I guess they have a new location at 802 Autumn Circle, CS.

Is anyone familiar with this center's services and could tell me about them?

Already did that, saying it is a new location, there is practically no information other than they just received their new permit for the location.

I was trying to find out if anyone had any experience with them before they moved.

Sometimes people do try and do the research ahead of time.

Syrei, where were they located before they moved?

I'm not certain. I know I heard something about them back in the spring when I was originally looking for a care provider in the area, but I don't know if they were getting good reviews or what at that time.

I saw something in their craigslist post that was advertising that they were at a new location and looking up their licensing through the state seems like it is just referencing a new location. I can't find anything about their old location.

I'm suddenly in the boat of having to find a new provider for an infant, and this care center would be in a very convenient location, but I don't really know anything about them. I was hoping someone here might know something. I believe they just moved shop around town. I of course will be trying to contact and meet with them this next week, but I'm going to be on a short time table for finding a new provider and I just want to gather as much information as I can in a short period of time.

Syrei - The Craigslist posting looks appealing enough. My only concern would be that staircase and whether access to it is blocked. What bothers me is that if they existed previously, they apparently changed their name, or did something to cause them to exist only as of 8/21/09 on the "texasonline" web site. If they existed prior to this, where? And under what name? And can they provide inspection reports from the prior business? Will they provide you with other parents whom you can contact for references and information?



You can never be too careful when it comes to your child's care and further, you have to be especially diligent with an infant who cannot report his/her daily goings-on to you.

I can say that when the first location opened about two years ago I went to take a look. I was none to impressed that I was told that all children will be in onesies all day. Even if I brought my child in regular clothes they would change them. Also there was looked like a living room that was converted into a play room with just a large TV and kids running wild and the caretaker watched TV. Also the flooring was the puzzle foam mat. I asked if it was ever cleaned and the caretaker gave me a puzzled looked. Let's just say I moved on.

Hello,
I am Kathy Kleppel one of the owners of Bullfrogs and Butterflies Child Care Center in College Station. We were a Licensed Child Care Home before moving to Autumn Circle. DFPS changes your permit number when you change types of licenses. Our old permit number was 906888 @ 715 Lazy Ln. Bryan Tx. 77802. I believe you can still pull up the information on the DFPS website. I hope this information was helpful and have a great day.

Don't know anything about the new or former facilities. Just wanted to say there was an ad on pg A-11 of last Sunday's Eagle for $100 off first months tuition.if you do end up going there, it'd be a nice initial price break
