  • My child started attending this daycare at 10 months. She is soon to be 2! She knows all her colors and ABCs! The staff is amazing especially Ms. Tonia, Ms. Amari, and Ms. Leelee!

  • West Austin is a great daycare. All 3 of my children have attended different rooms (infant room- school aged for after school). My children have grown a great deal since attending . My youngest is only 14 months and he’s already starting to count and can say animals songs. My 3 year old can spell her name is learning to write it. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication the staff puts in. The staff are professional and really care about the children. I love that they use a program that allows you to view your child’s classroom during the day to give you a piece of mind.

  • I can't say enough good things about this daycare! The staff, especially Ms. Kay, are incredibly caring and attentive. They create a warm and welcoming environment that made my child feel right at home. The educational activities are top-notch, keeping the kids engaged and excited to learn. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and educational experience for their little ones!

  • I am a parent of 3… 15, 5 & 3…. And I can honestly say, I could not have made a better decision when I choose West Austin to care for my little ones and now teenager. The team they have staffed are all highly experienced professionals and go above and beyond their expectations when it comes to the care, curriculum and developmental milestones they help the little ones reach and achieve. I encourage anyone who’s looking for good quality childcare to stop right there, apply, request a tour..etc to be apart of a wonderful experience. And while you’re there be sure to ask for Ms. Kay and her team, they’ll be sure to get you set up right away!!!!!❤️
