A month ago Percy W. Wrote exactly what I'm going to touch base on. I've been on this waitlist for…read morea year and 3 months. They told me I was 3rd after following up 3 months after. I put a deposit and everything. I still get $0 balance invoices. I'm pretty sure they are scamming people. Taking payments that are non refundable and never returning calls. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DEPOSIT UNLESS YOUR KID IS FOR SURE IN.

We toured the facility in July and were told the wait was up to 3 months, that current teachers had…read moretheir kids there and that they had priority on the waitlist (understandable). However, they would all be moving up soon and therefore there would be openings in all the classes. We submitted a non-refundable waitlist fee of $150 (for 2 kids) on July 9th because we would be moving to Kyle in Jan. Since they never followed up I emailed them on December 8th and was told my younger child was 3rd on the list. I followed up again on Jan 12th and was told that he was now at the top of the list. I called twice in February and once again 2 weeks ago. We had to put the kids in other daycares. I called today and was told that the waitlist is longer than what I was quoted and there were people that have been on the list for 2 years. Overall not a good experience, the building is dated, and the yard is dry and bleak. The (residential) front doors can hardly be considered secure. When you enter the first thing you see is a glass wall with sun beat baby toys. If you want a daycare that will follow up and update you on the waitlist, or even return phone calls, just know it is not their policy to do so unless you are at the point of enrollment.

My 4 year old started stepping stone in March of 2024 when I decided to return to work. It was the…read moreonly daycare with availability I felt comfortable sending him to in the area. When I came to make the initial payment and the director asked if I wanted to meet his teacher I of course said yes. We went outside where the kids played and I was excited to see who he'd be with all day. Mind you, this was to be his first time ever being away from me. His teacher was young, and looked super uninterested in talking. She said hi with what I couldn't even consider a smile, and didn't say much to my son. At drop off his first day the morning teacher didn't say much either. She didn't really offer any assistance when I was trying to leave and my son was visibly scared and upset. This went on for the weeks he was there. I did not like the staff member who hung out with the kids until his teacher showed up. She said good morning and that's about it. Towards the end I think she could tell I was irritated and offered my son things to keep him occupied while I left. My overall feel was these "teachers" don't like being there. I did not like this environment. When The lighthouse opened we made the switch and it was night and day! My son was SO EXCITED for daycare because the staff is AMAZING! I got constant updates, I don't have to ask for his meals to be updated through the day, he was engaged, the teachers are engaged and happier. I would never suggest Stepping stone to anyone.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! We toured several daycares before making our decision and once we toured…read morethis establishment, we knew it was the best one in several ways. Each team member was so polite and knowledgeable. Ms Alice is the sweetest most kind hearted individual. You can truly tell she cares about each and every child there. As a first time mother, she immediately gave the reassurance that I needed to feel comfortable and confident with leaving my baby there. My baby started at just 8 weeks. The gigabyte classroom and all their teachers including Ms Dorthy, Ms Jackie, Ms Kiana, and more, showed so much love toward Jackson immediately. They surprised us with crafts and daily photos. Every day, pick up and drop off was efficient and welcoming. The monthly cost is truly worth it for the value and time that each team member bring day after day. I cannot recommend this place enough. I know Jackson is still growing and may not remember these days but, as his parents, this place and staff will hold a deep place in our heart.

We've been taking our son here for 5 months now and couldn't be happier! It was like a night and…read moreday difference from the last daycare we were at as far as the quality of attention our son receives from not only his teachers but the staff as well. We absolutely LOVE his teachers, Ms. Hailey and Ms. Storm, and the way they love on my little guy. They pay attention to the little things and it's a blessing to not have to sit at work and worry if your kid is in good hands. My son started here when he was 13 months and then we moved to the Kid Ranch's San Marcos location when he was 18 months. I love how clean they keep the building and the classrooms, how they pray with my child before meals, the artwork they do each day and best of all the app they use to keep us parents in the communication loop. It makes my day to get a picture of my son over the app during my work day, watching him play during splash days. The teachers here are happy and strong role models for the kids. The administrative staff is always available for questions from me and my husband, both at drop off and pick up. We're going to deeply miss the Kyle location as we move to San Marcos but we're confident that whatever the future holds for Kid Ranch in Kyle, it will be a good one.

I was told by the director's assistant that one of the school aged girls went up to one of her…read moreclassmates, wrapped her blanket around the classmate's neck and squeezed it as right as possible until the classmate's face turned purple. Worst part was that the directing assistant only told the parent about this in passing. The child should have been removed from the daycare but when the director herself was addressing the notion of this child being removed from the daycare, I was told that she would have no where to go. While the gentle, loving gesture of not removing the child was a nice sentiment, a child keeping another child from breathing is DANGEROUS. THE CLASSMATE WAS NOT BREATHING. The problem was not addressed appropriately and that is why I would not suggest this daycare to anyone

The Learning Experience Buda stood by our family through the most devastating chapter of our lives--My daughter's heartbreaking brain cancer journey, which ended a year ago. My daughter's greatest concern was always her little Waverly. She was the BEST MOMMA! TLE wrapped Waverly in love, stability, and unwavering support, helping her feel safe, cherished, and encouraged every step of the way. I have never encountered a school community that radiates such deep compassion, professionalism, and wholehearted dedication to every single child. Waverly has truly flourished because of your nurturing care. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for our family. We will miss you as Waverly continues her journey in Kindergarten--confident, joyful, and well prepared for whatever comes next. With extreme Gratitude and Love to a special school TLE Buda.

You can check on your kid via phone application which comes super handy, and it is always great to see them smiling.

Along with the day-to-day activities, they are always doing special things like his first day was a reptile show :) Wednesdays are splash days. Pick-up/Drop-Off is extremely easy I never waited more than a minute. This is especially amazing when you compare it with public schools Pick-up/Drop-Off process We were sad to leave The Learning Experience Buda, but it will be always a great memory.

My biggest regret as a parent is enrolling my 2 year old daughter at Stepping Stone. I still feel…read moreguilty that I did not find another option. My daughter was at another daycare for two years that we loved! No issues and no incident reports. The 7 months she was at Stepping Stone were awful. Coming home with massive bruises from bites that staff did not notice. I repeatedly emailed but she kept being bitten by multiple children. We kept waiting for Children's Lighthouse to finish being built but it was hard as an educator who provides other people's children with a safe learning environment not to have a safe place to send my toddler. The last straw was her reporting to us a teacher hit her. Pulled her immediately. Ms. Brittany did not seem surprised when we told her of our concern.

Much like all parents we want their environment to reflect that love and attentiveness. As a traveling military family we've encountered several educational platforms. Most all of them claim to provide a healthy mixture of freedom to promote creative expression while instilling strong social and academic standards. While we have enjoyed other platforms, none compare to the lighthouse. Our 2.5 year old daughter is very standoffish and slow to warm up to new enviroments. As a covid child she spends a majority of her time with her one sibling and appears to suffer from social anxiety. Our daughter was given the final say on whether she is comfortable there and her smile tells the story. Following the initial 10 days ,she lights up when we turn the corner into the parking lot. She skips as she enters the space. She greets the welcome committee at the door. She embraces both of her teachers (Bri and Megan). For a child appearing to suffer from social anxiety, this is a big deal for us. Obviously, they have an amazing curriculumn, obvioulsy they are clean and modernized. Obviously they are a secure inside and out. Obviously, they respect allergies and sensitivities. What isnt obvious is the intangible. Greeting you by name and actually remembering you is basic, they make it a point to get to know you, your child, their needs and their support group. It's genuine. You can feel it! Thank you for what you do. Bradley (Owner), Jenna (Director), Connie (Asst Director) Amber (Welcome Committee)

Our experience at Children's Lighthouse has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers here are…read moreexceptional, always going above and beyond to challenge my daughter and enhance her knowledge (even to the extent of moving her up a class early because her current class curriculum was not challenging enough for her). Janna, the director, truly has my child's best interest in mind and ensures a nurturing and supportive environment. Morning drop off is always a breeze with smiling faces and good mornings from all of the staff we see. The owner, Brad, runs a fantastic daycare that is well-organized, clean and safe. We have complete peace of mind knowing our daughter is in such capable hands. She thoroughly enjoys attending and is excited to go every morning. We feel so comfortable with her education here that we are confident there will be a flawless transition when she goes to kindergarten. Thank you to all of the staff we encounter every day for your dedication and care. We couldn't be happier with the care and education our daughter receives at Children's Lighthouse.

I have three year old triplet sons that have been going here since the beginning of June and I can't give this place enough praises. This is the first "daycare" that my kids have attended so I was very skeptical and nervous to leave my kids with anyone. The ladies here are so easy going, nice, and caring that I feel so comfortable leaving my kids here. Since I had never left my kids with anyone other than their grandma, they were very upset when we first started leaving them here. The Director would send me pictures after I left to show me that they were playing and happy literally seconds after I left. It made me feel so good that she understands a mother's concern. Now, my kids run up to this place and are so happy to be here they don't even look back! They have learned so much in the short 2 months they have been there. It's amazing! My boys will be attending pre-school at the end of August and with the help of Laugh and Learn, I can say they will be ready for this new adventure. As you can tell, I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!
