When I met with a teacher for some concerns with my 3 year old, the staff listened closely to how they can incorporate what we're doing at home, as well as offered helpful suggestions for changes we can take back from the classroom. Everyone treats us like members of their family. It's a long commute from our neighborhood but we make it happily, knowing our babies are loved and well cared for.

This is a wonderful preschool / mother's day out program. Both of my children (ages 3 and 5)…read morestarted here at age 18 months. The teachers are wonderful and caring (most are mothers of children attending the program) and the curriculum is fun and engaging. The class size is small so each child gets the attention you would want them to have. Every time I dropped off my kids, they were each lovingly welcomed by their teacher. I always left feeling my kids were going to safe and that they were going to have fun. When I picked them up, this was always the case. The building is old but there are plans for improvements and upgrades. Please don't discount this program because of the site or location. It is a wonderful place for your children. We have since moved out of Austin and use our experience with St. Mark's as a standard while looking for a new preschool.

My son has been attending St. Mark's for about a year - he started at 18 months and has really…read moreenjoyed his time so far with the toddler class. He is absolutely in love with Ms. Bonny and Ms. Suzanne (I'm sure he will miss them next year!) and always comes home with new words, phrases, a joyous smile - and ready for nap time :) The facilities are clean and there are lots of activities to keep him occupied (plus a really great playground out back). There are lots of opportunities to get involved if you want - monthly events for kids/parents, lectures from parenting experts, Mother's Day breakfast, etc. but these are also entirely optional. Like many of the parents, we are not part of the church or any religious community but have never felt that this was an issue in any way (as one other reviewer also noted). At the end of the year, we received a beautiful photo album with photos and artwork from throughout the year; it was so touching to know that they had collected these moments/memories with this final project in mind and I think is symbolic of how children and parents are treated here. I know my son is not only well taken care of but also cherished as a little human being and am so grateful for the wonderful staff who make him feel loved. I found the place thanks to Yelp and noticed there are not a lot of recent reviews so here I am - if you're lucky enough to get a spot here, don't hesitate to enroll!

We moved our son to child craft and were a little hesitant at first with the price being significantly lower than the previous and just not appearing quite as new or fresh I could say.

He isn't nearly as aggressive at home as he was with the other school and has learning to communicate better and follow direction better and he just loves the playground so much too and they do full on potty training too so the months of stalled potty training at his last school and two months of being at this one and at home training he is almost 100% trained aside from nighttime.

My daughter started at Twin Oak Montessori School when she was 3 years and 10 months old and has…read morenow graduated at 5 years old. Our family moved to the US from another country, and her English level was very basic. I was worried about her adaptation without knowing the language. I'm so happy that I found Twin Oak because, over this period, she has quickly become fluent in English, made many friends, and looks forward to coming to school every day. The wonderful people from the school helped my daughter adapt to a new culture so easily. All the teachers, especially Miss Chuti and Miss Alina, have been incredibly kind and friendly to Nika. They really love children, and this is incredibly valuable to me. My heart always swells with happiness when I see my daughter smiling and happy after school. I love the educational program, which includes many topics such as science, math, new vocabulary, creative projects, and physical exercises like bicycling, splash days, and dance. Additionally, I appreciate how they support parents and lift my mood every morning when I drop off my kids. I'm so grateful to the Team! Sofia, mom of Nika

They may be more traditional (no screens, no digital communication), but I actually enjoy that. I don't need photos of her everyday. I can tell she's learning and engaged by the things she tells and shows us at home and how happy she is to see her teachers and friends each day at drop-off. I appreciate that the teachers are spending their time with my child actually teaching and guiding. My daughter knows her numbers, colors, shapes - even a song that names all the planets. She gets exposed to foreign languages (Spanish, French, Japanese, ASL), music, yoga, other cultures and countries, and so much more. There are some older reviews that mention coloring sheets, but we haven't experienced that. One of the teachers who has been there for roughly 2 years is an artist herself and helps the children with a guided (every child makes their version of the same image) or self-expressive (every child creates what they would like) each week. We even have some framed up in our child's room. I highly recommend Twin Oaks.

My daughter has been coming to Bright Kids Child Development Center since she was 6 weeks old, and…read moreI couldn't have asked for a better place for my baby. As a first-time mom, I was extremely cautious about who I trusted to watch her, so having that feeling of safety with the school meant a lot to me. The center is a small, family-owned place, and the staff is amazing and very loving toward the children. My daughter is about to turn three and loves coming every day. She has flourished throughout the years of being here. She can count, knows her colors, and is a social little butterfly. I can't be more thankful to the teachers who have my daughter daily and help her grow. Bright Kids has been a wonderful environment for her development, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and safe place for their child.

My second child started as a newborn and my oldest child is now involved in after school... he was well prepared for Kinder; both kids amaze me with the things they learn and say! TLE has a great app to keep parents informed and send pictures. The teachers and staff are fun, friendly and attentive and the owner and management team (Erin and Jannifer) are absolutely amazing! They have handled the Covid-era very well and kept our children healthy and safe. I love their curriculum, the Make Believe Boulevard play room, outside play areas and that TLE includes the extracurricular activities on a rotation versus bringing in outside vendors that you have to pay extra for or feel guilty not signing up for. Super cute school and amazing staff... thank you for all you do TLE!!

My fiancé and I paid The Learning experience as a private preschool for our African American 4…read moreyear old son, at the time the only African American student enrolled full time. What we received from day one was antagonizing, harassing discriminatory treatment from Erin director and owner with constant threats to kick our son out. 3, 2, 1, the branding and numbers on the front of the building, is the disciplinary action steps The Learning Center uses to push out a child before after accepting payments. 1 send the child Home for a day, 2 send the child home for 2 days, 3 ask the parent to take the child somewhere else. Before enrolling we were told this center was a private preschool it is not. I was made to complete more than 20 forms specifying my child's allergies etc that weren't followed. I put it in writing that we don't give our son cookies or sweets and received pictures this wasn't the case etc. For days in a row after paying $125 for an enrollment fee and $1125 for the month. Erin the owner would call us and ask that we come and pick up our son an hour after dropping him off for seemingly nothing at all. She also lied multiple times. The cameras in the center do not work to record only as a live feed for center owners husband to watch from home (what is this about). Day two of my child being at the day care I was called by Erin and told my son was behaving uncharacteristically and I needed to come get him at 9am in the morning roughly an hour after dropping him off. I was told my son was up walking around during story time touching toys and didn't return to his seat. Instead of getting 8 hours of day care on this day I got one. I explained that my son was in a Montessori for 2 years and I never had problems, and had been home with me during Pandemic. My fiancé and I decided this center would not be best for our child and we privately searched for another school to put him in. At this point in the final days I would ask teachers in heavily overly populated classes (1 teacher/ 20+ students) how my son behaved? I would get good reports and literally while turning the corner to leave the building be pulled into the front office every single day and told things perceived to be bad by Erin some examples include my son knocked blocks over, my son knocked over dolls from a chair, my son wouldn't share a toy he played with another student. While I paid for day care services, one day I came to the day care and sat and watched my own son for about two hours during which two white students sat at a table one with a sharp pencil in his hand pretending to stab another student in the eye. I pointed this out to myself and nothing was done but my son constantly was sent home. The heartbreak of it all is my 4 year has no clue why he was asked to leave the school every other day and keeps asking to go to school. I do not recommend this place, it's sad that as a mother I was dragged into the office with the centers owner daily to talk about stuff four year old boys do for hours at a time. Your son we to the bathroom multiple times, your son grabbed a toy from a shelf during center time please pick him up. My sons self esteem took multiple hits during an attempt at a four year old character assassination. Now thankful that I recorded audio telephone calls and videos of my interactions.
