My bi-racial daughter has had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS from these people since she enrolled my 1-year-old grandson there. One of the owners told her to change her drop off/pick up times because the "State only allows children to be in attendance at daycares for so many hours/day" - LIE! She has never been late on her payments! On August 27, 2018, while making her weekly payment, she was told by the male owner (presumably "Mr. Ed") that beginning in September, her childcare payments would be $20 less because my grandson would be 18 months old. When she went to pay on September 4, 2018, she was told by the female owner that he was incorrect since Chris wouldn't be 18 months old until the 12th. My response? OH WELL! This morning, my daughter dropped my grandson off on her way to work. The lady asked if she was paying today, she responded that she'd have to pay Thursday w/a late fee when she got paid. She then left, got in her car--AND THIS MAN ACTUALLY RAN AFTER HER BEHIND HER CAR! Garland Police were then called--they were just as disgusted & shocked as we were. I met my daughter up there (in case of any "smoke") & we took Chris home. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST THESE RACIST-A** PEOPLE & THEIR OWNERS. The teachers RAVE about Chris, how well behaved he is. He's ALWAYS clean when we drop him off, but dirty, thirsty & STARVING when we pick him up. His face was COVERED in bug bites the first 2 weeks he was there & they had no explaination. I saw in another review that they reportedly had BED BUGS. I will be posting this NEGATIVE REVIEW on every forum I can find on this place & I hope you're SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD. Ya'll picked THE RIGHT ONE this time! read more

We LOVE the Barn. We have two children there currently - our youngest started in the infant room and our older started in toddlers. We left a local Montessori program to enroll at the Barn and could not be happier. As a parent who has been disappointed by a program in the past, here are a few things that set the Barn apart: - From infants and all the way up, the Barn is filled with caregivers and teachers who truly care. My children go to school and feel loved - that is so apparent from their smiling faces at pick up. - In addition, the teachers and caregivers are all incredibly competent and seem to really love what they do. The teacher turn over has been minimal (which is a testament to the great environment at the Barn). - The facility itself is decorated super fun, which continues to excite my kids. The environment lends itself to fun learning. - The curriculum is wonderful - my two year old can count to 20+, knows his ABCs, can mostly spell his name, and has prayers memorized, among other things. - The director is a gem - you really can't find a more knowledgeable and caring person. - There are SO many activities. My kids have participated in puppet shows, parades, plays, petting zoos...the list goes on and on and on. - The communication is really wonderful. From text messages, to pictures, to phone calls, I always feel informed about how the kids are doing. Finding a good and caring program is hard, especially when you have multiple children with different personalities and needs, but we feel so lucky to have a place at the Barn! read more

We've been with the school for over 2 years now , and we have older kids and have experience with other daycare centers in our parenting life . I enjoy by the Barnyard gate not only for their Christian Focus , but also their staff and teachers are always very kind and you can tell that they have a genuine love for the children . I wouldn't be surprised if every teacher in the school knew my kids' names , even though they're definitely not the primary caretakers of my children. I have a two-year-old and I'm very impressed with what he's been able to learn at the Barnyard . He is able to keep up in some aspects like counting with my five year old, he's learned to be polite and say thank you and he enjoys going every morning . We've not yet experienced the older child care , but my 5-year-old is going to attend for the summer and I'm sure that it's just as good for the for the older kids as it is for the little ones . We had an option of two schools that we had kids in when we had my 1-year-old , and we chose barnyard because we enjoyed the environment and we were impressed with how they were doing with my one year old . read more

By the Barnyard Gate is the place for us! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this is a special place. The staff is not only professional but also genuinely caring and attentive. They create a nurturing environment that my kiddos love. The facility itself is bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed with engaging activities that stimulate learning and creativity. My child look forward to going to the Barnyard everyday. Communication with parents is excellent through the Remind app. I appreciate the regular updates and detailed reports on my child's day, which helps me stay connected with their experiences. Overall, By the Barnyard Gate has exceeded our expectations in every way. It's a place where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in a secure and loving environment. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a daycare that prioritizes Christianity, education and emotional well-being. read more

Our daughter is 4 years old and has been going here since she was 2. We were in a crunch for finding childcare when we moved here and went with the first place we could find that had availability. By THE BARYARD GATE is the best choice ever! As a parent, it can be hard to trust just anyone with your child and we couldn't ask for better caretakers for our child. They love her and treat her as their own and every night she never stops talking about them and every morning she wakes up super excited to go to "school" because she wants to see her teachers(Mr. E, Ms. Janice Ms. Amanda...) and friends. Their communication is fabulous and are always there to help with any questions you may have. We highly recommend this place. read more

Barnyard has been a great place for both of my kids! My daughter started recently & my son has been enrolled for about 3 years. The front office staff is great about communicating updates & always has time to answer questions. The teachers are friendly and seem to really care about the kids. There are several teachers that my son had in his early years that are now teaching my daughter! We appreciate the Christian curriculum & with reinforcement at home, my son has learned quite a few Bible verses! Weekly tuition is fairly priced for the area, & even if it had been the most expensive option (spoiler: it wasn't), we still would have chosen the Barn! We're still happy with the choice we made! read more

Both of my children are enrolled here and have really excelled in every way over the past 2 years. My eldest is a Covid baby & I was afraid he wouldn't know how to interact with other children and to my relief and delight, he has made friends. My youngest started here at 8 months and has moved on up through the age groups. The teachers are transparent and keep us parents informed. They have done so much in regards to potty training, vocabulary, prayers and overall well being. The teachers and staff know my children so well and treat them so lovingly. My husband and I consider them our village. read more

We have had the BEST experience with By the Barnyard Gate (Sachse location). My 2 year old twins stayed home for 2 years and so I was very nervous to put them in a preschool. I went and toured just about every preschool in a 15 mile radius. As soon as we stepped foot in this center, I fell in love!! It was so homey and everyone was smiling. My girls now wake up every single morning ready to go to "school" and they light up when they see their teachers. They have already learned SO SO SO much while also getting to play and be a toddler. I am so beyond pleased with our experience here so far. read more

This is a great school if you like the idea of your child developing the necessary skills to carry them through life. They also excel at teaching your child survival skills in their patented "Lord of the Flies" style classrooms of 30+. I especially loved the way my son learned to increase his MMA and UFC fighting skills while thrust into a world of open ended scenarios of bites, cuts, and bruises on an almost daily basis. In closing, survival instincts and self defense is an over looked but necessary skill to teach young developing minds. I applaud this place at their dedication. read more

We have been coming here since my 3 year old was 5 months old. We now have our daughter who is 8 months there too! We absolutely love it!! The front office is amazing! Brandy, Lori, and Katie are always looking after my kids and truly feel like family. We are so lucky to be a part of the Barnyard family. My kids love it there! Barnyard does so many fun events too for family to go visit and they know how to make dinner fun with splash days and they go all out for the holidays. We love Barnyard and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. You won't regret checking them out!! read more

Having 4 kids we have gone through a few different daycares in the last 20 years and By the Barn Yard Gate is by far the most honest trustworthy and caring Christian atmosphere our kids have ever been in! We are proud to have them as our families child care facility and wouldn't trust anyone else with our children! They are family to us Bev they treat us that way and treat everyone who has walked in the door with the same treatment! Thank you Barn Yard for loving our babies! read more

I was super nervous moving my kids from the only childcare they had known, which I loved. But they by far exceeded my expectations. My kids attended daycare here until they were school aged, and now they go after school for after school care. The staff is amazing, the building is extremely clean, and I have zero complaints. They love my babies, and take the best care of them! I truly love by the barnyard gate, and truly consider them all family! read more

Wonderful daycare and *affordable* on a teacher's salary. More importantly my children love it and look forward to their after school care. Whenever I pick them up, they are engaed in a variety of activities and not just plopped in front of a TV (in fact the only TV time I see is dance time). My youngest also attended their jumpstart pre-K and he was well prepared for public Kindergarten, both socially and academically. Highly recommend read more

My daughter has been going to the Barn for almost 3 years and it has been amazing. It was the first daycare she went to and I was so nervous, but they have been beyond great. The cleanliness, attention to detail, curriculum, genuine care and love for her, and safety is unmatched. I cannot say enough about the staff, the company overall, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a safe loving place for their kids. read more

We started attending The Barn in 2020, the middle of Covid craziness. I can not say enough great things about the school. Teachers, curriculum, cleanliness, the activities planned, and communication have always been great. I love that we have so many events, allowing families to be involved as much as possible. I couldn't ask for a better place to have prepared my kiddos for "big school"! read more

Very great help with the kids. They have so much fun and never want to go back home ! It's enchanting to have this as my safe space for my children. Would definitely recommend. Lovely people, amazing attitude, great values. Love love love this place !! Jenesi Torres is the lovely lady that helps me out and is extremely polite and good with the kids. Super respectful. Love her ! read more

My 2 year old daughter has been at Barnyard since she was 9 mos old. We switched over from a neighboring daycare bc I wasnt happy with the quality of care and the constant teacher turnover. I have been so happy with her teachers and she is thriving here! I love that there isnt a high turnover with the teachers & the quality of care and learning activities in unmatched. read more

This school is amazing! All of the teachers do a great job! Our children have been going there since they were babies and I have never looked back. Walking in the door EVERYONE is always in an upbeat mode and happy to see your children. They are willing to help out when the community needs it the most. Great place to start your little ones in early childhood learning. read more

This school is simply amazing. We've been taking our daughter since she was 6 months old. It's not simply a day care, they really learn things. The school is always clean and the class rooms are very large and spacious. The staff is amazing and they love the kids as their own. We have to give a shout out to Ms. Caroline in the infant class. My daughter loves her!!! read more
