Our two children attend The Prep and we couldn't be happier! We recently moved from California and looked around the greater Stone Oak area at a lot of different childcare facilities. For our family, The Prep was the clear choice. The building and grounds are all very new, they have excellent play areas and classrooms and we've been super impressed with all of the teachers! Having our kids in prior childcare facilities, we would often see a lot of turnover amongst the teachers, but at The Prep, I don't think any of our kids teachers have left! Turnover happens, but I view it as The Prep doing something right to keep their excellent staff in place!
The Prep takes children from 6-weeks and up! They were really helpful in potty training our 3-year old and our kids actually look forward to going to school everyday!
Some of the things that sets The Prep apart:
- Lots of different spaces (a lunch room, a gymnasium, a "tech" room, play yards and splash pad) keeps the day interesting, as the kids are not just in the same one classroom day after day and it mimics more of the school experience they will have in elementary school
- Great staff! From teachers to the directors, all wonderful
- Uniforms: We were skeptical at the idea of uniforms, as it's something we hadn't seen in California (although it seems more normal in the San Antonio area), but we've found it to make our mornings and laundry much easier! All we need to do is make sure we have clean school shirts and pick a color. It also is a good clue to the kids that it's a school day, so they know what to expect for the day just when getting dressed
- Lunch is provided! At all of our previous daycare we had to pack lunch everyday, which meant extra prep time in the evening or morning. We've found it a great benefit that snacks and lunch (and breakfast for an extra $2) are provided at The Prep
In total, The Prep is great! It is on the more expensive end of childcare facilities in the area, but it shows - both in the school and in the other families attending. There is a sense of care and commitment to the "school" setting! read more
