Child’s Day

After in-​home care for two years and one year at a different nearby (not so awesome) school, we have been so happy with the care and professionalism at Child’s Day. Our little guy is sensitive and took time to adjust but the teachers were patient, loving, and helpful throughout his transition. He is in the Colts room and Ms Andy, Ms Katy, and Mr Trey are incredible. They have just the right combination of promoting a laid back and child driven environment while still encouraging the kids to try new things and maintaining order. The classrooms are safe, clean, and engaging. The teachers are well trained and truly seem to care about the children. We are looking forward to another year here.

Child’s Day is the best daycare my children have ever attended. We have been to several other schools (out of the area and while waiting for a spot at Child’s Day) and hands down this one is the best.
The Robins teachers, Ms. Anna, Ms. Stephanie and Mr. Harlan are amazing. Every time I go to pick up my son I learn something just by watching the teachers. Strategies for encouraging good behavior, avoiding meltdowns, potty training, you name it, they have it covered. My son, who is 3.5 years old, has learned so much and comes home telling me about so many great things he learned at school. I am so impressed!

As a first-​time mom and preschool teacher, deciding on care for my child was of upmost importance. However, I never felt any hesitancy when enrolling my son at Child’s Day in the Infant Center. The Ducklings team is outstanding, to say the least. Logan, Sonja and Melanie have the most positive and loving energy that a team could possibly have. When you enter their classroom, you can feel the sunshine exuding from each of them. They are knowledgeable, experienced and educated, but most importantly, they genuinely love each one of the kiddos in their class. Having been to two different infant care centers in Austin, I know that Child’s Day is the BEST place for my child. He knows it too – he is more happy and loves being at school every day. Thanks to the Ducklings team for being so amazing and for truly loving my child. This time that you spend with him will forever leave a lasting impression on our entire family. Much love to each of you always.

We’ve had experience with a couple of day cares in Austin and Childs Day is simply in a different league to the others. The teachers are the most dedicated, motivated, educated and loving people, all of which my girls adore and I completely trust with my children. Teacher: child ratios are among the lowest I’ve seen, especially for infants.
My youngest is in the Ducklings (since 9 months old) and oldest in the Turtles and they both genuinely love their days at school.
The school offers a fantastic mix of play based learning — lots of free play with increasing ‘structure’ as the childs gets older. My kids are both learning & developing at an astounding rate both ‘academically’ & socially.
Parents are kept well informed, updated and involved. Safety is paramount — passcode entry on every entrance. There is a real sense of community with regular external class get-​togetherness and extra activities, organized by both teachers & parents. My girls have made amazing friends there, as have we as parents.
I cannot recommend Childs Day enough. My only advice to prospective parents — get on the wait list asap, it’s popular!

I have two children at Child’s Day right now and could not be more pleased. The Kangaroo room is outstanding — Ms. Tracey, Ms. Jan, and Ms. Candace have shown wisdom, professionalism, and compassion both for my high maintenance child and for me. I value their consistency as much as I appreciate their level of skill and ability to engage with the children. I am so happy to have found this facility.

Under a tight relocation deadline, we signed our two kiddos up for Child’s Day sight-​unseen. As you can image, that was a pretty scary prospect! Luckily, we’ve been incredibly happy there. Our daughter is in the Chicks infant room and her teachers, Ms. Annie, Ms. Cindy and Ms. Camille have been nothing short of amazing. They made our daughter’s transition from stay-​at-​home so easy and I never once have worried that she isn’t getting the absolute best care. Our son is in the Turtles room and Ms. Min, Ms. Amy and Ms. Kristen have been wonderful with him. They have done a great job of nurturing his skills and interests, and his love for his teachers is evident. I highly recommend CD!

Ms. Hilary: Robins
Thank you, Hilary, for being the stabilizing force in the Robins class this year! We appreciate all that you do. Stella has truly blossomed this year. She is learning about choice & responsibility in a fun environment. She has become very social & developed real friendships. I appreciate that you recognize what Stella enjoys & you always seem to foster that behavior; yet, encourage her to participate in activities that she may not naturally gravitate toward. For me, the truest sign that Stella really enjoys her environment is when she talks about it when she’s not there. She regularly asks that I play Ms. Hilary when we’re playing in the evenings or on the weekends. So sweet!
Thank you, Hilary. You’re great!

There is no way to capture my deep appreciation and admiration of what the teacher’s a Child’s Day do for my child. She is currently in the Honey Bears classroom where Ms. Nita, Ms. Meredith, and Ms. Jermanda design and facilitate the most engaging and interesting activities for her each day. Since we enrolled her, we’ve noticed a huge increase in her language production and her problem solving skills, an amazing feat for a child who hasn’t reached 2 yet. The play based curriculum offers a balance between structured activities and exploratory play, so she’s getting a balance of «just right nudges» to spur her development. The teachers also focus on helping her learn how to engage with other children her own age. Perhaps what’s most remarkable is that my daughter runs up to the door every day at drop off, excited to go to school. My child loves to learn, which is directly related to the thought and care that the teachers put into the curriculum design. It is so comforting to know that when I leave my child, she is with people who care about her and who are able to play with her in developmentally appropriate ways. These teachers are beyond amazing, and I’d recommend Child’s Day to any parent looking for a child development center.

Our experience at Child’s Day continues to exceed our expectations. Our daughters were first introduced to Child’s Day as Little Lambs and from the moment we met Ms. Jenny and Ms. V we knew everything was going to be ok! Our experience in the Robins room with Ms. Hilary, Ms. Nazlie and Ms. Mauri continue to reinforce the high level of providers at Childs Day and the love, experience and passion they all have for our girls. If you are a working parent, you know the single most important thing throughout the entire day is knowing and feeling that your children are safe, loved and thriving. Child’s Day is the only place in Austin I would consider.

We could not be happier with our experience at Child’s Day. Handing your beautiful, fragile newborn over to «strangers» can be scary, and Ms. Karyn, Ms. Tracy, and Ms. Francis made this transition so wonderful for us as first time parents. Our daughter is thriving in her infant class, and it makes going to work every day easier for us knowing that she’s so happy there. We are looking forward to the years ahead as a part of the Child’s Day family.

The Colts teachers are doing so great! Our son just loves to be there, he gets upset whenever he sees me come through the door to pick him up, I have to practically drag him out. Christy is doing a great job with the literacy giants program, they are reading lots of different books, comparing similar stories told in different ways, and learning all about what makes up a book (the spine, cover page, author, illustrator, etc…). The support teachers Jodi, Kelly and new to us Laura are just super with the kids. Thanks so much for everyones hard work in the Colts class! A big thanks as well to Mr. Kevin in tumbling, Ms. Elena for music class and Ms. Elisa for Spanish!

Remember as a kid, wishing everyday was Saturday so you could stay home and avoid more school? Well, it’s just the opposite in our home. Each morning, our four-​year-​old asks if it’s a school day. If I say yes, she breaks into her happy dance!
We are so fortunate to have found Child’s Day. Not only is the curriculum stimulating and the location ideal, but the faculty and staff are top notch. We especially appreciate our Panda teachers, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Gabby and Mr. Kevin. Their passion for nurturing young children — body, mind and spirit — is unflagging. My husband and I are thankful to have such amazing partners in our daughter’s overall growth and development.
To the teachers and support staff who have made our daughter’s early childhood learning experience so positive, we are extremely grateful.

We love Child’s Day! Our daughter has been with them since just before she was 2 years old. She started out as a Little Lamb, then graduated on to the Robin’s class, and now is a Panda. She has adored every one of her teachers, and has developed the best relationships with her classmates. I simply can not say enough great things about Child’s Day and its teachers.
My daughter’s Panda teachers (Miss Jessica, Miss Gabby, and Mr. Kevin) are nothing short of amazing. They always have such great activities planned that help the kids learn new things and that help them to express their creativity and imagination. Jessica, Gabby, and Kevin are so patient and inspiring to the kids – they care so much about them. I am constantly baffled with what my 4 year old knows about everything from animals to outer space!
As a parent, to know that your child loves her school, that she adores her teachers, and that she is thriving and learning every day… it’s an amazing feeling.

Ms. Kathryn, Ms. Angie, & Ms. Nicole are dreams come true. It’s never easy to part from your little guy/​girl but it makes all the difference in the world when you know they’re being perfectly taken care of & are learning & playing every minute they’re away from you.
In our family, both of us parents own small businesses & our schedules can be erratic. There’s not always as much consistency for our son as there is for other kids, so having the stability his teachers give him along with getting to see his adorable little friends on a daily basis helps to balance out the occasional chaos.
They’re so hands-​on & involved. The activities they plan, their home visits, & parent/​teacher communication is unlike any I’ve heard from parents at other schools.
Our son looks forward to school, talks about his teachers & friends even when he’s away from school, & always has fun stories to tell us about his day.
Did I mention he’s only 2?!

When my three year old was asked to leave his previous school, I was worried that we would never find the right school or environment for him. A few friends and several therapists recommended Child’s day and I immediately called and went for a visit. Both my husband and myself were very impressed. Well, after Luke’s first week at Child’s Day, we were literally jumping up and down. The environment and community at Child’s Day was perfect for him. They embraced him with open arms and it has turned out to be the best decision we made. Miss Hilary, Miss Nazli and Miss Maudie are «Child Whisperers.» They have been absolutely amazing and I wish Luke could stay a «Robin» forever. In fact we love the school so much, we are moving Luke’s twin sister Zoe to Child’s Day too!
