I trusted this place with my child, and what we experienced was extremely hurtful and unacceptable. Over time, I witnessed behavior from certain staff members that made me seriously concerned about the environment and how children were being treated. My son experienced inappropriate and hurtful comments about his skin color, and instead of addressing the situation, the blame was shifted onto him. He was also being bullied, and nothing was handled properly. On top of that, I also noticed a serious lack of confidentiality. Personal information about families and their situations was openly discussed among staff and even shared with other parents, which is completely unprofessional and unsafe. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this daycare. Families deserve a place that is safe, respectful, and supportive, and unfortunately this daycare did not provide that for my child. I strongly hope changes are made so no other child or parent has to go through what we did.

TLE - Manor was our first daycare experience, and we genuinely had a wonderful time! Naturally,…read morethere were some growing pains, but anytime that there was an issue, TLE never hesitated to take accountability and work to resolve the issue, and dealing with their Director, Janice was always an absolute joy and was insanely helpful even with us moving on. Our little one enjoyed his time there and we could definitely see development in his sensory and social skills. The teachers genuinely got attached to him and were sad to see him leave. Of course, this is just our experience, but I would highly recommend TLE - Manor if you're looking for a safe and caring place!

I enrolled my children at The Learning Experience (TLE)-Manor in January 2025. Prior to enrollment,…read moremy children had been at a different daycare from age 3 months-4 years old, and transitioning to a new childcare environment was a daunting decision. Enrolling at TLE was the best decision for my children's development and our family. The leadership team and teachers are professional, highly communicative, understanding of child development, planful with parents to identify strategies that will yield the best outcomes for children's development, and thoughtful and intentional about the delivery of the curriculum. I cannot say enough about TLE-Manor and encourage anyone to try it for themselves - you will not be disappointed.

I can't recommend Homegrown enough. When my partner and I were first seeking childcare we were…read moregrateful to find a place that had lots of property for play in addition to a staff full of diverse folks, all of whom have been working there since the school opening. As we toured, it immediately felt like the kids were comfortable, and we felt so welcome. Since our child has been there (he is our first baby) they have given us confidence, comfort and advice when we sought it. They helped us to realize our kid was suffering from hearing loss and guided us on how we could get him help both from doctor and government programs. They have patiently guided our kid through some serious anxiety struggles and I've witnessed they practice flexibility with other neurodivergent children. It's so comforting and appreciated. This place has become more than a daycare for our family, we've gained amazing friendships with other families, the staff, and the sweet resident pups, kitty and farm animals. Thank you so much Homegrown Staff, we are grateful for you!

The classroom, outdoor activities are really impressive. After viewing 3 daycares, Homegrown sets apart from the rest for so many reasons, I too hope you get to witness while touring their warm and inviting daycare. I feel this is the best daycare in East Austin!

My little one raves about school and her friend's and LOVES school thanks to everyone there. We have been through a few daycares and this one was a good feel right from the start. Very homey, clean and well kept. Goats and cows right next door. I searched long and hard to find a center that we would BOTH love. Thanks for being AWESOME!!

If you can't afford to go elsewhere it's understandable, but if you can do better you should

This school really deserves 5 stars, and this is coming from a non-christian parent…read more Once you tour this school, you will realize that the daycares or schools that run like a business are never the types of schools you want to enroll in. The teachers here are very loving, and they are true role models that you would want your children to be around with. I can see that my child has better manners after she enrolled. The school operates normal hours from 9-2 pm, M-F. with early extended hours at 8:00 am. You may also come in for MWF or TTH. It is unfortunate that they do not have extended hours after 2 pm. The classes are very structured, but they are more focused on the breadth of knowledge than depth. Also be aware that if you enroll M-F, some of the classes may be duplicated for your children as they planned lectures to ensure everyone had a chance to participate. I think it might be a good idea to not enroll M-F and choose MWF or TTH. The only thing that I would ever ask for improvement is the extended hours and no food heating for children's lunch.

Best Montessori School around!…read more Where do I begin? The staff here are some of the sweetest and friendliest people I have ever met. They go above and beyond to involve our children in everything and are so patient with them. My son was in Ms. Jerical's class last year with Ms. Gabi, Ms. Becca, and on e more assistant. He raved about them and spoke about them everyday when he came home. He had nothing but great stories to tell. His younger brother took his spot this year and was beyond thrilled to be a part of the Marimont Montessori family. Ms. Rachel the owner, and her husband, run an amazing, clean business and are also so friendly. They always return our calls and emails right away. They have chickens and other farm animals, the children learn to garden, and there is ample outdoor time, which they believe is so important and so do I. I have so many great things I can't fit them all. Stop looking around and have your children go here, you won't be disappointed and your children will THRIVE! We love everyone here. Thank you so much for helping my children grow and be the best they can be!

This may be the only Yelp review I write with tears in my eyes as I think of our wonderful memories…read moreover the past few years at Marimont. Between two children and a cross-country move, we have experienced more than our share of daycares -- easily a half-dozen over the past decade. This one stands out as being the best by a long shot. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this facility is a hidden gem. My only regret is that we didn't find it sooner. I think the best way to sum up my feelings is that every time I dropped off my child here, I felt such joy -- joy at seeing the directors Rachel and James running a caring-centered facility, joy at seeing the teachers empathetically interacting with children, joy at seeing the kids working independently at lessons that ranged from feeding farm animals on site, working in the gardens or enjoying a variety of lessons inside the classroom. As opposed to stricter Montessori environments I had experienced, where parents were discouraged from participating, we were welcomed here for monthly poetry recitals, Bubbles & Books and more. I loved the random events that inspired creativity, such as Dress Like a Composer Day or Chordate Day. We also participated in extracurriculars such as cooking class. I knew my child was always cared for and would experience a love of learning at this facility. We couldn't have asked for a better start, and how much I miss it now that this chapter is behind us.

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!

My son attended this daycare in the infant classroom. I…read morewould urge parents to look at the other recent positive review(s) and objectively decide for themselves if they are false or true. My son's teachers kept quitting and new teachers were joining, with the average tenure of teachers being 1-3 months. (In stark contrast, he now goes to a different daycare where he has the same teachers throughout the almost 9 months he has spent there. ) There was a teacher in his classroom who reported having Covid to the school but the school did not send out a timely notice, only sent it out after I emailed them and asked about the incident. My son ended up getting Covid and resultant chronic ear infections from their tardiness. Very disturbing, callous and borderline illegal. Don't send your kid here.
