Schools in Abilene, TX

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about this establishment!! I stayed home with my baby until almost 2 before getting back into work and the fear of letting strangers be in watch all day was as real as it could get.

From the day I walked into Kids on Maple I was so comfortable the teachers!! Can’t say more than enough about how they actually teach and play with the kids and do activities, I never see them just throwing toys and playing on their phones (and I pick my little up at all times of any day due to my schedule) The kids are on a schedule everyday, they are not screaming and running about, and they have all the rooms under control as much as you can possibly have a bunch of toddlers.

Mrs Kim and Papa Mark (my daughter calls them) are the best, they’re caring and attentive. They work their tails off day in and day out to keep that place looking great inside and out, they’re there first thing in the morning until the end of the day they work hard and their staff is a reflection of that. With them spending ALL day at their daycare they do not keep their employees when anyone runs late THEY typically stay late. They have a strict no late policy, so if you are a person who doesn’t manage time or runs late often this won’t be a place for you, respectfully. I ran late one time learned my lesson and it was understood and respected from there. We all have lives outside of work, including daycare providers.

I HIGHLY recommend bringing your littles to Kids on Maple. Things happen when there’s a bunch of kids and germs and sicknesses going around but they clean regularly (you can smell and visibly see that) they send kids home when they NEED to be sent home and really you can just tell they love what they do and that the kids love them.

10/10!! I feel lucky enough to have not been on a waiting list when I needed to get my little in daycare. My little and I love them and this place!!”

“Pioneer Pathways is an amazing place with the most caring and supportive staff. Everyone there goes above and beyond to make sure people feel welcome, heard, and truly cared for. You can tell they love what they do, and it makes all the difference. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place where people genuinely put their hearts into their work!”

“My daughter has been going here for about a month and a half. It's our first daycare experience and took her a while to adjust. Everyone we encounter knows her name and comforts her when she gets upset. They were patient with her when she was struggling to adjust. I get messages and pictures. Good price for the area.”

“We didn't have to wait on a wait list to get our 17 month old in, which was a huge blessing because every other day care in town has a wait list, and I'm pretty sure they are not even keeping track on who is on it, because we have been on almost all of them for almost 8 months. I was nervous at first, because she had never been to a day care. It was your typical baby response, sad and angry at first, but now I feel like she is thriving. All the teachers know her by name when we come in the morning and the director is very nice and very knowledgeable! I like that they update you on the app throughout the day and even send pictures. They do cute activities, and they get fed throughout the day, which I love because it means I don't have to pack lunch or snacks. There have been a few incidents, like my daughter fell and scraped her knee, but they handle it pretty well imo. You have to sign a paper that shows when and what happened and how it was handled, and the director is informed. Also sometimes they don't register that she is there until awhile later, and I just wait sometimes in the parking lot until they do because they check in the toddlers under 2 I think, while over 2 year olds parents sign them in on a tablet. I know they are busy in the mornings , but i can't just wait for long because I go to work. You can speak directly with the director though the app or with the director and teacher though, so sometimes I just ask them to check her in and they do it. I trust the girls here and they accept CCS which is great for us! My daughter is almost 2 now and she has been learning things there that we didn't teach her, like her ABC's song and counting to 20 ! I also like their hours of operation. I am glad we found Tina and her staff. We really appreciate y'all so much. I highly recommend this day care :) End of the story, i trust them with my baby. That's all that matters.”

“My grandson as been attending Small World for 3 years. Ms Alice and her team are absolutely amazing. They definitely go above and beyond to ensure the children are like family. Thank you Small World”

“I’m so glad my daughter was accepted here. Through them I was able to go to Radiology school and graduate. They were always so sweet to my daughter, I knew she was in great and safe care there so i could focus on my degree.”
