I have three sons -- 9 year old identical twins and a 13 year old. My twins grew up at Academy for…read moreCreative Learning, attending there from the time they turned two until they started kindergarten. My oldest son attended the ACL school age program during Christmas break and summer for three years. I cannot say enough good things about ACL -- our family has many very sweet memories of our time there. One of the features that distinguishes ACL from other child care facilities is that the owner pays her employees well and there is very little turn over there. The teachers (God bless them) work there because they love kids and they have the patience of saints (if my life depended on it I don't think I could manage even a day in charge of a classroom full of two year olds, but these ladies make it look easy and fun). Each teacher that we came into contact with took the time to really get to know my boys -- even though my twins look exactly alike, they were always treated like the individuals that they are. When they were three, one of my sons needed some medical tests in Dallas and I was stunned when his teacher spent the weekend driving all over town to find him a stuffed bulldog (his favorite animal at the time) to cuddle with during his test. During the year my boys were in the pre-K room our family went through a divorce and the teachers were such a big help in providing my boys the stability and TLC that they needed through that difficult transition. The hair salon was a great feature -- all you have to do is leave payment at the front desk in the morning and when you pick up your child at the end of the day they have a fantastic hair cut. The swimming pool was great too -- the daily time in the pool during the summer time went a long way toward my boys developing a love for water. The summer school age camp was super -- every day was filled with field trips, fun crafts, time in the pool and games. My boys still reminisce about summers at ACL -- especially the weekly visits from the snow cone truck. As far as I'm concerned, the only downside of ACL is that the food is kind of junky -- white bread, juice drinks, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and processed cheese are all featured prominently on the menu. I did find, however, that the staff was good about abiding by my request that my boys be served the healthier options and given water instead of juice drinks. The bottom line is that I recommend ACL wholeheartedly.

In my opinion, there could have been more ride operators. Even though some of the rides were running, we had to wait for operators to run another ride, then switch to the one my kid wanted to ride. The train was cute. It smelled like gas exhaust the whole way, but it has a nice big track, and they take them around twice. The putt putt could have used a bit of shade on the yellow course, but it was nice that there were 3 courses. Too bad everyone wanted to play the shady course, so we all had to wait for big parties to finish between holes. This park could use some updating but it's great for small children.

The first time we realized things might not be as they seemed was when one granddaughter moved so we picked up her horse. The horse had pinworms and had literally lost all of the hair on his tail. Liz informed us she had brain surgery and was recovering from Covid. So of course we understood that she got a little behind. Then our other granddaughter moved but wasn't able to take her horse for approximately 4 months. We paid Liz for everything she said the horse needed. We had Zeus picked up by a friend and we were shocked upon seeing him and his condition. He obviously hasn't been being fed. He looks like he came from a kill pen. He was a gorgeous healthy horse when he was brought to Liz's facility. Shame on her for taking our money and promising us he was being well cared for then letting our dear sweet Zeus starve. Don't trust this woman.

As the only jumping barn available near Baylor/Waco, I was eager to ride at Hidden Branch while at…read moreschool. Abbie and Hidden Branch have been very accommodating and provided many opportunities to ride and learn ! Abbie is very flexible on timing, and helps me find a group lesson every week, which is a little cheaper, as I'm a college student. She is a very positive trainer who is able to communicate effectively how to improve your riding. She pushes you to improve, but also is very understanding of the Texas heat and that with only riding once a week I'm not in as good of shape as I would like to be, so we get plenty of walk breaks and chats. The horses are all in great shape, and because of the low cost and vet on site I've been very tempted to try and get a horse myself, especially after seeing how both Abbie and Julie take such great care of all the horses. The horses are all happy and I've seen them galloping and playing in the fields on numerous occasions. Abbie's horses I've ridden are all such good characters and practically bomb proof. I would recommend Hidden Branch to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere to board or to lesson, while still trying to improve their ability.
