A Cautionary Review of SA Abyss Volleyball Club…read more If you're considering SA Abyss Volleyball Club, be aware of its leadership issues. Accountability is lacking, favoritism is rampant, and players are unfairly scapegoated. The director avoids responsibility, even going as far as calling the police rather than facing a player she mistreated. Abrupt dismissals, micromanaging, and interference with coaching decisions create an unstable and frustrating environment. A strong volleyball program should be built on fairness, respect, and accountability--qualities this club lacks. If you want leadership that stands by its decisions and supports players, I encourage you to look elsewhere. Until these issues are addressed, SA Abyss Volleyball Club will continue to be a place where leadership avoids responsibility rather than fostering a positive team culture.

My daughter has been attending here since she was 6 weeks and we have enjoyed every second of it! Her teachers, Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Mukta are such great teachers and communicate well with my husband and I on how our baby girl is doing. Pictures are sent weekly which is a big plus and heart warming throughout the day! Misty and Elizabeth are always on top of things in the front and are always so welcoming and friendly to all the families as they walk in. The girls up front were super helpful and understanding for me at the beginning since I was a first time mother, they offered me to have call-in/check up times on my daughter as many times as I would like throughout the day. This to me was a big A+! Finding child care is super scary and risky at times especially for us first time mothers and fathers! STOP LOOKING AND JOIN THE CADENCE FAMILY! You won't regret it! I'm glad I chose this place for my daughter

I started pillars with my oldest in 2022, I fell in love with the teachers and how much they cared…read moreabout my child. I loved the curriculum and the fact they were Christian based. But noticed over the years, the teacher turnover rate was INSANE. (27 teachers total, left in 2024 alone and they don't even staff that many). Every couple weeks there seemed to be new teachers. My oldest moved to kinder this August and my youngest started. In August started the largest decline of a daycare I've ever seen, multiple teachers and the best director were fired and a new one replaced her. But with that, firings continued, one teacher was rehired (who had been previously fired for multiple reason, the largest being bullying children), CCS has been pulled, and there's maybe 5 or 6 classrooms actually being filled with children because so many parents have left (rightfully so). They're combining classrooms now because just as many teachers are leaving, so children don't have that consistency of the same teacher. The only reason and I mean the ONLY reason I stay was because the absolute LOVE and endearment I had for Viridiana. She is an angel/ one-in-a-million teacher you find who actually loves and cares for the babies as her own. Everyday I dropped my child off, it felt as if I was leaving him with family and I knew my child was taken care of. Other than that, it's obvious that the teachers are overworked, understaffed and under appreciated. Do yourself a favor and look at the violations on this website, more than likely, the three teachers I observed who are having these major red flag issues are still there. https://childcare.hhs.texas.gov/Public/InspectionAndComplianceHistory?operationId=1487369

Instead they let him cry the whole time he was there, and out of two weeks of going they only picked him up once. I watched on the camera app (which is very grainy and has no sound) and the teachers would literally just ignore him. There's no cameras outside and I had enough of this place when I surprise picked him up and he was sitting outside in the heat next to the door scream crying and no one was paying him any attention. They said he had been crying the whole time. I literally can't believe it. Pick him up! Nurture him! Help him feel safe! Instead they took away his stuffed animal puppy and just let him cry. Sending my 18 month old boy to this place is my biggest regret as a parent so far.

The kids learn through play...how human beings were designed to learn. When people see how WELL their kids learn and how HAPPY they are learning, it's not uncommon for people to get a strange sensation of both happiness and sadness. I believe that's because we intuitively understand that was the educational experience WE were supposed to have as kids but never did. Oh, and the kids are actually sad when they can't go to school and learn new things. That's exactly the kind of education system our nation so desperately needs.

Felt our child was not safe…read more Our child attenteded the Farmhouse program (3-5 years old) in January 2022 and we withdrew him about 4 weeks into the program. The issue that made us withdraw our child had to do with an inclement weather situation. At the time, the farmhouse program was very fluid between indoor and outdoor activities, with the child being able to decide what he/she wanted to do. The problem arose when inclement weather struck combined with a minor COVID outbreak. 1. COVID Policy: If there was a COVID case, the policy was to close the indoor spaces and have the kids be outside only due to not having enough space to safely accommodate all 37 students - this was perfectly acceptable 2. The Inclement Weather: When inclement weather struck (high of 34 degrees), the Farmhouse program remained open and we were given instructions to bundle our kids so they could handle being outdoors for the entire duration of the classtime. We did not feel comfortable leaving our child out in near freezing weather for three hours straight 3. What Puzzled Us The most: our understanding was that all the other programs (Kinder-8th) - which had enough space to safely accommodate the children indoors - were going to be entirely indoors due to the inclement weather. It was only the Farmhouse Program which would be outdoors, and to reiterate, it would be outdoors for the entire three hours of the program We  felt that it would be inhumane of us to send our child out in the cold when we ourselves wouldn't be out there, so we kept our child home during those days of inclement weather. However, as we thought about it more, we realized it would have been perfectly acceptable of the school to ask parents to keep their children those days due to the unfortunate timing of events with the indoor space issues they had and the COVID outbreak. But to make the decision to keep the school open and feel comfortable having pre-school age children in near freezing weather for three hours straight raised an immediate red flag as to other decisions that might be made in the future. There were other smaller red flags with decisions like these, but this one made it very clear we needed to withdraw our child. There were absolutely good things about the program itself that we liked and it is hard to write a review like this given that the program itself seemed to have merit over a traditional school setting. We also intentionally waited 6 months after the incident to write the review so as not to write out of emotion. We hope this review helps others and also would be ecstatic to find out that those policies/decisions have changed.
