It has been a joy seeing our daughters thrive here and I can't recommend them enough!

My two kids, each at very different stages/ages, have absolutely thrived at The Prep! We have been…read morethere for almost 4 years now--it is the best private preschool / daycare in Bee Cave and even Westlake. Trust me, I have toured them all! I drive all the way to Bee Cave from Westlake because we love it so much! Finding a school around here that supports both a younger and an older child can be challenging, but the Prep truly excels at meeting kids where they are while helping them grow and learn! The balance of play and education is outstanding. Each day, our 4yo comes home excited to share what she did all day! The teachers know how to keep learning fun while still building real skills, and it shows in our kids' confidence and development. The administrative team deserves special praise. They are incredibly organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in every family's experience. Whether it's daily updates, thoughtful check-ins, or seamless handling of schedules and transitions, the admin staff sets the tone for a warm and well-run environment. The school and its amenities is my fave part and why I won't ever leave! Bright, clean, and purposefully designed, the classrooms and play areas create an inviting space where children can explore safely and comfortably. No other school in the area has a tech room, multi-purpose room (gym), cafeteria, SEVERAL Playgrounds, and an amazing splash pad! We're grateful to have found a school that provides such a nurturing, enriching environment for both of our kids. Highly recommend to any family in the Bee Cave area!

I am saddened to write this review, but it may spare other children and parents the physical and…read moremental pain our family has experienced. We have sent all three of our children to the Prep and were one of the first families to sign up when they opened. The past few years have been good overall but the level of care has dropped significantly and my youngest baby was injured several times in a very short period of time. Based on the goodwill they have built over the years with us we continued to give the Prep opportunities to improve and make changes to keep my son safe. They said they would and completely failed. The photos below show the final straw before we removed our baby and another child from the Prep. Unfortunately, there were also other incidents were my child was injured and I was told by Prep management that "they would keep a better eye on him." We are reasonable parents with three children and understand that from time to time one of our kids may get a bump or scratch. The injuries my son suffered however go beyond anything acceptable. We repeatedly asked to speak with the owner, Heather White, but she never contacted us. We also asked to see the video of what happened, but the request went ignored. We filed a police report so hopefully they will have better luck getting the videos. Our feeling at this point is the owner is only in it to open as many locations/franchises as possible and make a buck. Clearly could not care less about responding to parents, oh sorry "paying customers," and even more disturbing could not care less about keeping the babies we are entrusting them with safe. If you are considering the Prep I suggest you instead leave your children with a pack of wild coyotes in the woods--they'll probably be safer...

I just wanted to highlight our experience at Kiddie Academy daycare because it has been nothing…read moreshort of wonderful! Ms Gina has been so on top of things and informative about my little guy's meals. Watching my little guy on the camera, I can see that all the teachers are very interactive with the babies. Myraneh is also such a sweet teacher and makes my little guy feel so loved. I love one day when I was leaving daycare and the assistant director Candace was telling me about how my little Nico and another girl in class have laughing wars and it melted my heart! Lastly, I wanted to mention that Autumn has been so personable and delightful. She is a very sweet director and runs a great program and you can tell based on how many kids attend this daycare! She runs a well-oiled machine and I highly suggest getting into this daycare, especially if you have the chance with a spot!

I'm also enjoying the proximity to our house, so I can get exercise when dropping off and picking up. Throughout this covid pandemic, the teachers (especially Miss Ashley, Miss Megan, and Miss Lindsey) have gone above and beyond to do zoom calls, storytime, and prepare an activity box to help entertain/teach the kids. On the front end, Autumn and Jessica are super friendly, responsive, and efficient as can be. As long as we are here, this is her school!!!

As a prior owner of three preschools, I can tell you first hand you will find no other place like…read moreWonder Well Preschool! I have a wealth of experience owning and even more reviewing and consulting with preschools across Texas and California. So you can imagine how selective I was in finding a place for my 2 year old son. My son is a handful and it is hard to win him over. Not only did he but our family also fell in love with Wonder Well and all it had to offer. The owner and staff go above and beyond to provide not only a safe, but enjoyable family atmosphere. At Wonder Well your child is not just attending preschool, but is at a place that truly cares for your child as a part of the Wonder Well family. The detail that goes into the curriculum and activity planning is like no other. The teachers break everything down and truly get down on the child's level (literally hands and knees most of the time) to help them and grow them in various ways. The creativity and variety of age appropriate activities for learning had my son waking up ready to run off to preschool every morning! The owner is phenomenal and has set up a state of the art facility like no other preschool I have observed. She took the time to develop and create a preschool taking into account all of the small things that matter and make such a difference to the kids and parents. I guarantee you will be 100% satisfied, and this sure the best preschool for your child!

There could never be words to describe how incredible Wonderwell is. Before having children, I used…read moreto think people who cared so much about preschool were silly. But now having two young kids, and knowing the importance of education at this important developmental stage, I know that there really is so much young children need to thrive. Wonderwell is not only the best preschool in Austin, but in the country in my opinion. My son went there for three years and my daughter for a year before we had to move out of state. Leaving this school was the hardest part. My son started when he was 2, he could barely speak and was SO shy. When we left, he was so confident, a true leader, and LOVED school. The teachers, the staff, the other families, are all above and beyond. I couldn't love or recommend Wonderwell more!

They are excited every day to tell me about what they've learned, friends, teachers, art projects, and outside time. My older son has blossomed socially. Where he was once hesitant, through his experience at A New Day, he now has the confidence to approach friends, new and old. My younger son is so proud of his work that he often takes it out of his bag at pick-up time to show me. The school has fun events and learning activities throughout the year. Big hits with my kids included water play days in the summer, growing a garden, planting flowers, new playground equipment, crafts, solar system lessons, and special events for Mother's and Father's Day. The teachers and the owner, Irma, are fantastic. You could not ask for better teacher communication, and Irma even responds on nights and weekends. They send parents lesson plan information and suggest related at-home activities. I love that they use an app to share daily updates and pictures. They've captured some beautiful images of my sons, sometimes together. I don't know how they do it, but the staff has never lost one item sent to school. Finally, the hours for A New Day are better than most schools for working parents.
