Curious if there are any good recommendations. We're not overly happy with our current option and willing to look at alternatives knowing that there could be a long wait list. Our kid is currently three months old so looking for a good option to get them through until they're ready for school.

Both of our kids went to Kiddie Academy in South CS when it first opened. It started out great when it opened. A couple years later after our oldest was in elementary, we got tired of the constant staff turnover and the piss poor attitude our youngest was coming home with every day.

We switched to Prodigy Learning Center and the difference was night and day with our youngest. He was happy and kind all the time. It was definitely a great fit and experience for us.

My youngest loves Prodigy. All of the teachers have been great, and never had any issues of note.

Ours is turning one this week and he's been at Stepping Stone on Rock Prairie. We like it, everyone there is nice and has been responsive when we've brought up a couple of small issues.

The tadpoles app kind of sucks but it's not like they built it.

If you don't mind sharing where are you currently and why aren't you happy? May give others something to consider.

Aggieland Preschool Academy. My son goes here and they are wonderful. My son's development has greatly improved over his last day care. Great facilities as well, and they are expanding.

Our Daughter went to Bullfrogs and Butterflies for 5 years and it was an awesome place with awesome owners. Our daughter came through there well equipped to succeed in elementary school. Absolutely no regrets about sending her there.


***ETA***

Our daughter went from 5mo to 5yo

gracias. I'm past the age of daycare but I figure there are parents trying to sort this out so figured it would be good info for them.

It's been a long time since I have needed daycare but our son went to the A&M Methodist Weekday school from 3 months until kindergarten. We had a very positive experience there.

We have really enjoyed Faith and Family ELC. First son went from 12 weeks to present (3 yrs old). Second son just started and is 9 weeks old. Our 3 yr old is very smart and they do a great job catering to him. He can read some words, spell his name, count, and they are non-denominational faith based, so they pray and talk about Jesus.

When we lived in CS, we LOVED Covenant Presbyterian! LOVED. We moved across the state and that is the only reason we left. I cried when picking up our son on the last day,and saying bye to everyone. Our son was there from 4 months to 20 months.

Have you talked to them about your concerns? We have lots of friends that have and still do attend Kiddie Academy that are very happy.

College students. We did in-home with our twins and couldn't have asked for more fantastic young ladies. I hired thru the university as an off campus employer. Jobsforaggies.tamu.edu

I hire someone every summer to take the kids around town.

2nd Jack & Jill. We've been there since the kids were 6 weeks old and have never had any issues.

I've wondered on these threads if it might be better to ask if there's anywhere that people didn't like.

Harvest Academy near the speedway. It may be a little out of your way, but from Holleman and 2818, I can be there in 10 minutes. It's small so we know the staff and other kids and even the other parents really well. The staff is great. For what they offer, they are very cheap. They provide hot meals and snacks (which is so nice). The building is not much to look at outside but the inside is great and they do eventually plan to relocate.

I have not heard great things about the shiny new chain daycares such as Primrose and Kiddie Academy, though your mileage may vary. We were at Covenant Presby for many years and loved it.

We are on the waitlist for primrose looking at other options. The waitlist is over 8 months I believe.

We toured kiddie academy and the wife was not a fan. Prodigy is one we also considered but probably leaning towards a Mothers Day Out option until we can get into primrose.

I hear really great things about St Thomas Aquinas, but they usually have a lengthy wait list as well

If you're associated with the university at all, we LOVE Becky Gates Children Center!
