This daycare is wonderful and everyone is friendly and care about children. I would recommend taking your child here they open early and good about calling you and communicating if your child needs anything. read more

Great staff!!! Our son has been there for 8 years and no problems. Highly recommend!!!

My child has attended the Luv-n-Care on Huebner Road since infancy, and he is now 3 years old.  I could not be happier with the facility.  They have always shown such love, patience, and empathy.    He loves going to school each day and runs in with enthusiasm.  His language has exploded, and he seems to come home everyday with new words.  The teachers are loving and consistent.   I have loved all of his teachers throughout the stages, but a special shout out to Ms. Belinda, Ms. Ileanna, Ms. Bea, Ms. Lisa, and his current teacher Ms. Anna.   Ms. Anna is loving and patient, and is currently doing most of the potty training.  They offer a great curriculum, and he brings home a "master piece" each day, with art work and projects.  FunshineExpress, is the curriculum, which I was able to look up online.  There is also lots of play time, with his current favorite being the "Dancing Fountains". The front office staff are friendly and helpful, including Ms. Sandra, Ms. Lisa, Mr. Jessie, and Ms. Katherine. I would highly recommend this center!!! read more

As a child who attended this daycare in the 90s, i was willing to forgive the misfortune and mistreatment i received and hoped for better for my child. I was met with constant complaints of how my child was "too much" and demands to pick him up as a result of the staff not willing or capable to deal with a "difficult " 3 year old. As a parent I even changed careers to be able to become more available to the amount of times my infant was asked to be picked up (kicked out of daycare for the day) keep in mind I am a nurse in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic. This daycare had no concerns for the well being of my child before, during, or after this crisis occurred. As a child of this daycare and a parent of child who attended this daycare I absolutely do NOT recommend this money hungry business for your child. **Also recently was informed of his teacher specifically targeting my child, isolating him, and putting her finger in his face/ chest and calling him a bad kid. Ms Elizabeth should NOT BE ALLOWED AROUND CHILDREN.** read more

I love it here. Took a bit of a break through COVID but excited to return. They have a great attitude and really keep the kids on schedule with fun activities and learning. Glad to have them. read more

We have been trusting Luv N Care with our son for over five years and now he is part of their after school program. All of the teachers have shown him great respect and taught him so much as he's developed and grown through out the years. Lisa, Sandra and everyone in the front office have always been amazing and feel like family. We would highly recommend Luv N Care at Huebner to anyone looking for a place to take care of their children. read more

This child care center is attempting to charge us (parents) a full week of tution for last week when the center was CLOSED due to the weather. Even though they sent an email saying refer to the parent handbook about the charge, it doesn't state anywhere in the handbook about paying when the center is closed other than for holidays. (Yes we have pay the full week even when they open for 3 days). Ms. Stephanie told me "well I am saying it". They are telling us that we have to pay because they need to pay the teachers and their was damage to the building (gym). It seems to me that is a insurance claim rather than charging the parents. read more

Very negative experience with luv & care on Huebner, many times when I went to pick up my boy, after searching through about half of the facility, found the kids were in the classroom by themselves( my boy was 2). Not only that, my boy often told me one of the teachers so lapped his hand. they don't care about the kids, the teachers just let the kids watch TV all the time, I don't know how much interaction the kids get. Very bad experience, I would not recommend this daycare. I will definitely not go back to them ! read more

I have grown to really love this place. The center is very accommodating. Sandra the director is great and when I was going through a difficult time being a new single mom she answered on a Saturday. I have come in there with frustration about things I needed for baby that I didn't realize, for example new nipples for bottles. But the teachers were patient with me. They are taking precautions to make sure the children stay safe by using their mask all times and taking temperatures not to mention having the place clean and inspected my germx experts. Lisa is another great force there making sure everything is up and running and will always make calls just in case anythingis happening. The children have activities and the teachers even send you information through the smart app to provide updates throughout the day for your child and piece of mind. I would say it is a really great daycare but I don't think that would do just because its almost like a second home. Without them I wouldn't be able to work as an essential worker. Luv n care huebner Y'ALL ROCK!!!!! read more

This is a great daycare facility full of caring and loving staff and teachers. They have awesome events for the kids (we really enjoyed the Halloween event particularly!) and my son comes home with new words, ideas and information each day. He loves going and I am sad we are leaving, which is only due to its location not being close enough to our new house! My son loved their Wednesday and Friday water days during the summer as well! Excellent facility and you cannot go wrong sending your own kids here. read more

My son has been at Luv n Care for almost 2 years. He has amazing teachers that take care of him. He has learned so much not to mention the help with potty training. That rocks! The front office staff is very friendly and welcoming each day. I would recommend Luv n Care to all of my friends. T.H. read more

Yelp deems my original review unworthy of showing on the page, so I'm updating in hope of bringing attention to it and the other 10 five-star reviews buried in the "not recommended reviews" section. Overall very happy with this place, I like the staff, and my daughter likes them too. No major problems like reported in some of the other reviews. read more

I started at the Luv N Care off Gathering Oak when my son was 8 weeks old. During this time, he has had several teacher changes. I never really noticed the staffing changes, but just attributed it to the nature of business. It wasn't until I had an issue with the care of my son, did I realize exactly what was going on. The assistant director of the center is a textbook narcissist. It was during a personal conversation with her and the director (at the time) in which I accurately guessed her age did the "relationship" between us diminish. How sad is that! There was an incident that I questioned her about how my son got a bruise on his face in front of her "staff of her drinking buddies" when she lied to the previous director about something that I had said I front of a parent. That parent approached me later and asked what happened because he hadn't heard anything from the conversation and wanted to make sure his son was safe. I reported this blatant lie to corporate, but as you can imagine with someone who has worked in the same place for as many years, as she has, she knows exactly who to show out in front of and who not to. It wasn't until she aggressively followed me to my car after I stopped a conversation with her, in front of the owner of LNC were my concerns with her heard. Basically, I was told to ignore her, yet she continued to go out of her way to coax me every single day when I dropped my son off by making sure she agitated the situation more. Her teachers, whom I know once cared for my child, began letting him sit there crying for food until I showed up and when I picked him up he started looking more and more dirty. His face wasn't wiped off, they wouldn't change his clothes, they didn't care anymore. Here are just a few examples of what happened to my son in the short time we were there: 1. Several times, I had to remind the staff that after my child ate baby food, that they had to date the baby food and store it in the refrigerator. 2. Linens are not changed weekly per licensing requirements and babies were allowed to use boppy pillows without covers. This happened 5-6 times over the course of 8 months. Most recently on 6/3/19 when I told the new director about the problem and the fact that my son had been exposed to pink eye several different times, her response was that "she keeps pink eye medication on hand for herself, because stuff like that happens". 3. The bathrooms didn't have paper towels for several days during the weeks of May 20th and June 6th. 4. I picked up my child with unexplained bruises on (3) separate occasions and one of those times it left my child with a burst ear drum in April 2019. 5. They use the Smartcare app, but on several occasions they have "issues with the internet" or with the app and can't tell me with accuracy when my child has eaten, been changed and even when my child is crying when I pick him up, this means he is being neglected from the feeding schedule provided to the teachers. 6. According to the handbook babies must be sent home if they have a temp of under the arm 100.4 and are vomiting, they took his temp under his arm (at 9 months old) and it was 99.5 and he was spitting up. The front office called and told me he had a 102 temperature (because they added degrees?) and told me he was throwing up. I took him immediately to the Doctor's office, where they did a full exam and told me that babies spit up and his temp was 99.5. Attributed it to teething. This cost me a day of work and pay. 7. It was told to the center on several occasions that I needed him to be offered a 4 oz bottle at 5pm. This was written on his feeding schedule and since we lived 30 mins away from the center, this was super important. I had to consistently tell them that his feeding schedule needed to be followed and that he needed a bottle at 5. I would say I had to remind them every single week at least 2 times a week for the last 8 months that he needed that 5 pm feeding. 8. The last and final straw was the fact that they closed due to the power outage on 6/7/19 but failed to relay that information to the parents in a timely manner. It wasn't until I was at the center to drop my son off did, they let me know that they center would be closed. I was told that I needed to continue to call throughout the day to check for updates and the last update was given at 4:45pm saying that they had restored power an hour prior but hadn't been available by phone before or after. 10. Teachers being consistently out of State Ratio, i.e. babies under 11 months a maximum of 4 children per 1 daycare staff. All in all, Retaliation/Neglect was then taken out on my 9-month-old son for her own sick pleasure. Not only would I not recommend this daycare, I would recommend that this individual be seen by a trained medical professional. Retaliation against a 9-month-old is ridiculous. read more

Our tour guide was Sandra, she was nice! She is the director was quite a salesperson! She sold us on the amenities of the center like the swimming pool, computer room, amazing nutritious meal plans for kids and how several teachers have been there for 17+ years just like herself! We enrolled our children in February. By July they were withdrawn from the center. Here is our experience. My daughter was in the 4 year old class with a tenured teacher named Ms. Elizabeth. Sandra the director raved about her tenure and did mention that she was a "firm" teacher but was well loved by parents. My 4 year old would be dropped off daily and was never greeted by the teacher Ms. Elizabeth. No "hello," no hug, "definitely didn't talk to us parents unless we initiated it. She had teacher assistants in her class and the turn-around with the assistants was unbelievable! No teacher stayed in her class for longer than 3 weeks. Twice the assistants told me verbatim that they could't work with Ms. Elizabeth because she was so unpleasant. The curriculum was standard but I didn't like that there was no music in the class. Children didn't sing. So sad because our previous daycare incorporated music but not at this center. My 4 year old told me on an almost daily basis that her teacher is mean, yells a lot, and is grumpy. She also said that she was grabbed a few times and looking back I wish I would've investigated that claim instead of doubting my child. My son was in the 18 month class with "Ms. Bina". Also a very tenured teacher with about 17 years at the center. it is the same thing. Not very friendly, her face like Ms. Elizabeth's is just the face of a teacher who is absolutely miserable. The turn around in the class with her assistants was also ridiculous. New assistants on a weekly basis. This teacher Ms. Bina also missed a lot of days at school. She'd be gone for weeks at a time. My 18 month old came home several times, 5-10 to be exact with unexplained bumps and bruises on his arms and body. When I would ask teachers what happened a typical explanation was "I don't know, I wasn't here yesterday." So of course no accident reports were ever sent home. Just unexplained injuries. Two were bruises on his arm and they were the size of an adult thumb print. The week I saw that bruise I knew something wrong was happening in that class. I walked in on a teacher grabbing my son and slamming him on the floor. I had my daughter with me, rap music was blasting in the class and several babies including my son were crying. I withdrew him the next day. Other oddities from this center are; -the "cleanliness" of the center. It smells decent but my children were CONSTANTLY sick with revolving ear infections. I'd never experienced so much illness with them in such a short amount of time. They spend 8-10 hours a day at daycare and I know the facility is full of disease and bacteria. There were always notices of sick children and it was very unusual. They left the center in July and have not been sick at all ever since! And a heads up, if you have sick kids who need medication on a certain schedule the center WILL NOT accommodate that. Their policy is "your kids take meds at 10a and 2pm. if that doesn't work, too bad." -The tenured teachers- as mentioned, they may be tenured but i've never seen such miserable looking women in my life and leaving my kids in their care broke my heart. -accident reports and lice. This is an issue. They do not issue accident reports. If you have a question about an injury your child came home with, do not expect an explanation. I know of a former teacher who disclosed that at staff meetings, these reports and reports of head lice SHOULD NOT BE SHARED WITH PARENTS. Why? Well the retention with families keep their kids there at the center is low. They want to keep the business going so they purposely do not like to send home bad news so they don't scare away parents. -the "nutritious meal program" is just not what it's made up to be. All I will say is take home a copy of the menu and see for yourself. For example, breakfast is cereal about 4 days a week. the cereal was usually sugary like fruit loops. No fresh fruit ever. just canned and drenched in syrup. -computer room is for show and was never used. the swimming pool is an extra charge during summer time. Please do not leave your children there. their tuition rates are comparable so find another place. I don't have time to even do this review, it's not me being petty. I'm just a concerned mother who experienced everything first hand and I'm trying to prevent other kids from being put through this and getting hurt. read more

My kids spent 3 weeks here, and I pulled them out at several different incidents. I had a good recommendation on this place, so I wanted to give it a fair shot, but I was very much disappointed. Don't leave your kids here unless they are old enough to tell you what's going on - and even then, I wouldn't trust these people with your kids. 1. First sign - my 4 year old (who loves being around other kids) would cry and scream when I'd leave her here, and the "teacher" would just sit there and watch, not welcoming her at all. I got the feeling she hated kids and her job. 2. One day when I was picking up the 18 month old, I saw his "teacher" drag another toddler by the elbow to a corner where she was in time out. Those adults should NOT be touching the kids like that. 3. THE LAST STRAW - The 18 m/o got a fever one day at day care, and the front office called my cell phone and left a message that he had a 103 fever and needed to be picked up. I was teaching a class that day, so I didn't get the message until 3 hours later, but I assumed that they had called my husband and he had gotten him. Come to find out that they didn't call anyone else, even though there were FOUR OTHER PHONE NUMBERS listed that they could have called, my husband and my parents who are only 5 minutes away. Instead he sat there with a high fever for 3 hours . When I asked the front desk, they said they we so busy that it slipped her mind and she was sorry. Um, that is ridiculously irresponsible to say the least. The worst part is that his sister had febrile seizures, so we are very careful about fevers in this family, and I can't believe that a simple phone call or 3 when a child is so sick is too difficult for them to do. Not only that, but when my kids were here, they had 3 different viruses in 3 weeks, which now makes sense - they just let sick kids stay there and spread it around. DON'T PUT YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!! I don't know how this place stays in business, but be very wary. read more

The greatest Daycare ever!! My daughter is 4 and before we found Luv and care Hubner, we had tried 3 other daycares.

I recommend luv and care Hubner to everyone who asks about a quality honest clean well organization facility! We are so proud to be part of the luv and care family!

Luv-n-Care Child Development Centers - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My toddler has now been at LuvN care Shavano for some time and I am absolutetly pleased and impressed. She only attends 3 days per week but I often pop in to grab or refill supplies and no matter when I come in I notice the staff is friendly and upbeat genuinely pleased to be the kids. Front staff member even proudly declared the other day "oh of course!! I know all the students by their first name!" To me this is an absolute reflection of an amazing Director who i can only assume works hard to care as much about her staff as she does about the children they care for. Fr0m a grateful mommy...Thank you LuvnCare/ Shavano Team for truly LUVnCARING for my baby!! read more

My daughter was at primrose before and they were good but luv n care @ wilderness oaks is GREAT! Friendly staff and great teachers. Mrs Rose and Mr Matt is awesome! read more

EDIT - I no longer recommend this company. The way corporate handles their staff is just plain wrong. When corporate stays out of the way, this place runs well. More than once I saw the owner make decisions that were not appropriate (wanted children under 2 to watch television) or safe for children (didn't follow guidelines consistently when it came to COVID exposure - literally told the directors to let children come in with known exposure and early on with known travel to hot spots) and make director changes without any notice to staff and families. Our children are not a business - we are not trusting a business with our greatest treasures - it is the people and the relationships built that make us trust and leave our kids. And when corporate breaks our trust (and won't return emails or phone calls to discuss), then I cannot and will not leave my child with them. It's unfortunate, we loved it here. read more

Love the staff! My kids have been enrolled at Luv N Care on Gathering Oak for 2 1/2 years. We love it there! The teachers and management of the facilility are all so sweet and they genuinely care about the kids educational and emotional fulfillment. We have such great peace of mind knowing that our children are safe and HAPPY! Our oldest completed the Pre K program last year. He left the classroom, not only prepared but so excited to start Kindergarten at his new school (an adjustment that we were anxious about to be honest)! We were so happy to learn that Luv N Care would begin picking up at Cibolo Green Elementary! read more

This place is terrible. Teachers are always quitting or getting fired because the office staff treats them so bad. Teachers are always asking for help with their class because they get over loaded with kids, but never get the help they need. The office staff is very rude, and hard to deal with. I would never put my kids in this daycare. read more

The worst experience I have ever had at a daycare. Very unprofessional staff. Child came home with large bug bites and when I asked about bug spray they stated, "If it bothers you so much, then bring him some." Also another staff member asked me "Have you thought about getting his tested for ADHD?" My son is 3 years old...Refuse to work with children who struggle with adjusting to new places. Staff stigmatizes parents who dont fit a certain description or look. They also let your child isolate in the corner, without attempting to get them engaged in their activities. Would not recommend. You will sit at work wondering if your child is being taken care of. read more

Worst experience with my two year old. They don't wash their hands between diaper changes.and one teacher was grabbing him hard from both arms against the wall. He was crying all the time. I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Luv N Care has been a wonderful experience for our family. Minimal staff turnover compared to other child care centers and they are able to recall small details specific to each child which makes a parent feel like they truly get to know each child beyond just being a headcount. Each teacher we've had along the way has been caring and nurturing and they regularly pop their heads out to say hello to the kiddos in the mornings and afternoons. The front office staff has always been extremely helpful, as well. They came out each morning and afternoon for months, rain or shine, to help me load and unload my twins so I wouldn't have the added task of using my stroller to get in and out of the building. This was a life saver and definitely beyond their call of duty and they did it with a smile. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking out child care. We look forward to many more enjoyable years here! read more

We have had our son at Luv N Care @ Wilderness Oak for over 1 year now and we love it. The teachers and front office staff are friendly, loving and very welcoming. We have been to a couple of day cares in the past and think our son is really learning so much more from Luv N Care's curriculum. We would definitely recommend it to friends and family. read more

I love this day care! Luv-n-Care is a nurturing facility whose staff strives to engage the children in learning activites that stimulate cognitive and emotional growth. The office staff goes above and beyond to keep us informed about events happening in the classroom and the center. read more

My kids have been going to Luv N Care since they were 18 and 3 mos old (they're now 10 and 8). I have always been extremely happy with their care at the center and with the teachers and office staff. Both kids have had so many fun experiences here and have also learned a great deal as well. From the baby rooms to the after school program, the level of care and education has more than met my hopeful expectations. I never once felt concerned about whether the kids were happy or being looked after properly. When accidents or small incidents did happen the staff dealt with the issues promptly, professionally and compassionately. I have nothing but great memories of the many things that the kids participated in at the center, like their yearly Xmas recital, Thanksgiving family luncheon, the Fiesta parade, the Halloween haunted house, and Dr Seuss birthday event to name a few. I also loved the educational events they had like the preschool Spelling Bee, the Science project presentation and the various "school projects" the kids did. The summer camps were just as excellent with many, many field trips to Sea World, Fiesta TX, the Children's museum, the movies, the Aquarium, and the Silver Stars games to name a few. I can recall so many wonderful experiences that the kids had coming to Luv n Care, all I can say is that I feel extremely lucky that we discovered the daycare when we did. read more

My grandson started at this daycare about 1 month ago and compared to the other 2 daycares previously I have to say these teachers and staff ARE THE BEST!!! They are caring and good to the kids. They actually play with them as well not just leave them to play alone with the other kids. When I call to check on my grandson, I always get good vibes and the staff are always very helpful and nice on the phone. My grandson is learning more than he did at any other daycare. I love that this daycare request school supplies because they actually work with the kids. Miss Claire and Miss Emily are very good teachers. They love the kids and work with them. The facility is the best facility I have seen. My grandson is 2 and a half and he loves to go to school and see his friends and teachers. Jackie, Emily, and Claire are good warm hearted people and I appreciate all they have done to welcome us and my grandson into this school. THANK YOU FOR BEING GOOD ROLE MODELS. Please don't just read the bad experiences on this blog. Check out the facility for yourself. Our best experience yet!!!!!! Thank you Luv-N-Care to taking care of our children. read more

Great daycare!! My son has attended Luv-N-Care since he was 2 months old (he is almost 4 now), We have so appreciated the love and support the teachers have shown our son over the years. We are so grateful for their caring staff and the emphasis placed on education and preparing them for pre-k. The Front office staff is great and always quick to respond! Sad that we will have to move our son to a different daycare closer to where we live, because Luv-N-Care doesn't pick up from his elementary school. I will be forever grateful for all they have taught my son, thank you!!! read more

Both of my kids started at LNC Huebner Rd as infants. I searched several daycares and LNC had the least amount of licensing deficiencies on TX DFPS website. And after being there 7 years, I know why. Sandra, Liz, Lisa, and Brenda in the office and all the teachers have always been concerned about my childrens' needs. They provide such a loving, nurturing environment. My oldest now attends Summer camp for school-aged kids and loves it! Mr Zeke, Ashley, Michael are very caring and make each day fun. The curriculum is outstanding and well-prepared my kids for elementary. The environment provides growth for my kids socially, academically and emotionally. It is a wonderful place with wonderful staff and teachers. I can't say enough good things! read more

My son graduated from the kinder program this past school year and it was great. The graduation ceremony far surpasses any of the others I have seen. The kinder program is enforced by a curriculum coordinator and I have found much of what my son is learning this year mirrors what was taught at LNC. Great choice! read more

My oldest daughter has attended luv n care since she was 3, she is now 6. I was a stay home mom and decided to go back to work so I needed child care. I was very scared and hoping I was making the right decision. Well I did make the right choice. The staff the teachers welcomed my daughter. Once my second child came along I didn't sought that she would attend luv n care as well. She started at 18 mo and has learned so much and looks forward to going. Great place for kids. It's always a happy environment!! I love it! read more
