We've been very happy with our experience here for the last year. We have one in the pre-K program and I am really impressed with the advancements she's made in the last year. I feel like she's well-prepared to start Kinder in the fall. I'm also impressed with the advancements I've seen in my son as he's progressed through the toddler program into the 2s. All of the teachers make an effort to know every child's name and I think that makes them feel very special and included. I appreciate that they went through the process to become accredited and have a strong curriculum in place (while leaving plenty of room for the kids to still have fun). It's also nice that being in a federal building makes you feel like the kids are very safe. There are numerous security measures in place to finally get through the center's door, but nothing that would scare the kids. All of the building's security officers are so sweet with the kids! read more

My daughter was at this center for 1 year from Jan 2024- Jan 2025. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. We only left because we moved. She learned a lot, and I knew the staff cared for her on a personal level. I would recommend this center to anyone. My biggest problem was enforcing policies across the board for all children and parents. I felt like my daughter was scratched WAY TOO MUCH! I understand kids scratch, but if the nail clipping policy is enforced and parents are required to cut their daughter's or son's nails, scratches would happen less. Teachers should have nail clippers available at drop-off so parents can clip their children's nails. All in all, whenever I had a critique or comment for staff, it was always heard and respected. read more

My great grandson (4 years old) was hit while at this daycare and had to have several stitches in his forehead. (July 14, 2025) This could have been avoided. I tried to post a picture of the gash in his forehead but it wouldn't paste. May the Lord protect all our loved ones in that daycare And every where. This is sooo wrong! read more

Young Stars - Injury sustained at daycare - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We could not be happier with Young Stars Daycare! Both of our children attend, and it has been such a gift to watch them grow in this environment over the years. From day one, they have felt safe, cared for, and truly part of a community. The teachers are warm, attentive, and clearly invested in each child's development. Our kids have learned so much--not just academically, but also socially and emotionally--and they come home excited to share new things every day. They love their teachers and classmates, which says it all. We feel seen, valued, and respected as a same sex couple with children. We are deeply grateful for the support from teachers like Ms. Oana, Ms. Anna, Ms. Selena, Ms. Destiny, Ms. Tammy, Ms. Sym, Ms. Nicole, and Ms. Ashlee. Additionally, the administration, especially Ms. Eva, goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly and that families feel welcomed and supported. Their dedication truly shines through in the culture of the center. As parents, we have complete peace of mind knowing our children are in a nurturing, supportive place where they are thriving. We highly recommend Young Stars to any family looking for a daycare that combines safety, learning, and joy. read more

My son loves it here, they love him and it shows. He comes home everyday with a new song and new words. He counts and says his alphabets and loves to read. i love all the pictures and videos they send daily. read more

We love this facility! We have been with Young Stars for almost 2 years and the staff and teachers are wonderful. My children are now 3.5 and 10 months. I have nothing but good things to say about Mrs. Anna and Ms. Destiney in the infant room - they are so thoughtful and attentive with the little babies. Additionally, Ms. Nicole (2 year olds) and Ms. Ashlee and Ms. Bree (3 year olds) have been fabulous for my older child. They support the whole child and truly do care for their well being and education. I have been so impressed at how much they have learned and grown during our time here. Further, the administration is great. They respond quickly to emails/calls and provide detailed information when necessary. We have not experienced staff turnover issues either. If you're looking for child care, I highly recommend Young Stars. read more

We love the daycare! My baby is 5 months he was 3.5 months, we really love Mrs. Anna and Ms. Destiny but my son loves them more. As a first-time mother it is difficult to leave your baby in the hands of someone else, but from the first day we are very happy!! Arturo y Alahir. read more

If I can do TEN STARS I would. Young Stars has been more than family to me and my wife. My daughter has been attending Young Stars since she was 12 months and now she is three years old in the pre-school classroom. She was admitted at a rough time when Covid hit, so we had to do everything virtually and I couldn't even tour the property. Ms. Eva helped me with video calls explaining everything and let me talk with her future teacher Ms. Shavoya. I was touring 3 other daycares but I knew in my heart, Young Stars will be the place I choose for my daughter. Two years have passed and now I feel like I am part of their family and they are part of mine. Ms. Tamesha was the best addition ever, she is a great fantastic leader and you can sense the fact that every teacher loves her and feels lucky to be working under her leadership. Ms. Ashley and Ms. Bree pamper us by taking all these beautiful pictures and videos of my daughter, that I can see all day long through the KinderCare app. I can track what they ate, daily activities and the plan for the whole day. Being in the Federal building with all the security measurements makes me feel so comfortable that my daughter is in a safe place surrounded by people that truly love her and care for her needs. Whatever I say is not enough to express my respect and gratitude to all of them and their dedication, and now that we are expecting a baby boy in June, I didn't waste time and got on the waiting list the day we found out my wife is pregnant. I highly recommend Young stars for every parent that is looking for a safe, loving day care. read more

Stars & Tykes (Now Young Stars) has completely surpassed all of my expectations for child care for my 5 month old. The infant room makes me feel good about leaving my daughter as I go to work. It's really hard as a new mom to get over the anxiety of being away from your child for the first time and after trying a different daycare when I first returned to work, I'll just say the teachers are a breath of fresh air! Even the director, Teresa, gets involved and gets to know your babies. I love it! Miss Courtney and Miss Johnnie make a great team in the Infant A room. I only wish they stayed open until 6:30pm - That would help out a bit on the late work days. read more

I've been sending my 2-year-old here for just under a year. They have really worked with him and his language skills have greatly improved. He's creative and social. He's also accepting potty training well. I love the daily enrichment he gets, as well as plenty of free-time play. The environment is safe and clean. He loves his teacher. The effort they put into NAEYC accreditation really shows. read more

We have our daughter in the toddler class (curious crawlers) and love this daycare. She's our third child so I've had some experience with multiple centers - Young Stars ranks high on any measure. The staff is loving and engaged and my daughter comes home having learned many good behaviors. In addition, the security of the building is of enormous comfort in this day and age. Highly recommend this business. read more

Definitely one of the best places I've been the teachers are very kind and dependable Love the hours from 6 to 6 I wish it was 30 minutes more but 6 will do. My child was potty trained by the within 30 days in the discovery class with Miss Nicole and Miss Anna is there every morning to greet us .....,I really appreciate them and all of the staff are very accommodating couldn't do it without them not to mention my daughter is able to take cooking classes. read more

It was a very good center 1 yr back but is not good now. The classes are highly overcrowded, teachers are not interested in looking after kids and the class notes are also not put properly on what your kid did for the day. Also, there is a huge attrition rate with one teacher leaving every month. In the last one year I have been here, I have seen almost 12-15 teachers leave. In toddlers class, the way teachers shout at kids is not good. Instead of explaining what they did wrong, they get shouted upon and held by wrist and dragged to another place. Sometimes I have seen kids who didn't do anything wrong but still were shouted upon as the teacher was not paying any attention to kids and just randomly picked up a kid to shout upon when the kids were fighting. This does not leave a good impression on kid and they learn to shout and misbehave at home to get their ways. Also, I have seen teacher push kids with their foot as they don't want to move from where they are sitting. The management has been trying to improve their image from one year or so by forcing parents to write reviews about teachers. On Yelp also, you can see most of the good reviews written between 8/30 to 9/5. They know that no parent would write a bad review as they leave their kids at daycare and they don't want to earn a bad reputation by writing a bad review which can affect their kid care while they are away. Also, I have seen many accidents, bite incidents etc. You can choose this daycare if you have no other option but if you are looking for a good daycare, don't go here. read more

Young Stars has been such a blessing for our family. Our son joined one of their two infant classrooms when he was 9 months old and it was remarkable how quickly he adapted to being in daycare. Much of this can be attributed to his teachers. He has had the same teachers throughout his infant room experience and it obvious they care about him and his success very much. Almost immediately, our son was learning to be more independent and was learning from watching and interacting with his peers and his teachers. His teachers always keep us in the loop on what he is learning and working on in class that we can be practicing and reinforcing at home. One day I came in and he was holding his own bottle, which was a game changer that I could never get him to do! The app that Young Stars uses to communicate with parents and track the child's activity is great. Everyday I can see what he was learning, how often he drank/ate, how many diapers he had, how often he napped, and even pictures of his activities! I also appreciate the newsletters that provide insight into upcoming activities and the center's initiatives outside of the infant classroom. We will be moving to a big kid classroom soon and I know we will have just as wonderful an experience as we did in the infant classroom. read more

We're incredibly happy with Young Stars and so impressed with the teachers. The curriculum is great, there is plenty of patience and hugs for every child. They make an effort to quickly know your names and make the whole family feel included. We're thrilled we found this place for our son. read more

I could not be happier with Young Stars! My daughter, now 4, has been here since she was 18 months old and I absolutely love what's she learned, her teachers and all the staff. Everyone is great with the kids and my daughter is excited to go to school each day. I'm sad she's graduating out! read more

We sent our 3 month old when I went back to work and love the infant room! The teachers are great with our son and are always so helpful! We actually got a call from our first choice daycare (closer to our house) saying they had an opening and decided that we would rather stay at young stars. Two months in and very pleased so far! read more

I love the center. They all have taken a great liking to my son and family. They are very informative and willing to share information about the center and on the well being of our son. He is developing well and it helps that the center is located in the federal annex. Two thumbs up to the teachers in Infant Room B! read more

Our son has attended Young Stars since he was 3 months old and we couldn't be happier. The administrative staff is always friendly and very personable. The teachers are engaged with the children and with the addition of the Tadpoles App I can always see what my child is learning or what activity they did for the day. They also keep the parents informed through bulletin boards, emails, and newsletters. I also feel that my child's safety is top priority thanks to the several systems that are in place to ensure identification. Overall, I am very satisfied with Young Stars. read more

We're so much happy with Young Stars Dallas and so impressed with the teachers along with its environment. Our 17 Month son is here and is enjoying his time. Looks like he wants to stay here more than being at home. Before his Daycare,he had never been with anyone other than his mom and as most parents we were worried how he would adjust to daycare life. It was very tough initially but he soon got on the groove. It wouldn't have been possible without the patience and dedication of everyone involved. The curriculum is great and they make an effort to make the kid independent. We're thrilled we found this place for our son. read more

We have had our son here for just about a year. He started in Wobbly Walkers and is now in Discovery Preschool (2 year olds). I cannot tell you how much he has grown since starting here. He wasn't a shy kid to begin with, but he has come out of his shell even more than I ever thought possible! His speech is more along the lines of a 3+ year old. He remembers and sings the songs they learn, can recite and show me letters, can tell me about T Rex dinosaurs, etc. It is truly amazing watching him grow and he seems to love the environment here. We have never had any issues with any of his teachers. We searched long and hard for a daycare downtown and this is by far the best one for your value. read more

The facility and its employees are great. But the director is horrible. She has forced us to take our child home based on her PERSONAL opinion regardless of having a doctor's note for my son's allergies and diaper rash. She states it's "up to our discretion" to send a child home. She chose her own PERSONAL opinion over a MD. Even on their faculty's note that gives the explanation for being sent home it states "child sent home due diaper rash unless a DOCTOR'S NOTE is given." A doctor's note was given but she attempted to send him home anyways. Why have a policy in place if you do not follow it? Why should I ever take my child to his pediatrician if she will disregard it? This director PERSONALLY called me and has done this 3 times in the short 2 months my son has been there. Horrible place. She had even gone as far as blaming my child for infecting other children with pink eye and strep. Outrageous. read more

My 4-year old absolutely LOVES this Center. She has flourished in this daycare/school setting. When asked what she learned today, she is quick to say "check your tadpole"-which is an app that provides all the information your child did for that day, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks. I am quick to check the app and get her to tell me more about the activity mentioned on the app. I am thankful that a friend recommended this daycare. Teacher and child ratio is not only met but supersedes the recommended standard - meaning all children have one on one attention and quality care. Staff is friendly! They really teach through play. This is a great place for your child not only to have quality care but also quality education at an early age. read more

My son has been going to Young Stars for the last few months. Honestly I don't understand why the negative reviews. I guess our emotions get the best of us sometimes. My son loves his teachers and says he has fun there every day. I can see improvement in his reading and writing already. The daily email lets me know what he's doing and eating (why is it they can never remember? lol) and it delivers photos and videos of what they are actually doing in class. Young Stars is more affordable than any school we've ever been to and it's easy to get to if you work downtown. We like this place and will keep coming back. read more

Not good for children under 1 yrs old. Teachers did not burp my baby after feeding and he three up all over the floor. Baby got sick often. I would pick him up and find that he had been lying on a boppy pillow for a long time because his eyes were all red from crying. Apparently no one cared and he just kept crying by himself on the boppy pillow in the corner. I also saw babies just rolling and crying on the linoleum floor and no one cared read more

My son has been attending Young Stars for the past couple months and I can already see the improvement in my sons motor skills and development. He is currently 11 months. The teachers are hands on and friendly. The facility is within the Federal Building which also gives me an added sense of safety. read more

Unfortunately my child's stay at the Dallas location was short due to a situation that was less than optimal. I had no direct issues with management; however a one of her teachers physically and verbally abused my child-which I saw with my own eyes. No apology was ever given from that teacher who is still employed there and she even verbalized that "she had dealt with a lot from me". I guess expecting one to do the job they were hired to do is too much to ask these days. Because of the company's confidentiality policy, no update is available. It's rather sad that our systems are so twisted that a person who has abused a child can still be allowed to care for children. If you choose to utilize this daycare just know that a police report was filed by me and it was reported to the state; however, no violations were found (according to the state's website). I'm happy where she is now, but I would be less of a parent to not try to educate other parents in their decision for their child's care. I'm sure the "care giver" will walk a fine line, but listen to your children. If they are suddenly crying when they are being left it is probably for a reason. read more

Honestly I believe everyone has a right to voice their opinion on their experience but always remember when your reading reviews there are also people who have a purpose to harm a business reputation due to them not wanting to follow proper procedures or them taking a small thing and turning it into a huge issue that wasn't true just to hurt others. This center believes in doing what's right for children and anytime the Director or Assistant is informed of a concern they take it and handle it with priority. Unfortunately there have been parents upset if their child is ill and does have to go home but that's a very small percentage of families, most understand being in a group setting the Director must follow strict guidelines to ensure the health and safety of ALL children. To the parent that speaks about the Director disregarding a Doctor note to her convenience she didn't mention she was wanting to use the same Doctors note from several months back and her sons rash was bleeding and open. The Director would never force anyone to provide anything other than documents that reports the child is in good health for the specific issue they are dealing with at that moment. As for any allegations about the staff at this location, the quality of care is always the most important and anytime a parent brings concern it is looked upon, investigated, and handled. The center will always self report to the state as well to help in any investigation. They do not keep any staff that don't show love, respect, and quality educational program and therefore it causes for higher turnover at times. The center has high expectations and sometimes teachers that come in can't meet those. The center appreciates any reviews provided. read more
