From the very beginning, it's been clear…read morethat the teachers truly love and care for each child--there's nothing more reassuring than walking in and seeing your baby truly happy, playing, learning, being held, comforted, and known so deeply. What makes this school exceptional is the magic the teachers create every day. They don't just care for the kids--they create an environment full of wonder, curiosity, and joy that helps them grow and explore the world around them. As our son has gotten older, we've watched him hit milestones with confidence, learn new things at an incredible pace, and become genuinely excited to go to school each day. The leadership and staff have created something really special here. It's a place where children are nurtured, celebrated, and inspired--and we feel so lucky to be part of it.

I feel so lucky to have found CCP through word of mouth, and both my son and daughter adore the staff, teachers, and friends there. Having previously never done any sort of child care program, I was super nervous when my daughter started at 15 months (former helicopter mama here). Their approach to education, support, and providing my little ones with a loving environment is what sets them apart from any other child care facility I've found. We've been attending since 2019 and returned in 2021, and truly could not be happier. Thank you Casey and team for being so wonderful!

My son wasn't speaking too much before starting school but after his first year he was speaking full and complete sentences and writing. The teachers there are amazing! They all either had their own kids go through FFP or have taught there for 10+ years. Everyone just seems to be one big family there. My son is now onto kindergarten and my daughter will start her first year there come August. I have nothing but nice things to say about FFP and the wonderful people there.

First Foundations served as our family's first experience with preschool, and for that we are so…read moreextremely thankful. Our shy little daughter just blossomed at this school, to the extent that our friends and extended family remarked on the change in her confidence and demeanor. I'm admittedly a pretty anxious mama bear and I am still, a year later, so shocked at how seamless the adjustment to going to preschool felt for both my daughter and for myself. There were no tears from my little one when I dropped her off, but on more than one occasion she was adamant that she didn't want to leave the school when I picked her up. I could write paragraph upon paragraph, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet because I know firsthand how much energy it takes to search for that perfect fit. Here are some of the aspects that stood out to me! - The whole entire staff here is so wonderful. The director, Mrs. Wilkins, truly pours her heart into her school. She knows and loves each child and greets them by name. She also personally ran my daughter's lunch box/jacket/show and tell item down to her classroom on the more than one occasion that I completely forgot those items in a sleep deprived haze. Our daughter's teachers, Mrs. Gamoneda and Mrs. Pallota, were so kind and loving. Our kiddo can be stubborn, and she started the school year insisting that she didn't want finger paint on her hands. Mrs. G and Mrs. P worked with her, encouraging but never pushing (they even asked my husband and myself if there was any sort of alternative glue or paint she might find more tolerable), and our daughter was beaming with pride when she presented us with a finger painted keepsake a few weeks later. I said I'd keep this short, so bullet points for the rest. - All of the teachers are very qualified. - The school is clean and the teachers had the children wash their hands several times every day even in a pre-coronavirus world. - There are all sorts of fun theme days, class parties and a Christmas program. - This was my daughter's takeaway from our initial tour - two playgrounds! Here is my takeaway - two safe, age appropriate playgrounds that are fenced in. - In addition to the classroom, the children attend Chapel, Spanish and music class (we had the opportunity to observe a bit of the music class on our tour, and the kids were having so much fun). - A perfect combination of play based learning and learning skills that will be needed in kindergarten (our 4 y/o is now able to write her name but she had a lot of fun at school too) - The teachers incorporate super cool activities (a volcano, a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly, a classroom full of tents, reading Biblical stories via blacklight) into their daily lesson plans. - The school is safety minded. This was huge for me. - If you have a baby on your hip, everyone will help you. :) There is a wonderful drop off program, actually, in which teachers are in charge of getting kids from your car. It's very safe and coordinated well. - The school has a bridge program and a kindergarten program. This is actually how I learned about First Foundations. It's seriously the best school, and the only thing I would ever change about it is that I wish our kids could attend for a couple more years.

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.

Class sizes are small and every teacher there knows my children, even if they were not their specific teacher, which makes me feel like we are a part of a family. Facility is always clean, bright and comfortable. The staff are always smiling and genuinely happy to see the kids. They are open and willing to accommodate to my children's dietary needs and allow cloth diapering. My daughter attended for 4 years and loved every minute. She wanted to get there early and stay late every day. She is currently 9 years old and going into 4th grade. She is a TAG student and does well in all her classes. My son is 4 and is a current student. He loves his teachers and comes home everyday with proud stories of what he learned and the fun time he had with his teachers and friends. He comes home saying new Spanish words every week and seems to be understanding more and more since he first started 2 years ago. All of the achievements and happiness that my children have experienced while at the Ivy International School is because of the knowledgable and warm hearts of the staff which pours down from the top. Esmeralda, the director, always has a smile on her face to greet the children when they arrive. She clearly communicates upcoming deadlines and events. And is in the classrooms daily to help out wherever needed whether that means to clean a spill, assist a teacher or wipe a butt. When times were hard for us as a family, she was understanding, flexible and a great support for both myself and my daughter. I recently moved to Round Rock and the drive takes me 30-45 mins on some days but I wouldn't have it any other way because I know it is what is best for my child.

We're relocating our family to Northern Virginia, and leaving Austin Children's Academy is…read moregenuinely one of the hardest parts of this move. Our son Benjamin has been a student here, and the growth we've watched in him during his time at ACA has been incredible. The teachers and staff didn't just teach Benjamin important skills like potty training and using utensils on his own -- they did it with so much patience and care that he hit these milestones happily and confidently. As a parent, watching your child grow through these big "firsts" is special, and we always felt like ACA's team was as invested in those moments as we were. What really sets this school apart is the sense of family. From the teachers to the entire staff, everyone made us feel like we belonged to a community, not just a daycare. Benjamin was loved and cared for every single day, and that kind of warmth is hard to find. If you're considering ACA for your child, don't hesitate. We are beyond grateful for everything this school has done for Benjamin and our family, and we'll carry these memories with us wherever we go. Thank you, ACA -- you'll always have a piece of our hearts.

I absolutely love this school. My oldest has been here for just over three and a half years and my…read moreyoungest for two and a half. I've experienced several other daycares in multiple states, and I haven't found another place that cares the way they do here. I can't speak highly enough about Ms. Anna. In her class, my oldest went from not reading to reading in less than six months. Within three months he was writing full sentences with punctuation. I know she won't be there forever, but I hope she stays for at least three more years to teach my youngest! In just six weeks of elementary, my oldest has advanced in math and has been working with something called racks and tubes, which I learned is for long division. Recently, he brought home pages and pages of Roman numerals that he suddenly knows and was so excited to show me. My youngest isn't quite two and a half and he's already picking up books and trying to tell the story, counting to ten, and singing most of his ABCs. We're still working on a few letters, but I love that he loves learning. Oh, and they have chickens! We get fresh eggs often, and my kids love telling me how to take care of the chickens and explaining why they do all the things they do. I get quite the chicken education. My oldest has ADHD and was having some sensory issues last year. They sent me ideas for items they could order for him. I picked some out and honestly didn't think much more about it, but they actually ordered a wish list for my kid. They put those things on the classroom shelf like they were a normal part of the environment, so he didn't have to feel weird about needing them. He attended five different daycares before we found The Nest, and we never experienced that kind of support for his need to move and fidget. They listened and bought things to help him feel comfortable and participate. That honestly meant so much to me. They also have two dedicated special needs teachers to support kiddos like mine. Fabiola has been such a godsend. She's gotten to know my son and our family in such a short time, but somehow it feels like she's always been part of our journey. Having someone who really knows him and stays in touch with us makes such a difference. I also happen to know the owner bought extra clothes for another kid in my son's class when their family needed some support. She doesn't know that I know that, but those little things are part of what sets this place apart. They also started a fundraiser for my friend's daughter when she needed major surgery. The school contributed $2,000 themselves and offered her two months of free tuition for her daughter. They do food, diaper, and other supply drives a few times a year, too, and match donations from families. I've helped organize some of those drives as a parent volunteer, so I've gotten to see firsthand their genuine love and care. Last year, I joined a parent group chat hoping to make more parent friends, but I eventually stepped away because the conversations had become so negative. Most of what I was hearing didn't match our family's experience, so I met with the director and owner and asked my questions directly. They made time for me and talked everything through. I can't speak for anyone else, but I've always felt comfortable bringing concerns to them, and they've been open with me. They use an app to send pictures and updates, and I get weekly and monthly newsletters on top of daily communication. Beverly, the new director, is friendly and approachable. Whenever I have a question, she responds promptly and usually gives me a call right away. Both she and Fabiola reach out proactively, too, so I'm hearing from people who know my children and are paying attention to how they're doing. When choosing a school, I was looking for people who listen, care about my children, and work with me when they need something. That's what we've had here. After more than three years, I plan to keep my boys here through middle school, and I'm praying they open a high school before we need one
