Mrs. Elena and all the other employees are sweet as can be and very attentive and caring.

They speak to him in Spanish most of the day and he always is very happy when I go to pick him up. Highly recommend : ) Veronica B./Registered Dental Hygienist and Nutritionist

They are open for long hours which is convenient for trying to balance school and work. The location is incredibly convenient with easy access from South Congress or I-35, Buda, South Austin, etc. They're flexible, recognizing and meeting specific needs of different personalities of the kids. For example on the mornings I have to drop off early for an early class, my daughter cries more, she's tired, and wants human contact. I often see one of the teachers pick her up to comfort her. My daughter is really learning so much there. I'm constantly amazed at how much she knows in terms of vocabulary, songs, motions, and she isn't even 2 yet. It means a lot to me that she is growing up hearing and learning to recognize English and Spanish as well. It seems they're always cooking something up when I get there and it smells great. I know my daughter is eating well there and everything is made with care. The owners even made a delicious brisket and sides from scratch for a Mother's Day luncheon. They're so thoughtful and help with the whole development of my child. I can't say enough good things about them.

It is hard to know what to expect from a school if you are new to schools. We just assumed the…read moreGoddard School was like all schools...but it is not. We know this now since we quit the Goddard School and started with another one about 3 miles away and have had a totally different experience. Just know that the Goddard School infant room is chaos. One of the ladies was always so flustered. Babies always, always, always crying. Bright florescent lights on constantly. Music playing all of the time. Babies just laying around on the floor. 5 month old babies "holding bottles" and "feeding" themselves. Babies in the cribs crying and not being soothed in any way. Pacifiers overused. Babies sitting looking at a mirror on the wall crying. No one ever looked happy there! Our baby was miserable and always red and swollen and voice was hoarse from crying all day. It was awful. We are so happy now that we are no longer there. My co-worker's baby had the exact same negative experience and I tried to push it out of my mind but...Trust your intuition! The Goddard School did not feel right and it was not right.

They are professional, warm, and always willing to provide additional guidance and support to us as new parents. The building and facilities feel safe, secure, and clean. This last year of global pandemic has presented the teachers and staff with so many unique challenges and they've navigated each one effectively and with grace. Deep down I know that these wonderful ladies do a much better job of taking care of my children all day than I could ever hope to do on my own. The curriculum always blows my mind and the best part is receiving photos of my kiddos throughout the day. My favorite photo was one of my son laying on the ground and painting a "fresco" onto some butcher paper taped to the bottom of a table. Seeing them learning and engaged always brings a smile to my face. Big thanks and love to all of you ladies for being there and helping us with the big and important job of raising our two sons.

After a full year at a wonderful daycare, I can confidently say that I believe Abiding Love…read moreLutheran is a substandard place to send your children. Here's why: Good daycares look like this: 1) happy, thriving kids, 2) administrators who puts kids and families first, 3) professional and communicative teachers, and 4) an open and welcoming environment. Bad daycares look like this: 1) kids who don't want to go to school or kids who are anxious when they get home from school, 2) administrators who put the interest of the institution before children and families, 3) teachers who are afraid to communicate with parents because the administration institutes such harsh parameters, and 4) classrooms with closed doors, restrictive timeframes, and zero lesson plans/schedules/weekly or monthly newsletters. If you've guessed that I'm describing Abiding Love in the third paragraph...you would be correct. Do yourself a favor. Avoid this place at all costs. Even if the administration has changed, I would guess the culture here is still toxic. The church's pastor and board do little to nothing, in my opinion, to provide oversight or a layer of accountability here.

I could not agree more with the below statement that states, "This place should not be able to…read moreteach Christian values as their leadership does not practice it at all." This statement is incredibly accurate. This Abiding Love establishment is a very anti-family establishment and pushes back hard on parents with concerns of any kind. It was truly alarming that even when taking these concerns up the chain of command, that the disorganization and poor management offer little to no support, even when offering examples of poor behavior and management by their current director. She is a true dictator who thrives off of her self-prescribed power role as a children's daycare director. She feels very entitled (as do several teachers) to dismiss parent concerns because they truly believe that they know all there is to know on child development. This could not be further from the truth, especially considering the director does not have children of her own, yet insists that she knows what is best for your child. This past winter, when other childcare facilities were going out of their way to support families during the winter storms, this facility closed it's doors, for not just one week, but for two entire weeks. This was the last straw for us. During this time, all other childcare facilities in Austin were open, but not Abiding Love. Instead of making life easier for parents and families, they knowingly made it more difficult, with zero damage to the facilities, and with lies and excuses being made along the way. If you choose this facility, just know you must be willing to drop your child off, put your head down, not ask questions, expect to fall in line, and do not expect a sense of community whatsoever.

My child was enrolled at Primrose Mueller for nearly 2.5 years. Under their first director, it was…read morean excellent school -- one we were proud to recommend. That changed about 18 months ago when they hired a new director. Since then, the school has lost 47 teachers in calendar year 2025 alone, and roughly the same number in the 7 months prior -- driven largely by her combative management style. You can verify their turnover history yourself at the Texas Health and Human Services website, particularly how it compares to COVID-era staffing. The instability has real consequences for children. I've personally walked into classrooms four separate times with ratios dramatically out of compliance -- one teacher to 20 kids. More seriously, a child was lost during a school event. These aren't minor complaints. The franchise owner, Christy Black, is largely inaccessible to parents raising concerns. She also owns the Easton Park location, which has faced similar -- if not worse -- issues, including an incident that resulted in a child being hospitalized. If you're evaluating childcare options, I can't recommend Primrose Mueller under its current leadership. Christy, you know what the problem is, and you know how to fix it. I hope you do, for the safety of every child in your care.
