    Giant steps is celebrating 15 years of teaching children this is a preschool not a day care. Great school and only place I would consider.

    This was my toddler's first chance at daycare and I was counting on this place to provide a…read morenurturing environment for my child. 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.

    AppleTree already gets 5 gold stars fro me HOWEVER, it was not until my son started Kindergarten…read morethat I realized just what a great job they had done with him. He was totally prepared for Kindergarten and is even ahead. All the work he is coming home with is stuff he has been doing for the past year. I don't know what else I can say other than I am totally impressed with AppleTree Day School and miss them very much now that we are in school!

    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

    La petite has been an absolute joy for my children and I. The staff have always been so incredibly…read morekind and welcoming. They have made new upgrades that promote more of a school setting environment which my daughter loves. The center also host several different services outside of school hours which further shows how dedicated they are to making the kids and parents feel like one big family. I love this center and love even more how they go above and beyond for the kids.

    I wrote a positive review for this business a while back because I was asked to by the director…read morewhom I was friends with...then one day, something changed. I don't know what or why, but it did. Below is just a small snippet of what we've been through the last year. Negligence. Fraud. Abuse. When Yuliana took over as director, everything changed. My daughter was physically abused (dragged across the floor by her arm - I watched it happen on camera), my kids were targeted and neglected (I have pictures of marks and bruises that went undocumented). I tried talking to her personally, tried going to the regional director, even, and nothing changed. I ended up filing charges with the state and they were cited in several issues, but nothing changed for the better, if anything it made their vengeance worse. A veteran teacher of many years left in the middle of her shift because she couldn't take it anymore. Their turnover rate for teachers, when they can even get someone hired, is astronomical. They changed their hours leaving us parents with no leeway time for work, they are rude, yell at your kids, don't assist in behavioral issues even when a child is diagnosed and it is documented, and are basically just one group of bullies towards children and parents they don't like. My child was always the "problem" but at his new daycare, he's never gotten in trouble once and they actually talk about what a sweet kid he is, how great and helpful he is, and how well he behaves. They'll send your kids home in messy diapers, don't assist in potty training, lie on documentation...it turned into a horror story. They even had "financial errors" aka stole money from parent accounts and charged potty trained kids' parents for diapers. I tried to get corporate involved, nothing changed with that either. I really gave it my all before pulling my kids and getting reviews/higher-ups involved, but when nothing changes and everyone just turns a blind eye, you can't do it anymore. Just save yourself time and money. Even some heartache. Ms. Santos and Ms. Katrina deserve better. And I'll miss what this place USED to be.
