My children were given a tour of the facility and a mini coding experience from the Director, Kimberly. Code Ninjas teaches coding for kids ages 7 to 14 through a fun gaming curriculum. Parents can choose what hours they would like their children to attend and can pay for the classes on a monthly, six-month or annual basis. They offer drop-in learning, coding summer camps, STEM-based birthday parties and various programs. Children are engaged to stay motivated in the program as they progress in levels of difficulty (earning belts like a ninja; from white to black) as they learn to code; for example, they start in JavaScript and end in C#. When the kids go through each achievement level, the goal is to build self confidence, work on problem-solving skills and critical thinking, and learning how to collaborate with each other. The classes at this location are taught by college students who are CS or Engineering majors (or something of the like). This establishment offers a great way for kids to learn invaluable skills in the ever changing technological landscape. The caveat is these lessons as with everything comes at a price $$$.

Kimberly is an absolute professional--thank you for our informative chat on the phone. My children…read morelearned an incredible amount at Code Ninjas. Learning code and how to handle programs is the language of the future--and my kiddos relished it. I hope to sign them up for a summer camp soon!! Thank you!

We attended my grandson's 2-hour birthday party on a recent Sunday at the Anderson Mill IdeaLab…read moreKids location. I think it was one of the best children's parties I've ever seen. There were 3 planned, hands-on activities for the children (this group included mostly children 8-9 years old), and there was also some "free time" in a large open room, so the kids got some movement. That same room was used to test out the childrens' completed take-home projects. Each of the planned activities was set up in a room with tables and chairs, with one person overseeing each table. For two of the activities, the children took home what they made. There's a party room in the back of the space with a long table, plus space to set up a cake and other snack items. In addition to birthday parties, IdeaLab also offers after-school care and summer day camps, set up by age group. We signed my grandson up for a week of summer camp. There's a wide variety of camp choices, but we expect many will fill up quickly. IdeaLab Kids seems to be a great option for children to have STEM fun in a hands-on environment.

My son has been attending summer camps at idea lab since he was 5 (now turning 10) and he LOVES it…read morethere! He has tried several others and Idea Lab is the ONLY one he has consistently wanted to return to each summer. It's a relatively small group of kids which he likes and he has freedom to be creative and exposure to so many new things and also has made some good friends there. He played chess for the first time there and came home and beat me! I've also found it to be the most flexible and most convenient camp in our area which is honestly why we chose it in the first place. We can drop off as early as 7:30 and pick up at 6 which is so helpful for working parents. They also serve snacks and a catered lunch so we can order ahead and don't have to worry about bringing lunch. Adam the owner is super communicative and accessible if we have any questions or need any help at any time (just a phone call or email away).

We have been with Abacus since my daughter was 10 months old, and I truly couldn't be happier with…read moreour experience. The staff is amazing, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. One of the things I love most is that everyone knows my daughter by name and makes her feel welcomed and loved every day. The director, Ms. Brianna, has been wonderful and always goes above and beyond to support both the children and parents. The curriculum is excellent, and I've seen my daughter grow and excel so much during her time here. We have loved all of her teachers, especially Ms. Sonia in the 2-year-old classroom and now Ms. Kierra and Ms. Emily in the 3-year-old classroom. They are patient, nurturing, engaging, and truly care about each child's development and my daughter loves being with them every day. The daycare provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks, which is such a convenience for parents. They also offer plenty of outdoor playtime and a variety of well-rounded activities that keep the children learning and having fun. The staff was also incredibly helpful during the potty-training process, making it a much smoother transition for both my daughter and our family. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and educational environment for their child. We are so grateful for the care and support they have provided over the years!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kiddie Academy. From day one, the staff has been…read morenothing short of amazing--warm, welcoming, and incredibly patient not just with the kids, but with us as parents navigating this journey too. They take the time to really get to know each child and family, which makes all the difference. I especially want to shout out Ms. Mary, who is truly the heart of the Academy. She watches over all the kids like they're her own, and her care and love shine through in everything she does. You can tell she genuinely loves being with the kids, and they absolutely adore her right back. It's such a comfort knowing our little one is spending the day with someone so kind, attentive, and nurturing. It's rare to find a place that feels this safe and supportive--and Kiddie Academy, thanks in large part to Ms. Mary and the rest of the staff, absolutely delivers. We're so grateful!

The teachers genuinely adore the kids, and love them like their own. Most parents probably aren't thrilled at the idea of taking their kids to daycare, so knowing that they are in good hands makes it bearable. This school has different playgrounds for different ages, a computer lab, cafeteria *with a school chef*, splash pad for the hot summer days, and overall a staff that uplifts and encourages every single family that attends. Our daughter is provided with breakfast, lunch and three snacks throughout the day. You don't have to bring anything except for diapers, wipes, and a blanket for nap time. We also have enjoyed the different family nights, like the trunk or treat they did for Halloween, and the Parent/Teacher "Get to Know You," that they did after COVID. They also encourage classroom birthday parties, Christmas book exchanges, and more. Kids R Kids Teravista partners with Williamson County Workforce Solutions, which is an agency that gives lower income families childcare assistance. Their hours range from 6:45am to 6pm, which is exceptionally helpful to parents that work long shifts. They start at infant classrooms and go through Kindergarten. I could just go on and on. Lastly, this school is independently owned. Mercedes makes this school thrive. She has a passion to make sure every family is content, and she is in the school more times than not. Knowing that my daughter is not only cared for by her set teacher but also by the woman in charge is just so amazing, and I would recommend this school to ANYONE.

At 15 months old, my baby boy hadn't seen many new places or people due to the pandemic - so when…read morewe made the decision to send him to daycare I was SO nervous! We toured several daycares in the area, but the moment I met and spoke with Marisol I knew we had found our spot! You can tell she and Richard really care about their place and the kiddos and love what they're doing. Bree is fantastic and keeps us fully informed when anything comes up. My son gets to do all kinds of fun activities (and I get to see photos through the app throughout the day!) and I can tell he really loves it there - he's always quick to grab his backpack in the mornings and head out to see Bubbles! Honestly, you hear so many horror stories about daycares and wondering who your kiddo(s) are hanging out with all day and what they're doing (especially as a first time Mama!) - but everyone I've spoken with at TLE has been nothing but patient and kind with all of my questions and worries and I am 1000% confident my son is in the right hands.

We initially inquired about this daycare because of its strong reviews and because they participate…read morein TEFA, which gave us the impression that they support inclusivity for children with disabilities and different learning needs. During our first tour, I shared with the owner how excited I was about the possibility of enrolling my son because the facility appeared clean, organized, and well-run. She proudly showed us their awards, but the conversation later shifted to discussing another parent's issues with their child biting staff members. Personally, I felt uncomfortable hearing details about another family's situation, especially without hearing both sides. Later, I explained that my son has a disability and that we were approved for TEFA funding. I shared that he is speech delayed and somewhat behind academically. I also explained that he previously attended a private Catholic school that requested a one-on-one aide, although his IEP team did not recommend one. We are transferring him because we cannot afford the cost of a one-on-one aide on top of tuition. I also clarified that while he has a medical condition, he has not been diagnosed with autism or ADHD, and evaluations from neurology, ABA, and neuropsychology specialists did not indicate autism. I explained that the academic expectations at his previous school were simply not the right fit for him, and that we believed a more play-based environment would better support his development and learning style. However, during this discussion, the owner repeatedly emphasized how advanced their standards were and mentioned that many of their 4-year-olds already know how to read. Unfortunately, the tone of the conversation made me feel less reassured about how welcoming or supportive the environment would be for children with developmental differences or disabilities. What stood out even more to me was the reaction when I mentioned that we had received TEFA funding that would cover the full school year. The owner immediately asked how much funding we received. After I told her the amount, her eyes widened, and she became noticeably quiet while pulling out a calculator and computing the yearly total. That interaction made me uncomfortable and gave the impression that the financial aspect became more important than understanding my child's actual needs. Because of these concerns, I began having second thoughts about enrolling my son and asked for the payment to be placed on hold while my husband scheduled a second tour. Within two days, we were informed that the slot for the next school year had already been filled. What was frustrating was that instead of directly informing us that no spots were available, we were still asked to work around their schedule for another tour. I was also told that I had "cancelled," when I had clearly requested that enrollment simply be put on hold while we made a final decision as a family. Afterward, I also came across other reviews from parents who felt their children with disabilities were treated differently. Reading those experiences made our interaction feel even more concerning. It also made me question how genuine some of the positive reviews are, because our experience was very different from what was portrayed online. I cannot say whether reviews are incentivized, but it did leave me wondering if discounts, perks, or other incentives may influence some of the overwhelmingly positive feedback. I truly hope this daycare reflects on what inclusivity really means. Participating in programs like TEFA should involve genuinely welcoming and supporting children with different needs, not just meeting requirements on paper.
