Bluebonnet School Of Canyon Creek

I love Bluebonnet. He’s surrounded by great teachers who are extremely invested in my son’s development. The facilities are great, and there is a wide variety of different enrichment activities to keep his attention. my son is soon to age out of the school (5 months), and I’m genuinely disappointed that Bluebonnet won’t play the same central role in our lives going foward. Any early issues that i had are gone, and the school addressed them immediately. We love bluebonnet!

I’m very impressed! I have 3yo twins who attended a different preschool before joining bluebonnet. They don’t cry anymore during dropoff and are always happily playing when I pick them up. As a parent, I enjoy the cameras in the classrooms where I and even their grandparents in Florida and CA can see them playing and eating lunch. I also appreciate the nutritional lunches, cots for napping, and the assistants washing their cups so we don’t have to bring them home each night. The classrooms are so big and bright, and the kids are kept busy with fun activities. Kristen the VP of operations has been so accommodating and puts parents’ needs first. I really feel like she cares about the families rather than just trying to make a profit. There has been quite a bit of turnover in staff but that is common in the industry and Kristen was honest and upfront about that during my search for the right school. The Canyon Creek location just got accredited by the NAEYC and received high marks in all areas. It is clear that they try their best to go above and beyond!

My 2 year old son loves Bluebonnet. Sometimes when we get home from school, he refuses to get out of the car because he wants me to take him back to school. He loves his teachers, and rarely cries at drop off. I can’t say enough good things about Bluebonnet.

«Mommy, can I go to school every day?» is the question we got when our son finished his first day at Bluebonnet. After nearly 1−½ years (first at the Cedar Park location and currently at the Canyon Creek location after we moved), he still loves school. As an active 4−½ year old, he thrives on the educational activities, the group and individual projects, the outdoor play, the enrichment opportunities and the dedication of his teachers.
I can’t say enough about the teachers. He’s only on his second teacher since he began at Bluebonnet and that’s because he moved to the next class. The lead teachers are all degreed and/​or credentialed and are there because they want to be there. This was huge to us as parents, as we’d had a different experience at other schools. And, it’s the only Austin preschool accredited by both NAEYC and NAE.
The leadership and administrative staff are always helpful and professional and truly know and love our son. And, we love the parent involvement and the class activities we’re invited to (ex. celebrations for Mother’s and Father’s Day, holidays, etc.)
All-​in-​all, we feel our little guy is in a great position to succeed in kindergarten and attribute a large part of that to his time at Bluebonnet!

I can’t say too much about their actual daycare as my daughter spent a total of 3.5 hours at this daycare, but trying to get a refund from this school has been very frustrating to say the least. Been told twice that the «refund check is in the mail», but still waiting without my refund. We were excited to find a daycare so close to home, but the wife’s job situation didn’t go as planned. So we decided to cancel the daycare after two days. So they decided to charge us $ 100 for two days of daycare, which seemed a bit high but we figured we’d let it go.
We’ll i summarized my current situation below, but it’s been a frustrating experience that’s definitely soured me on this daycare. If this is how they handle a simple thing like a refund, I’m not sure what kinds of other problems that we would have ran into with this daycare.
Sept 2 – 2015 We asked for a refund and was told the refund would go out Friday.
Sept 10 – 2015 I ask them about an update on the refund, and they tell me it will be mailed soon.
Sept 16 – 2015 I ask again, and they tell me it will be mailed on the 18^th.
Sept 23 – 2015 I ask them AGAIN, and they say it was mailed on the 22^nd.
Sept 29 – 2015 I am still waiting on this refund and no idea when it’s coming. The staff at the daycare can only tell me that the owner said it was mailed.
How many «the checks in the mail» responses before I get worried that something’s up here?
Update: Liz did help me out and I was able to get the refund.

My child has been attending Bluebonnet School Canyon Creek for the past 2−½ years. We’ve been very lucky with her teachers. Her teachers have been very caring and make an effort to make things fun. And she’s grown socially and academically. It has been a good experience for us.
I do have to say, however, that I have friends with kids in other classrooms, and they haven’t been as lucky. Last year was an especially challenging year for them due to extensive teacher turnover in their particular class.
I do also want to mention that one of the previous positive reviews was made by a current employee of Bluebonnet School, so it may be a little biased.
All in all, I would recommend this preschool. As with any major decision, however, do your research. As part of your decision making process, I would meet your child’s prospective teachers beforehand.

It’s a decent daycare, but at a price.

I would have never left this school had we not moved away. I was so sad to have to take my daughter elsewhere. I even had a work discount at another daycare chain here in Texas but choose Bluebonnet. Great great staff, clean school, amazing care of children! Highly recommend !

My son attended Bluebonnet and had a wonderful experience. He attended the private Kinder class that taught him far more than the preschool my daughter attended. In addition, the teachers had great control over the classroom, which was a great relief since we moved him due to the violence at his previous school. We received constant communication, including pictures of his activities during the day. Overall, we were very pleased with the program. Even after my son moved onto regular Kinder, the school continued to provide a high level of service. Within a day, they happily provided me all the documentation for my Dependent Care Savings Account. We really loved Bluebonnet and were appreciative of everything they did to provide an excellent environment for our son!

When it comes to my children, I have incredibly high standards. Bluebonnet of Canyon Creek has exceeded them.
The frequent communication from their director, weekly lesson plans and newsletters from the teachers, and daily updates at pick-​up help us understand how my boys are doing and how I can reinforce their learnings at home.
The teachers are truly top notch. My 4-​year old is very high energy. I was unable to get him to focus and absorb things that I tried to teach him. However, his teacher quickly picked up on his personality and found creative ways to engage him. He is excited to go to school every day and constantly tells me about things he has learned. My 2-​year old is sweet and sensitive and clings to me any chance he gets. I know he is genuinely cared for by his teacher because he lights up and runs to her when I drop him off. Every teacher that they have had has truly impressed me.
I would tell anyone that their children are going to have an amazing experience at Bluebonnet Canyon Creek!

My husband and I both, are VERY pleased with the school as a whole. The activities, the teachers, the administration, the menu, the curriculum, the envolvment of the school with the parents. EVERYTHING is beyond our expectations!
