The Pillars is a great choice if you are looking for a faith-based education for your child. They…read moredo daily prayers and praise/worship and have Chapel every week. They also do a great job with academics and use good curriculum and have tons of hands-on activities for the kids. They also do a lot of events where parents can get involved with the school - which is great.

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

If you're looking for peace of mind while your child is at daycare, I would think twice about this…read morefacility--at least when it comes to the 12-month-and-up infant room. My daughter was enrolled in Infant B for only two months, and during that short time, she had four incidents involving visible injuries, including large red marks on her forehead and nose, that were not reported to me. I completely understand that toddlers fall and get hurt. What concerned me was that I had repeatedly asked to be notified of any injuries, especially injuries involving her head, yet these incidents continued without communication. After the third incident, I emailed the director and specifically asked her to review the cameras because my daughter's forehead and nose remained visibly red for hours after pickup. I never received a response, and I was left feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously. We were also concerned about the level of supervision in the classroom. My husband and I personally observed children unsecured in high chairs without a teacher maintaining line of sight. On one occasion, we saw a child standing in a high chair while the teacher had her back turned across the room. We reported this concern to staff. Unfortunately, the concerns did not end there. On my daughter's final day, she came home with another scratched, red mark on her forehead, with no explanation of how it happened. At that point, we made the decision that our daughter's safety was more important than the additional cost of paying two daycares at once after putting the two weeks notice and we moved her to another daycare. After just one week at her new daycare, we have not experienced the repeated falls, unexplained injuries, or visible marks that we experienced here. We paid a significant amount because we expected our daughter to be safe, supervised, and cared for. Instead, our experience left us repeatedly worried about her safety and without the communication and peace of mind we expected.

We love Pillars! We switched from another daycare mainly due to increased traffic and how…read moreconvenient it is. I hesitated to make the switch because it is higher than our past center, but now I wish we had switched sooner. Our two kiddos get excellent care and the environments are conducive to learning without being overstimulating. Our son in one of the 2/3 year old room has done so well, and I'm amazed at how organized his teachers are able to keep things. They are proactive in their communication and the center is always clean and welcoming. If you live on this side of town we highly recommend Pillars Talley!

It's a school that honors curiosity over rote learning. That honors emotions over the subjugation…read moreof feelings. That honors the soul over the system. 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.
