This is a wonderful preschool / mother's day out program. Both of my children (ages 3 and 5)…read morestarted here at age 18 months. The teachers are wonderful and caring (most are mothers of children attending the program) and the curriculum is fun and engaging. The class size is small so each child gets the attention you would want them to have. Every time I dropped off my kids, they were each lovingly welcomed by their teacher. I always left feeling my kids were going to safe and that they were going to have fun. When I picked them up, this was always the case. The building is old but there are plans for improvements and upgrades. Please don't discount this program because of the site or location. It is a wonderful place for your children. We have since moved out of Austin and use our experience with St. Mark's as a standard while looking for a new preschool.

My son has been attending St. Mark's for about a year - he started at 18 months and has really…read moreenjoyed his time so far with the toddler class. He is absolutely in love with Ms. Bonny and Ms. Suzanne (I'm sure he will miss them next year!) and always comes home with new words, phrases, a joyous smile - and ready for nap time :) The facilities are clean and there are lots of activities to keep him occupied (plus a really great playground out back). There are lots of opportunities to get involved if you want - monthly events for kids/parents, lectures from parenting experts, Mother's Day breakfast, etc. but these are also entirely optional. Like many of the parents, we are not part of the church or any religious community but have never felt that this was an issue in any way (as one other reviewer also noted). At the end of the year, we received a beautiful photo album with photos and artwork from throughout the year; it was so touching to know that they had collected these moments/memories with this final project in mind and I think is symbolic of how children and parents are treated here. I know my son is not only well taken care of but also cherished as a little human being and am so grateful for the wonderful staff who make him feel loved. I found the place thanks to Yelp and noticed there are not a lot of recent reviews so here I am - if you're lucky enough to get a spot here, don't hesitate to enroll!

Our daughter went to Little Folks from age 5 months to 3 years old (with some interruptions due to…read morethe pandemic). We moved out of state last year and we miss Little Folks so much! You won't find more caring or wonderful teachers around. Everyone cares a lot about the kids and they really bond with them, they do fun activities, and have healthy meals provided. Our daughter really loved going here every day.

We've been with Little Folks for a year. I love it, and best of all, my daughter loves it. One of…read morethe perks of starting her here was how she learned to push in her chair at the table, wash her hands, and say please and thank you. It's the little things she comes home with that really make it worthwhile. This is a professional operation, but you still feel like part of a family, which is a tough balance to strike. The school is clean and organized, and classroom routines are clear. For all the worry I had about my toddler coming down with daycare-itis every few weeks, she's hardly been sick, and nothing has been major - just sniffles. I attribute this to the cleanliness of the school and their hand washing routines. Happy to say little brother will be starting here, too!

I can not say enough good things about Hannah's World. My 2&1/2 year old daughter started going…read morelast year, when it was a Mother's Day Out, 2 days a week. When I heard they were transitioning to a daycare, I was very excited. My daughter goes 3 days a week now and LOVES it! Actually, she doesn't want to leave! If it were up to her, she'd go every day! The classroom is fun, engaging, clean, well-organized and all the staff is very nurturing. Hannah is very caring, she is a great teacher and director. She has an excellent staff. I am so grateful for the personal and sincere care that my daughter receives at Hannah's World. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for truly exceptional childcare.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the teachers and staff at Hannah's World. My eldest…read morehas been attending since the very beginning, my middle child was attending from the earliest he could, and my youngest will attend once she's born and able. The staff is so kind and caring and treat each child as their own. We love each teacher and have grown to become great friends with each one of them. The admin staff work extremely hard to provide the best in childcare, Hannah herself is dedicated to fundraising to add staff and amenities so that each child can enjoy their time at daycare even more. Their communication is top notch, especially throughout the coronovirus pandemic, I've always felt informed about what was going on with the school and how they're making changes to keep everyone safe. I could go on and on, but if you're wanting a daycare who will love your children as much as you do then look no further than Hannah's World.

We absolutely love Bright Horizons at Braker Lane! The communication is excellent, the staff is…read moretop-notch, and the classrooms and playgrounds are clean and spacious. The program is fantastic, with lots of activities and nutritious meals! Our toddler loves it here. We receive constant updates and photos throughout the day, so we know how much fun he's having while we're at work! His teachers are amazing--very caring, creative, and attentive. They always communicate any concerns and give great advice. Initially, we were unsure of what to expect because of our previous experiences with daycares, but all our anxiety disappeared once we started at Bright Horizons! Highly recommend.

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.

Austin Play Garden is the absolute best place to send your child! My daughter attended starting at…read more12 weeks old, and every teacher truly treated her like family. Hannah (the director), as well as all the teachers learned her quirks, personality, and interest as she grew up there. Through our daily updates and conversations, it was so clear that the staff really knew her and cared -- she was never just a number. They would even check in on her when she was out sick. I always knew she was safe there. I love that it's a play-based preschool, so the kids can learn through playing and crafts. APG was my only real "village" in Austin when raising my daughter, and they were truly a godsend. They also do a lot of things to reduce teacher turnover on the staffing side, so we hardly ever had teacher changes. I highly recommend them!

When I was pregnant I heard over and over again to "build your village". This was important to me…read morebecause we don't have any family in town. APG IS MY VILLAGE and I don't know what I would do without them. Our nugget LOVES to go to school. I'll say, "Do you want to go to school?" and he'll excitedly say, "School!" grab his lunchbox and run to the door. He comes home with new words and skills and it's so exciting to see him grow in a healthy and confident way. Thank you APG!! We love y'all!!

From the moment we joined Trinity we felt like part of the family. The teachers are absolutely…read morefabulous, and so kind. My little one really looks forward to seeing them every day. One of the standout features of this daycare is the Friday yoga for the babies. We get adorable photos sent to our app that prove just how cute this is.The arts and crafts projects are (selfishly) another highlight for me. My daughter's language is also developing quickly. She can speak Spanish phrases now (at 2 years old) which is wonderful. This place is truly a neighborhood gem and Windsor Park institution. We're beyond grateful to have found Trinity.
