, and learned to say her name very quickly. It was so reassuring knowing your child is excited to see their caregiver each day, and Paola gave us that confidence from the very beginning. When she graduated to the toddler classroom, Miriam has been equally wonderful. She is incredibly engaged with the children, and it was obvious from the start that our daughter connected with her. We've loved watching her come home counting in Spanish and enthusiastically trying to sing the ABCs, which is something we know was nurtured through Miriam's encouragement and teaching. Communication with the staff was consistently excellent, and we always felt informed about our daughter's day. We loved our time at Kidspring, and would definitely reenroll!

They give preschoolers these cute BH backpacks and it's adorable. The teacher turn over has been low and many teachers have been there far longer than either of my kids have. My middle daughter started there 7+ years ago. They actually have four different play areas and inside gym and movement room. They also do a cool water sprinkler fun time during hot months. They have a huge unicorn sprinkler that the kids love. It's really sweet.

My toddler has never been anything but excited to go to school. Also, I'm convinced they are largely responsible for our potty training success! It's such a human, homey place. You can't want more from your kids day care. Shout out to Ms Carina, Ms Heidi, Ms Crystl, Ms Alex and Ms Jewel for making every school day a blast for the guy I love most.

Megan is a wonderful administrator and knows every kid by name. My first son started around 14 months and went all the way through the pre-k class which really helped him be prepared for Kindergarten. My youngest son started at 5 months old and I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Diane and Ms. Karen. They are both the sweetest people and you can tell they love the children they take care of. Dropping your child off at daycare can be scary at any age but when they are so little it's even harder. You just have to hope you can trust the people taking care of them. Diane and Karen went above and beyond in that manner. So much so that my son would often reach for them at drop off and even when I came to pick him up he'd reach back for them. They are the best!

I toured multiple places around Austin, and none of them fit the bill. They were either too expensive for the "value" they provided, the location was unsafe, or the teachers seemed to not give two s**** about your child. When we toured ABCDee, both my partner and I left teary eyed, we felt such a huge relief feeling confident about where we were sending her everyday. Now, a year later and it wasn't a honeymoon phase. Every classroom, every teacher, all the staff (especially Ms. Maria - home cooked meals and snacks EVERYDAY), have exceeded our expectations. We had the sad thought today of "but what about when she has to go to elementary school", we don't want her to leave!!! Knowing that your child is loved and cared for when they can't be with you is a gift we would pay any price for. Alison and Connie run a great school. Thank you for all that you do!! We love y'all.

With as many kids enrolled at ABCDee it is a wonder that all the staff can name every single child! My nephew is always excited to go back the next day to see all the other kids and staff. If you have dealt with daycares before you know how difficult it can be to find one that you can trust, where the staff not only loves the kids but loves their jobs and truly cares for the families enrolled. I can't wait to have my own babies attend. I 100% recommend this facility to anyone! Thank you ABCDee for taking care of and loving my nephew so much, you will always hold a special place in my family's hearts.

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 can't recommend Rising Stars Daycare enough!

They truly treat every child like family, and it shows in everything they do. Our children have learned so much during their time here, including a second language. Every day they came home excited to tell us what they learned, and we've seen tremendous growth in their numbers, ABCs, communication, and overall confidence. Leaving is bittersweet as our son heads off to kindergarten, but we're so grateful for the strong foundation Rising Stars has given him. Knowing he was in a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment gave us so much peace of mind. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be genuinely loved, supported, and prepared for the future, we wholeheartedly recommend Rising Stars Daycare. Thank you to the entire staff for everything you've done for our family!
