Thanks to The Learning Experience Staff in Buda for providing excellent care…read more They were extremely warm, responsive, and welcoming us with an empathy They have a curriculum that is followed and emailed. You can check on your kid via phone application which comes super handy, and it is always great to see them smiling. Healthy breakfasts and healthy lunches are provided each day, along with snacks in between. They have a nice playground that the kids love playing on when it is nice outside. Along with the day-to-day activities, they are always doing special things like his first day was a reptile show :) Wednesdays are splash days. Pick-up/Drop-Off is extremely easy I never waited more than a minute. This is especially amazing when you compare it with public schools Pick-up/Drop-Off process We were sad to leave The Learning Experience Buda, but it will be always a great memory. As every parent will want the best for their kid, don't think twice. This is your spot. Tina, Leo, Ms Deleasha , Ms Paris, Ms Hilda, Ms Maddie , Ms Renee , and the names I could not remember;I sincerely thank you all.

The Learning Experience Buda stood by our family through the most devastating chapter of our lives--My daughter's heartbreaking brain cancer journey, which ended a year ago. My daughter's greatest concern was always her little Waverly. She was the BEST MOMMA! TLE wrapped Waverly in love, stability, and unwavering support, helping her feel safe, cherished, and encouraged every step of the way. I have never encountered a school community that radiates such deep compassion, professionalism, and wholehearted dedication to every single child. Waverly has truly flourished because of your nurturing care. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for our family. We will miss you as Waverly continues her journey in Kindergarten--confident, joyful, and well prepared for whatever comes next. With extreme Gratitude and Love to a special school TLE Buda.

Our family loves Your Growing Child! When we were expecting our first child, we looked all over…read moreSouth Austin, and in Hays County to find the daycare that we best fit our family. We chose Your Growing Child over all the other places because the staff was super friendly, they encourage the children to learn new skills and still give them free play. They also allow parents to drop in to see their children and give the parents camera access to check on their children. Other daycares we explored did not give the parents this much visibility. Your Growing Child also has many family activities, such as Thanksgiving celebration and Trunk or Treat. We have been creating so many family memories through this daycare. Finally, the staff truly cares for the children. They take such interest in the children and love getting to know the parents. I have a complete peace of mind sending my child here and it has been a pleasure seeing my toddler flourish at Your Growing Child. We will also be sending our twins here too after maternity leave. We cannot recommend Your Growing Child enough!

My 2 kiddos who attended, love their teachers and I were excited to go each day. I feel so lucky that I have such a great daycare in my community to care for my kids. They genuinely care about my kids, my family and the community and they work to teach these values to our kids.

My 4 year old started stepping stone in March of 2024 when I decided to return to work. It was the…read moreonly daycare with availability I felt comfortable sending him to in the area. When I came to make the initial payment and the director asked if I wanted to meet his teacher I of course said yes. We went outside where the kids played and I was excited to see who he'd be with all day. Mind you, this was to be his first time ever being away from me. His teacher was young, and looked super uninterested in talking. She said hi with what I couldn't even consider a smile, and didn't say much to my son. At drop off his first day the morning teacher didn't say much either. She didn't really offer any assistance when I was trying to leave and my son was visibly scared and upset. This went on for the weeks he was there. I did not like the staff member who hung out with the kids until his teacher showed up. She said good morning and that's about it. Towards the end I think she could tell I was irritated and offered my son things to keep him occupied while I left. My overall feel was these "teachers" don't like being there. I did not like this environment. When The lighthouse opened we made the switch and it was night and day! My son was SO EXCITED for daycare because the staff is AMAZING! I got constant updates, I don't have to ask for his meals to be updated through the day, he was engaged, the teachers are engaged and happier. I would never suggest Stepping stone to anyone.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! We toured several daycares before making our decision and once we toured…read morethis establishment, we knew it was the best one in several ways. Each team member was so polite and knowledgeable. Ms Alice is the sweetest most kind hearted individual. You can truly tell she cares about each and every child there. As a first time mother, she immediately gave the reassurance that I needed to feel comfortable and confident with leaving my baby there. My baby started at just 8 weeks. The gigabyte classroom and all their teachers including Ms Dorthy, Ms Jackie, Ms Kiana, and more, showed so much love toward Jackson immediately. They surprised us with crafts and daily photos. Every day, pick up and drop off was efficient and welcoming. The monthly cost is truly worth it for the value and time that each team member bring day after day. I cannot recommend this place enough. I know Jackson is still growing and may not remember these days but, as his parents, this place and staff will hold a deep place in our heart.

We have loved the move to Sunshine Cottage from our previous daycare!…read more Our daughter is in Ms Lia's class and is so well-cared for -- she gets just the right amount of independence while still being able to socialize with other kids. We are so impressed by the updates we get (the app this school uses updates in real time instead of getting a report at the end of the day like our last place); it has made all the difference in our night routines knowing that she had a tough time taking a nap at 2 instead of figuring it out at home at 630. We also have enjoyed the extras that are at Sunshine Cottage -- huge playgrounds with age appropriate equipment, bikes/trikes to work on motor skills, dress up bins and play areas in the classroom, and (our latest exciting update) a dance class from an outside studio that is sooo affordable!

These folks owner constantly changes staff hours to not pay them the time they work. The children are fed very unhealthy foods, no milk on their menu for over 3 years.

Most have been there many years and have a true love for each child. Starting out in the infant rooms they teach sign language. As the move up kids are learning new stuff daily. My two oldest even learned some Spanish. I get daily updates on what they learning so I can re-enforce that learning at home. Since COVID they have gone above and beyond to take safety precautions to protect students and teachers. I have no fears of leaving my children there. Great and affordable.

We are so grateful to have found a place where we feel completely comfortable and confident sending our son each day.

They are open for long hours which is convenient for trying to balance school and work. The location is incredibly convenient with easy access from South Congress or I-35, Buda, South Austin, etc. They're flexible, recognizing and meeting specific needs of different personalities of the kids. For example on the mornings I have to drop off early for an early class, my daughter cries more, she's tired, and wants human contact. I often see one of the teachers pick her up to comfort her. My daughter is really learning so much there. I'm constantly amazed at how much she knows in terms of vocabulary, songs, motions, and she isn't even 2 yet. It means a lot to me that she is growing up hearing and learning to recognize English and Spanish as well. It seems they're always cooking something up when I get there and it smells great. I know my daughter is eating well there and everything is made with care. The owners even made a delicious brisket and sides from scratch for a Mother's Day luncheon. They're so thoughtful and help with the whole development of my child. I can't say enough good things about them.
