When we were looking for a school for my daughter many years ago, I knew the moment I met the staff…read moreand felt the vibe on campus that Casa was the place we'd want her to be. My oldest completed 3 years there, staying through her kindergarten year, then moved to our neighborhood elementary. Her experience was absolutely wonderful, and I only wish they had an elementary school as well. However her transition to public school has been seamless and I credit Casa for giving her such a strong emotional and intellectual foundation. My youngest goes there now as well. Casa is a loving and caring community, it is the kind of bubble of childhood innocence that you want your child to be in during the tender ages of 3-6. I believe that Casa has fostered independence, confidence, and creativity in my children. My kids do things at home like dishes and folding that are definitely not the types of tasks I would have thought they could do, and they enjoy it because it's doing real work, and they are comfortable challenging themselves. The gift casa has given me is to help me realize that my children are capable of so much more at a young age than I would have ever thought possible. And I feel that the parents who choose to send their kids there have similar values a us, which is great as we have become close with several families. Don't be scared off by the possibility of a long waiting list. Get in touch with the amazing staff and get the details for yourself.

Although I really don't enjoy writing such a harsh review - this place went out of it's way to…read moredeserve it. From the attitude ("our school is typically booked years in advance, so you're very fortunate to have my time") to the inadequate understanding of Montessori methodology to the fact that there is only 1 actual teacher (and a $5/hr assitant) for classes of 28 students. Suffice to say, there were 3 teachers all out today which should say something about the dedication towards those poor kids in the program. And to top it all off, the director actually had the audacity to harshly scold our 3 yr old son for leaning up against the wall with one shoe back, making him cry. Simply put, this school is a complete scam which only has students due to the great location and the fact that most parents are suseptible to the fact that "waitlists" equal great programs. Please be warned!

You want them to socialize, but you don't want them to be in a herd. You want someone to love them like a family member or BETTER. You want to incorporate structure but not rigidity. You want them to appreciate nature and be eager to try things. Most importantly, you want them to be safe. Don't look any further than Casa. There's just enough communication (no weird videoing or instant notifications). There's just enough structure. PLUS your baby will be exposed to another language on a daily basis. No they won't get confused. They will be more tidy and aware than you are so be careful! Great school, great employees, great location. Warning: you're going to love it!

Highly recommend to any parent looking for a warm, trustworthy place in south Austin for their little ones!

As a first-time mom, I was extremely cautious about who I trusted to watch her, so having that feeling of safety with the school meant a lot to me. The center is a small, family-owned place, and the staff is amazing and very loving toward the children. My daughter is about to turn three and loves coming every day. She has flourished throughout the years of being here. She can count, knows her colors, and is a social little butterfly. I can't be more thankful to the teachers who have my daughter daily and help her grow. Bright Kids has been a wonderful environment for her development, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and safe place for their child.

I cannot say enough good things about ABCDee Learning Center…read more We have really been through the ringer with daycares for our daughter, who had temporary hearing loss for a year resulting in a speech delay, and a later diagnosis of mild/moderate autism. While searching for new childcare for her and our one year old son after our old daycare closed due to Covid, we were so incredibly lucky to come across ABCDee. Alison is very communicative and always has the kids best interests at heart. The center is clean, safe, and the staff is incredible and very loving of all the children. They provide meals, diapers, and wipes, which really takes some of the stress off of childcare. They use the Brightwheel app, so we always get pictures of the kids throughout the day, as well as messages and questions about anything going on. The best daycare we've been to in Austin (and as I said, we've been to a lot). I cannot recommend ABCDee enough for your kiddos.

We are so glad that we found ABCDee for our daughter. She is our first child and the experience of…read morehaving to find a place to send her after my maternity leave was very stressful. I toured multiple places around Austin, and none of them fit the bill. They were either too expensive for the "value" they provided, the location was unsafe, or the teachers seemed to not give two s**** about your child. When we toured ABCDee, both my partner and I left teary eyed, we felt such a huge relief feeling confident about where we were sending her everyday. Now, a year later and it wasn't a honeymoon phase. Every classroom, every teacher, all the staff (especially Ms. Maria - home cooked meals and snacks EVERYDAY), have exceeded our expectations. We had the sad thought today of "but what about when she has to go to elementary school", we don't want her to leave!!! Knowing that your child is loved and cared for when they can't be with you is a gift we would pay any price for. Alison and Connie run a great school. Thank you for all that you do!! We love y'all.

Class sizes are small and every teacher there knows my children, even if they were not their specific teacher, which makes me feel like we are a part of a family. Facility is always clean, bright and comfortable. The staff are always smiling and genuinely happy to see the kids. They are open and willing to accommodate to my children's dietary needs and allow cloth diapering. My daughter attended for 4 years and loved every minute. She wanted to get there early and stay late every day. She is currently 9 years old and going into 4th grade. She is a TAG student and does well in all her classes. My son is 4 and is a current student. He loves his teachers and comes home everyday with proud stories of what he learned and the fun time he had with his teachers and friends. He comes home saying new Spanish words every week and seems to be understanding more and more since he first started 2 years ago. All of the achievements and happiness that my children have experienced while at the Ivy International School is because of the knowledgable and warm hearts of the staff which pours down from the top. Esmeralda, the director, always has a smile on her face to greet the children when they arrive. She clearly communicates upcoming deadlines and events. And is in the classrooms daily to help out wherever needed whether that means to clean a spill, assist a teacher or wipe a butt. When times were hard for us as a family, she was understanding, flexible and a great support for both myself and my daughter. I recently moved to Round Rock and the drive takes me 30-45 mins on some days but I wouldn't have it any other way because I know it is what is best for my child.

If I could give a million stars of appreciation, it would not be enough for this excellent staff. Thank you with all my heart to this great school.

Admittedly, I knew very little about the Montessori program before we enrolled him at the Bee Cave location, but my family highly recommends it for your little one. My son was challenged, engaged and LOVED going to school everyday. His teachers Ms. Kaci and Mr. Joshua are amazing, smart, compassionate, fun (we had exposure to other educators there as well and think very highly of them too). Their director, Ms. Kate is intelligent and runs this location beautifully. The value is comparable to other private schools we toured in the Lakeway area, but I found their team warmer and their curriculum to be superior. I am forever thankful we found our way to this school!

He loves going each day so that makes me feel confident leaving him in their care. Would definitely recommend TLLC if you're looking for a part time childcare situation.
