100/5 stars. Everything is so wonderful: teachers care so much about each child, are so well educated, and enthusiastic everyday. The extra community after-hours events make it really feel like home. Our son enrolled at 19 months and after only a few months here, says full sentences, is so outgoing with everyone, and excited to go to school everyday. It's also very convenient that lunch and supplies are provided. You get what you pay for in childcare, and Mockingbird is truly the best of the best.

Our kid has been enrolled for the past year and we love it, teachers are really good, the food is awesome and Anthony is always available . Rightly recommended, the price is really good for all the benefits and the teacher/student ratio

We love Mockingbird! Our grandson (2y9mo) studies here. Whenever we receive pictures or comments from the school/teachers, and see our grandson happy and playing with his buddies, we realize how fortunate we are to be with them. Like today... it rained 🌧 in Austin and grandson and buddies were having lots, tons of fun in a small water pool. Congratulations for the Lovely and fun place and the children care you provide!!

We have honestly had a wonderful experience at Mockingbird. The teachers are amazing — warm, attentive, and clearly dedicated to creating a fun and engaging space for the kids. Communication is great; they keep us informed and are very responsive, which we really appreciate. It’s clear that our child feels comfortable and happy in the classroom. Seeing the excitement around daily activities and the friendships being built is incredibly reassuring. Overall, the environment and culture the team has created feel very positive and intentional. We’re grateful to be part of such a thoughtful community.

This school is the most wholesome child-centered place I’ve ever seen. It’s filled with the most caring staff I’ve ever met at a school. The owner is an amazing person and truly cares about the kids, parents, staff and the school altogether. Kids are treated with kindness and respect and they’re learning so much about critical thinking in a natural flowing way at a young age. Their meals are thoughtfully planned out. The kids are so good at creative thinking and building. It’s not overcrowded with kids and that gives it a better feel to it, better energy and positive feeling all around there. Everything is clean, organized, safe and has well-thought out spaces. If you get in, you’re lucky, because each staff member is carefully selected and they each bring something unique to the school but what they all have in common is that they truly care about kids and are the most kind gentle childcare providers. I definitely would feel safe and have peace of mind having my child there full time. This is one amazing school and I can’t recommend it enough.
