To be quite honest, we were really nervous to send our son there. He had never stayed with a…read morenon-family member and now we were going to send him to daycare. Let me tell you, we could not be happier. The staff there truly love the kids. I'm constantly in awe of how they're able to manage and keep smiles on their faces. Our son is so spoiled and loved. Since starting EEP, he's really come out of his shell. The school is student focused and family centered. There are opportunities to get to know more families, my son has a great little group of friends, and the staff is so awesome. The hours can be a concern, but we do early drop off and extended day, which means that he's there from 7:45-3pm, which is pretty much a school day. If those hours work for you, DO IT. You definitely won't regret sending your kid(s) there.

My son has attended East End Preschool since he was 12 months old. We toured many facilities in…read moreGalveston and we knew EEP would be our home within seconds of stepping in the front door. My son had never been watched by anyone else and was terrified when I would leave him. However, the baby room teacher asked me to just try letting her hold him. Sure enough, he took right to her. Every teacher here has a way of making the kids feel important and loved. The facility is always so clean, the teachers are welcoming, and they always make sure my little guy has a great day. My son is now 2 and half years old and every day he comes home with a new art project. Everyday he is learning something new. I can't imagine ever taking my son to a different place. There are a variety of hour and day options. You child can go as little as 3 hours a day / 2 hours a week or 7 hours a day / 5 days a week (and there are many options in-between).

There should be a zero stars option I do not recommend this childcare facility. My experience is…read morepretty lengthy and I probably won't be able to put everything on here .I'm very particular about where my child would be receiving care and did research had tours of childcare centers in the area. We chose this one as it was new and the classroom for the 2 year old program had a smaller ratio of children compared to others among other things that seemed great on the outside. Registered and filled out all required paperwork turned in a week in advance that included an all about me page to inform the teachers of my child's likes/dislikes etc..Come start day MONDAY March 7, complete chaos from the time I tried to enter the building. Walked down to her room 5 go in and kids are just running around toys everywhere no organization just complete chaos! A kid had an area rug pulled up and was underneath it another had a large plastic table on its side and another kid was laying on top of a play kitchen set. I also observed a pen and pencil in hands reach on the table with an iPad that was all next to the little sink the kids use. I then ask if my child has a cubby for all her things as this was her first day they should have been prepared for her first day and had a cubby the teacher ms Cynthia or Cindy came over and says no we don't so she just takes the bag of diapers and wipes her nap mat I have and shoves them in a cubby she finally introduces her self and the other teacher ms deserea and then asks me if there is anything they need to know about my child! I filled out a full front and back page telling them all about my child! They had no clue she was starting or who she was! I proceed back up to the front after leaving my child I should have just left right then! I tell the lady at the front what I just experienced and her answer was "It must be the weather " . What an excuse. I get on the camera app and see kids running all around I don't see any teachers paying attention or interacting with the kids still just chaos. The lady up front goes in the room I can see her getting the kids to sit at the tables they get shaving cream out and the kids are all smearing it all over the tables and themselves this is mens shaving cream( my child smells of it when I picked her up I know ) so now my child goes up to one teacher looks as if she is upset she doesn't like it on her hands that teacher just blew her off so she walks over to the other teacher and she picks her up under both arms and swings her over to the chair plops her in it and pushes it up to the table! I'm watching this all unfold on camera so I'm pissed . I go right back in ask to talk to the director Ms Monica just explained everything that happened and all I could get was I'm sorry ! Totally unacceptable no one will treat my child like that ! Also you can only login a certain amount of times before it tells you you can't log back in til the next day for camera access! No one told me that on the tour! I took my child out this all happened in just an hour I can only imagine what else goes on all damn day ! I can't get in touch with the owners either no number for Kayla or Michael Dority to inform them what's going on at their childcare facility. The staff needs to go through more training of how to comfort and direct a child that's upset . My child has never been in childcare she has been home with me for 2 years. She was so happy and excited to start and play with other kids and this experience completely ruined it for her! So if you are the owners and reading this how about you reach out and call me! Ask your director ms Monica about my experience. Actually Kayla you called me from the childcare center the week before we started so I have spoken to you before .

We absolutely love this facility. We started as soon as they opened and have no complaints. I went…read moreto multiple other daycare and early learning centers with lists of questions (my sister has been an early educator for years and gave me a lot of tips and state regulations to watch for). This is the only place we toured that made us feel comfortable and that our kiddos took well to immediately. I was a stay-at-home mom for two years, so, I was really worried about the transition for my children as well as myself; but all the staff -- Director and Owner's of this location included, were so welcoming and accommodated all of our needs. Since starting, my kids have flourished! Their social skills are great, they learn so much on a regular basis and love the teachers and staff. They get to participate in sensory learning activities where my kids can be kids and are still learning, plus other things like "Fun Fridays" keep things exciting and different. I can't say enough great things about this place! I truly see how much my kids enjoy it and how much the staff reciprocates that back. Other places were pushy and made my kids seem more like a check than something to be cherished. Another thing to note; I can check in/out on my phone in the app but I also get regular updates about my boys (pictures, what they eat/drink, if they need more items like diapers or wipes) so that is really nice and there is another app too peek in and see how they are doing if I feel the need.

I have two boys, 2 and 4, and could not be happier with how well they are taken care of. Ms.Elva is my two years olds besty and is such a great teacher to all those little 2s. She takes time and give so much love and attention that he sprints to her room every morning. The kinder crew (Kenzie, Cortlyn, and Cindy)are amazing. They spend so much time planning fun activities for the kids and my four year old sometimes tells me he'd rather be at school than with me (ouch lol). The admin team also deserves a shout out. Deena is bar none the best person Ive ever dealt with in a daycare setting. Professional and sweet and always ready to help. They have so much going for them that I can't possibly fit it in on here, but suffice to say, I will alway recommend them for their team of amazing people and the love they show to our kids. Thank you guys for being the village we need.

My daughter recently started pre-k here and she LOVES IT!!!!…read more Let me tell you more about my daughter so you understand why this is such a big deal: My daughter is very very very clingy to me. I guess you could call her my little "Velcro" baby. She doesn't do well meeting people for the first time as she is a bit shy... at first. As soon as we walk into the facility she was greated with this huge mural of the sea and colorful fishes, she was impressed!!!! "Wow mommy!! Look at the fishy!!!!" Very welcoming impression for her. My husband and I walk her to her class , once she walks in a teacher dancing with the other children in the back walks to the front and greats my daughter. She quickly took her back back off and joined the rest of the kids!!!!! She didn't even say goodbye to us!! Rember, she's my Velcro baby, this is unusual of her.

Honestly what I could say is DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE EVEN IF ITS SEEMS LIKE A GREAT PLACE !!!…read more I didn't really have a thought to it because I'm a young first time mom but I took my kid here and the baby had a golden bracelet. Literally on her 3 day of being there I seen her bracelet was gone after I picked her up. I asked to look at the cameras again and they said no which we have access on our phone to look at the live Camaras. I talked to the owner and he let me see it and it showed my baby went in the diaper room and when she came out she didn't had her bracelet anymore. The teacher there kept playing it off that my baby was playing by a near by trash cans when I just seen my baby the door. Then they try blaming it on the janitor that they threw it away by accident. They try to give me next week half off but yet they didn't care about her. On her 2 week of going there to the day care I understand my kid didn't wanted to share chairs but this kid has no reason to bite my baby. I picked my baby up and had a bite mark and they never called to make an incident report. They stated that my baby didn't cry which I believe it was a LIE as well because my baby had that bite mark for 4 days in a row there no way my kid was just standing there looking stupid with out saying anything and letting a kid bite her that hard. After I talked to the owner he said something to them but yet the next day THEY were trying sit her away from ALL THE LITTLE KIDS and I kept looking at the live Camara and called it in they said supposedly she was hitting kids which she doesn't do that, she pats them that's her way of letting kids know she's talking to them because she doesn't know their name or can't even say it. They lady said "so you want me to call every 15 min" I had told her my schedule was flexible and if there was ANY ISSUES TO CALL ME and they never did I kept looking at the camaras and my baby was just standing up and sitting repeating but not hitting any kids. Not just that but I can keep going on about her dippers/wipes and her food as well. After I called in to drop her out of her class because she's never coming back they kept trying to charge me 265 every week which kept adding up to estimating 1,180 which I didn't pay because she didn't kept going, I should of really filed a police report for all of this but I was being too nice and gave too many chances..... like I mention DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE

I started running on pavement...didn't know anything different. Didn't realize that running on a track feels so much better on the knees and joints. Plus, it's way easier to do speed work on a track that's already all marked out. The only downsides: there's no water. You HAVE to bring your own hydration. Which really isn't that big of a deal. I mean, what runner doesn't have a camelbak, or a hydration belt, or at least a water bottle? The bigger thing is no bathrooms. I have seen the bathrooms at the track open exactly once, so unless they open them when school starts, do not count on there being anyplace to go! There have been days where there are groups using the track (school athletic groups, I think), so you just have to play nice and give them room. There really is plenty of room, you just have to be aware of what people are doing around you. I love this option to work on my speedwork; it feels better om my legs, plus there's bleachers if you want to incorporate some bleacher work into your running routine as well. Come on out on Tuesdays at 7 pm and see me and my running peeps! We will be there!!
