We are so thankful for the prep! We moved from NY a year ago and started at the bee cave location…read moreand then switched to dripping springs once our house was built! The school is beautiful and new and kept clean. Each class has a lot of natural light which is important to me. They have a cafeteria for the older kids and a technology room with fun activities. They also have many big outdoor spaces for the kids to play and each space is for a certain age group. The staff at both locations are the biggest reason that we love the prep. All of the teachers are welcoming, warm, friendly and smart! The pre k and kinder teachers have been great as well and seem like they take great pride in what they do! Lastly the administration staff is amazing and easy to talk to! I love them anD again am so grateful for these amazing people who take care of my precious babies!!

Can't say enough praise for this place. We were so nervous to put our first child in daycare…read moreanywhere, even at 12 months. We were worried it was "too soon" and he "wasn't ready", but really it was us who were scared, our little boy LOVED the teachers and the other kids pretty much instantly. He's been there a year now and in the morning when we ask him if he wants to go to school he says "cool! cool!" (for school) and gets his PREP t-shirt and points to the letters on the front. He recognized that's his school shirt! I have to start at the top and say that the current manager there, Brittany, is hands down the best at her job (and we're talking now having seen her handle the pandemic shutdown and reopening and masks and all this craziness). Through it all, and all the personnel changes, Britanny never drops the ball when it comes to the care of the kids OR prompt responses to the parents with literally ANY concerns (for example, when my little one has a diaper rash problem for a few days, I literally call and ask them to put certain creams on in a certain order and then I'll even double check throughout the day and ask them to randomly check his diaper, etc etc - if you're reading this and think I'm crazy, you're not a mom :) - but seriously it's never even a bother. They're SO NICE at the front office. They totally understand my concerns and they TRULY want the kids to be happy. FACILITIES - clean (really clean!), new, modern TOYS - constantly introducing new toys/books/age-appropriate learning materials ACTIVITIES - they do SO MUCH stuff that I can't possibly even think of replicating at home. From outdoor play, to art projects, to sing-alongs and racing games... MANAGEMENT - just excellent. As I said, while some people have come and gone, everyone in the front office is always kind and responsive, and Brittany, the manager, runs a tight ship. I'm clearly overprotective (as you can tell by this review, I'm sure :) And I've never once had a situation where I thought Brittany wasn't 100% on it or ahead of it. TEACHERS - all have been really sweet! Again, some have been young college students here for the summer that went back to school, so there's some transition (which is totally normal for this business) but to their credit, from day one, all the teachers were really friendly and caring and responsive to my many many questions. (how long did my boy nap today?what did he eat? what are his favorite sing along songs? etc etc). Can't say I didn't like a single one. We literally had some very good reasons to MOVE out of state, and the top thing BOTH my husband and I instantly said was "not till all our kids finish daycare here! No way are we going to a different daycare". That's how strongly we feel that the PREP is just awesome...and our second kid will be starting there soon! If anything, wish I started them BOTH sooner..but you know, new mom guilt :)

One of the…read morefounders listed on the website no longer did this type of work and referred me to someone else--that person never responded to my email; so I was referred to someone else. He was ill, then his daughter was ill and then he just stopped responding all together. For such a well-meaning community built organization, their customer service is very lacking and they really do not seem that concerned with helping people willing to pay for their services. Really, really disappointed--not to mention the time wasted waiting on an appointment only to never get one. This was a complete waste of time and I would not recommend this organization for any kind of consulting/design services.

Finally learning information directly useful to living a more interesting and productive/sustainable life. So interesting and engaging that no-one slept during the Saturday morning classes... lots of field trips and guest speakers... Main principle of permaculture is to become familiar with your specific place and to use that knowledge to design your local activities... landscape, gardening, building design, water collection, run-off management, community awareness/political involvement... refinement in ones life is limitless and can be fun... one of the goals is to enjoy hammock time in your wonderful creation... no need for agriculture of depletion, monoculture with magic corporate seed and chemicals... Perm is about feeding and protecting the soil and other resources. Final project is to incorporate perm principles into a design project using an existing property. Begins with learning to use city GIS viewer to get plats and basic contours, ends with your final design presentation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMdDjRfthok http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/austinperm/

I've had nagging issues that have bothered me since the beginning. I saw my older son, when he was 2, being screamed at and shaken by his teacher.

The new owner blamed it all on my son and said he was "the worst kid in their class." The teacher was not let go. I would never give my money to a company that doesn't put kids first.
