    We're relocating our family to Northern Virginia, and leaving Austin Children's Academy is…read moregenuinely one of the hardest parts of this move. Our son Benjamin has been a student here, and the growth we've watched in him during his time at ACA has been incredible. The teachers and staff didn't just teach Benjamin important skills like potty training and using utensils on his own -- they did it with so much patience and care that he hit these milestones happily and confidently. As a parent, watching your child grow through these big "firsts" is special, and we always felt like ACA's team was as invested in those moments as we were. What really sets this school apart is the sense of family. From the teachers to the entire staff, everyone made us feel like we belonged to a community, not just a daycare. Benjamin was loved and cared for every single day, and that kind of warmth is hard to find. If you're considering ACA for your child, don't hesitate. We are beyond grateful for everything this school has done for Benjamin and our family, and we'll carry these memories with us wherever we go. Thank you, ACA -- you'll always have a piece of our hearts.

    Key issue: -My child was bit so hard there was a puncture…read morewound and blood drawn and nothing was done about it and then my son was the one kicked out I'm sure this used to be a well run facility based on the reviews from 5 years ago, but sadly it seems the quality has declined. The first big issue is the apparent inability to keep teachers. In the last 7 months, my son has had 7 teachers for the same age group (2-3) and multiple floaters. 4 of those teachers quit because the conditions and lack of staff support were so bad they couldn't deal anymore (I was told this directly by the ex-teachers) The second big issue (the biggest if you ask me) is the violence of the children that attend the center and the lack of discipline. My son has been bitten multiple times while he's attended there. Each time it occurred and I was made aware, I asked what steps would be taken to make sure it doesn't keep happening and I get told, with loads of attitude, that kids bite and it's an unfortunate thing that happens. In an effort to keep this already long review from turning into a novel, I will specify the most recent occurrence in where my son was bit on his back by another child so hard that it broke skin and bled and then MY son was the one who was told he was no longer welcome at this center (don't worry, we weren't planning to return anyway). I wasn't informed of the bite until I arrived at the school, and learned that an incident report hadn't been filled out yet. The teacher had plenty to say to me about how awful the situation was and how bad she felt and that the same child who bit has been violent recently with kicking and hitting and pinching (though of course management told me that I forced the teacher to say these things because I flustered her so bad when she was telling me how my son got bit. Makes sense right?) I go find the manager and express my frustration at the situation and ask that the owner/director and the other child's parent be contacted about it (because the other child had left and his parents weren't informed at the time of pickup). The manager told me to wait in the office and she would be in there in a minute to call. Multiple minutes go by and the manager never came into the office so I go to find the manager and find her yelling at the teacher for giving me information. I then ask if she was able to contact the owner/director and she said no they left for the day and then I asked if she was able to contact the parent and she said no, I can't force people to answer their phones. I requested a copy of the incident report and was told no, I was not able to have one. I admit, I was definitely upset with the situation. My reaction was completely appropriate considering my son had a puncture wound from another child's teeth. Which brings me to the fun part. I received a call from the director the next morning and was told she was calling me because of the scene I caused the night before. Apparently the manager told her I was screaming and yelling and causing a scene. Now if you've met me, you'll know I am extremely loud at all times unintentionally. I happen to be one of those annoying people that talks loudly and doesn't seem to understand volume control even in the serenest of situations. Having a loud voice does not equal yelling, except in the case when a manager is lying to make herself look better in a situation she escalated due to her extreme rudeness. The director also said the manager claimed I was demanding phone numbers for the owner/director and demanding that the parent be called back up to the school. Both claims I vehemently denied because they absolutely did not happen. (Which can be corroborated by the multiple employees who heard the whole conversation and one of whom came up to me after and said they would be just as upset if it happened to their child and nothing was done about it). Of course the director likely didnt believe me over her manager because I'm the person causing problems and I had already been informed previously by an ex-employee that management did not like me because I "caused issues" by advocating for my sons safety. I was then told my son wasn't welcomed back and we needed to part ways. Of course after all of this occurred, I had multiple people come out of the woodwork with similar horror stories of the way they and their children were treated by this center and I only wish I had been thoroughly warned before trusting this place with my child. If you've had a pleasant experience with this facility, I am thrilled that happened for you and I hope nothing happens otherwise. It's a horrible feeling to be belittled and made out to be a liar when you are just trying to do what is best for your child at a place where you pay them to care for your children. (If anyone is interested in references or screenshots to corroborate the above information, I am happy to provide upon request)

    I have been very happy with this place for my twin boys. When I first signed my kids up at happy…read moretrails, I was in a bit of a bind and needed to make a transition from another preschool quickly. The school worked diligently with me to get both of my kids in quicker than what I anticipated they would be able to. Biting and bullying are things that are just absolutely going to happen at any daycare or preschool. However, I can say that anytime there has been an issue with another kid bullying them or picking on them, I have felt completely comfortable speaking to the staff about it and my concerns have been addressed. On the other side of that coin, whenever the staff have experienced issues with my children miss behaving or acting inappropriately, they talk to me about it and notify me of the behavior so that I can do my job as a parent to address the problem. My boys love going to school at happy trails and are very happy with their teacher as well as the administrators. I would definitely recommend happy trails!

    We are deeply disappointed after having our kid enrolled at this school for 2 months. We found kids…read moreare not treated with affection and forced to do activities (noticed this in many pictures shared by school). After giving full 2 months of time, they couldn't make him feel comfortable and he used to cry a lot. He goes well with his nanny, grandparents and neighborhood folks. Even new nanny can make him comfortable and happy in a day. School doesn't have live monitoring and we don't know how they treat young kids. When we asked what they do to make him feel better, we got generic responses(like we are trying) and they used to put blame on the kid. 18 month old shouldn't be blamed like this. Hope school should take this feedback to improve by showing some affection to little kids and hire better competent teachers instead of just running it as a business.

    Our son started out at Goddard for Pre-school and it was one of the best decisions we've made as…read moreparents. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the dedicated staff. The environment is truly nurturing, stimulating, and filled with opportunities for growth and exploration. The teachers at are exceptional in every sense of the word. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child receives personalized attention and maternal support, this was a big one for me. From the colorful classrooms to the spacious outdoor play areas, every aspect of the school is designed with the well-being and development of the students. The admin and support staff are super friendly and keep you actively updated with regular updates and opportunities to engage in our child's educational journey. We always feel informed and involved every step of the way. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves going to school every day. His excitement and enthusiasm are a testament to the positive impact that this school has had on his early years. In summary, I cannot recommend the Goddard School - Morningstar highly enough!
