All of my kids have grown so much. The director Cheryl and owner Amad have been so supportive and understanding with my son! not too many child care facilities can handle a kiddo with special needs there are TWO teachers employed there who have degrees in SPED (special education) and they are fantastic always giving me ideas and numbers to call for help and support. Several months back they started remodeling and i must say this place looks fabulous. I recommend anyone one looking for AFFORDABLE great child care in a clean and safe learning environment stop in and see for yourself.

Not only did she take care of him, but she loved him, and taught him some wonderful manners such as saying please, and putting away toys at clean up time. My son loved Miss Wanda and we are sad to transition to a new school with more children, but I am so grateful for the time they spent together, and the security in knowing that he was very well taken care of and looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wanda to anyone I know who may be in need of child care. Thank you, Miss Wanda!

My daughter has been attending this facility since she was 2 years old. The ladies here are awesome…read moreand love to give the kids extra attention and love when they need it. My daughter started in the 2yr old class and then went to the 3yr old class. She learned so much in a short period of time. She was counting and knew her colors right before my eyes and it was amazing to see how much she learned everyday. She is still 3yrs old until the end of January but she has been bumped up to the 4yr old class because she is more advanced than other 3yr olds. There is a good amount of group learning and one-on-one learning time that the teachers provide to all the children. In almost 2 years, I have never witnessed an issue with parents nor teachers nor the location. They open at 630am and close at 6pm so you cant beat the hours, the price of $500/month, nor the love they give these children. They have also added new equipment to the playground and the children look forward to outside time. You have to provide your own lunch but if you happen to forget it, they will feed your little ones. They also provide snacks in the morning and in the afternoon. This is really the best place in town!

After a disappointing experience at another daycare in Hutto, I visited several schools searching…read morefor the right fit for my toddler. From the moment I toured MKU Hutto, I knew it was the place for us. The level of security, the impressive credentials of the staff, and the thoughtfully designed curriculum--blending Montessori, STEM, and even yoga--immediately stood out. That first week confirmed everything. My son came home happy, more independent, and talking so much more. He quickly formed a bond with his wonderful teachers--Hailey, Jennifer, and Arline--who not only teach him but truly love and support him. He loves going to school now and often doesn't want to leave because of how much he enjoys his friends and teachers. As we prepare to move, finding another Montessori school that lives up to MKU Hutto's high standards has been incredibly difficult. We are so grateful for the time we had here and will truly miss the amazing staff. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Shah for building such a nurturing and enriching environment and for choosing such a dedicated team.

The communication from Ms. Meshe, Mrs. Amber, Mr. Jay, and Mr. Omi has been exceptional. They always keep us informed and are very approachable. The environment is truly like a second home for our children. During the summer, my older kids attended their summer camp and it was one of their favorites of all time! We've been to another courtyard before, but it doesn't compare to the quality and warmth of this center. Highly recommend this center!

Starbright is the VERY BEST preschool that a parent who wants the best for their child(ren) can…read morechoose! There are a LOT of options available in ATX, and preschool paves the way to the future: This is a HUGE decision for parents of young children to make! If you want your child to embrace their childhood exposed to and graced with age-appropriate experiences and learning opportunities, to learn about who they are and how to interact with & respect others, and to know what it's like to be loved and appreciated for who they are as an individual, then you found the best that Austin offers! I call Starbright the "Waldorf Prep School," as this is the underlying premise/"curriculum." My children now attend AISD vs. Waldorf, because we don't necessarily ascribe to Waldorf concepts when it comes to grade-school education/philosophy vs. the overall public school experience. For a preschool-age child, the freedom to be a kid --having fun, learning life-skills and experiencing Life, having bountiful learning opportunities, and feeling secure and cared for-- matters! Obviously for a Waldorf-minded parent, this is your preschool! For a parent wanting a preschool to solely/directly to "mold"/"prep" their child for their grueling academic future (which I personally believe subtracts from ultimate well-roundedness and childhood development), then Starbright is NOT for you. For a parent wanting your child to learn, grow, have fun, and be ready for public/private school, keep reading! The Director and the teachers at Starbright: The Director is AMAZING! Her experiential learning and degreed background (well over 30 yrs) as a teacher and guidance counselor are a big part of WHY Starbright is so awesome. She highly scrutinizes and hand-picks each staff teacher, identifying matching qualities included in their background/educational degree, and for a "whole person" concept and presence that exudes love, caring, and respect for others on all levels. Believe me, if a staff member doesn't "measure up," they won't last long at Starbright. But more importantly for a parent "shopping" for a preschool, rest assured that turnover rates are really low because the selection of staff members is so stringent. The teachers/staff at Starbright are there for 1 united purpose: To provide the very best growing/learning experience for the children at Starbright, period. Parental-involvement greatly enhances your child's experience at Starbright, just as it "should be" in the development of your own child. The more you can contribute in any capacity, the more the class (& your child) excels as a whole. I don't want to say it's a "make or break" (for those who have full-time working parents), but some of the extraordinary events that happen at Starbright REQUIRE parental involvement for the greatest experience overall. We attended for years (from 22 months to 6 yrs old x 2 kids approx. 2 yrs apart - both at Starbright) that included a plethora of involved parents: Our experience was far & beyond anything we could have imagined possible in a preschool! Bottom-line: YOUR involvement is what helps Starbright to fulfill its mission & vision FULLY! Starbright Preschool is an extremely valuable, enriching, and loving experience that I wish I had as part of my own childhood. It's not the cheapest, and it's not a specifically academically-focussed preschool. But what it IS at its core -what it provides to each child, your child - is a safe, fun, kid-based/age-appropriate learning environment that develops your child as a WHOLE person, adequately preparing your child for all-around success in grade school, Life, and the future. This review was written as my kids are currently in 3rd & 5th grade. I felt the need to post this after seeing fellow parents of Starbright "graduates" at a middle school (MS) for the writing test portion of application to the MS Academy. We parents couldn't stop talking about how much we loved and appreciated Starbright Preschool!!!

I waited a few years to write this review to have clarity on the situation and not just write with…read moreemotion. Four years later, I still have an extremely negative impression of this school. The blame, I believe, lies entirely with the director at the time, Jean. Perhaps she's still there. I get the feeling my son was accepted for an afternoon slot so Jean and Starbright could get extra money. There was no other explanation for why a new toddler would be accepted if there was no support available for him. My wife took him to the preschool for only 1.5 hours of the 3 hours we paid the first week so everyone could get used to the new situation. She would stay after to talk with teachers and let our son play on the playground. The second week, our son was there for 2 hours. At each pick up, we checked in with the teachers who assured us that our son was progressing as expected. This was his first experience with out-of-home child care. We knew he cried when we left, and we left quickly to make the transition easier for all. We also let everyone at the school know our son cries loudly and they should not be alarmed. On the Friday of the second week, we were pulled into Jean's office and told "this is not working out." She said that one teacher was out pushing him on the swings for the two hours he was in the school's care. The other teacher was with the rest of the kids. I don't blame the teachers, who seemed to lack experience, but the director for putting us and the teachers in such a situation, then not keeping us in the loop and "firing" us with no notice. And when she asked us not to return, she didn't even know our son's name! Our son went on to a fabulous preschool after this horrid place for 2 wonderful years and is now a successful elementary student. I strongly urge you to reconsider when thinking of this school.

Long story, but we found out later that they were actually from rats. Yes you heard me right. Some of the teachers told us privately that they have been putting poison out at night. Fabulous.
