She went on a HUGE tirade against me for asking what restaurants in the area do not allow dine-in but are still doing to-go. She described me as selfish for accommodating my housemates, one of which is very high risk for complications if they catch covid, and the other works at a school where they will not let you work if anyone you have been around shows any signs of sickness, and they would have to get a covid test before they could go back to work. She would not stop attacking me, even after I explained and asked her politely to stop, it was quite disturbing to see, and I would not suggest anyone use her services for any reason. I also noticed that she has a complaint filed against her and her company with the BBB.

Second, I paid for this class for my fiancé and I tried several times to contact the instructor to let her know this class was not for me, called her several times and sent several emails and she never returned my call or answered my emails. She did get my message though as my fiancé said she asked him about it to confirm. Docking a star there as I would have appreciated confirmation straight from her. My fiancé learned a lot and felt the class helped him. The class is small, at 15 or so. The instructor kept the class engaged; she will ask you to participate but she also has videos to accompany her instruction. She keeps you very informed about alternative transportation in the Austin Area should you need some sort of DD.

Heck...even i was confused and challenged by the TAKS weird questions and other assignments. So i reluctantly surrendered and found Lacie Taylor of Taylor-Made Tutoring. And what a great find. Five minutes after meeting Lacie you will feel comfortable with her and her methods. Her warm, calm and encouraging approach to teaching various learning methodologies is something i could never do. And so my daughter took to her lessons immediately, i am happy to say. She has responded very well and the improvements she has made are a great reflection upon Lacie's skills as a teacher. Another benefit to Taylor-Made Tutoring's math program is that they offer an in-home tutoring option where instead of having to drive in and out of Lacie's place of business, she has other tutors on her staff who will come to your home for the lessons. This is a valuable alternative at times. Taylor-Made Tutoring offers tutoring from elementary levels to very high math courses and we will likely be using her summer math camp to really get ahead this year.

We just received her first quarter grades this afternoon - she's in the pre-AP program and has an A average! The best thing about Lacie's program is the emphasis on developing sound study skills. We feel this has benefited our daughter in other academic areas. Thank you, Lacie!!!

Our family has been part of the Stepping Stone School community for nearly a decade, spanning three…read morechildren and multiple campuses, and I can honestly say they have been one of the greatest blessings to our family. My oldest son, Race, first attended Stepping Stone Hyde Park as a baby before transferring to the Wells Branch Parkway campus. Later, my younger son attended both Wells Branch and the Round Rock location. Throughout every transition, we were met with the same thing: caring teachers, strong leadership, consistency, structure, and genuine love for our children. At both Hyde Park and Wells Branch, Ms. Brenda and Ms. Jennifer played a huge role in our boys' lives. They created an environment where our children felt safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. When our family faced difficult seasons, they showed us incredible kindness and flexibility, helping provide stability for our children when we needed it most. At the Round Rock AW Grimes campus, Liz continued that same tradition of excellence. She was always accommodating, compassionate, and deeply invested in the well-being of the children and families she served. Now, years later, I have re-enrolled my daughter Hana at the Hyde Park campus, and I was thrilled to discover that Ms. Brenda is currently serving as interim principal there. When I told my oldest son that Hana would be attending Hyde Park and that Ms. Brenda was her principal, his immediate response was, "Aw, that makes me really happy." That simple comment spoke volumes. Years later, he still remembers the people who cared for him and made him feel loved. The Hyde Park campus has blossomed tremendously since my boys attended. It is clear how much thought, effort, and care have gone into improving the experience for both children and parents. From the moment we enrolled, Ms. Brenda made the process seamless and welcoming. Hana received a personalized Stepping Stone backpack, a teddy bear, and a book as a welcome gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. That teddy bear quickly became one of her favorite possessions. What continues to impress me most is the quality of the people. Hana's teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. You can tell they care deeply about their development, happiness, and well-being. That level of commitment is something that cannot be faked, and it's something I've consistently experienced across every Stepping Stone campus we've attended. I also love the daily photo updates and communication, the STEM-focused curriculum, the outdoor play opportunities, and the summer Splash Days that keep the kids active, engaged, and having fun. The teachers and staff work together as a team, and it shows. Special recognition should also go to educators like Ms. Lisa at Wells Branch and Ms. Olga at AW Grimes, who has dedicated decades of her career to caring for children through Stepping Stone. That kind of longevity speaks volumes about the culture and values of the organization. Finding childcare is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. After experiencing Stepping Stone with three children over many years, I can confidently say that they have consistently exceeded our expectations. The level of care, communication, education, and support they provide is exceptional. They don't just care for children; they help shape them, support families through life's challenges, and create memories that last long after graduation. Thank you to Ms. Brenda, Ms. Jennifer, Liz, Ms. Lisa, and all of the incredible teachers who have loved, taught, and supported our children over the years. Our family is deeply grateful.

They give you, and each child, a workbook full of stories and activities for each week, so no planning is required. And, you're not ever alone - a program coordinator is there each week, along with six or so other volunteers. They've also got the timing down pat - you volunteer for exactly 45 minutes per week, making it possible for me to drive down from work, volunteer, and drive back in a single lunch hour.

And I can confidently say that I only wish I would've done so sooner. My son LOVES it! He thrives getting to interact with the other kids and completes 2-3 activities a day with his teacher Ms. Rochelle which has been so good for him. Not to mention every morning she takes the time to make my son feel comfortable before dropoff so he can transition to the day in a positive way. He has developed a ton of new skills, including counting, sign language, and proper manners and I am so impressed at their ability to teach him. The teachers have been super informative and receptive and are so tentative to my son and his needs. They also get lots of outdoor time which is great for getting energy out and not being pent up inside. Principal Mrs. Devin runs a tight ship and is always involved in the students care and safety but also warm to staff. We love Ms. Trinity and Ms. Lydia who are great helpers to Mrs Devin as well. There's been multiple times where I have been emotional expressing my gratitude to the staff and explaining to others how fortunate we are to have him in such a great spot.
