My toddler was mistreated at this location, and I would NOT recommend any parent who values diversity, compassion and integrity enroll at this school. Every child is different but all kids deserve to be treated equally. The staff is a revolving door, every other week there are different teachers, who all follow different standards of care. When my child would adapt to certain teachers it seemed that it was more of a concern to the director than a comfort. They have cameras which is great until they realize you are watching. My wife and I watched my toddler be mistreated (treated unfairly for the same behavior as other kids in his class) on camera and when we called the school to address it we were blatantly lied too. When I addressed my concerns and asked questions to the director, there was never an option to improve or come to an understanding, or find a solution. The director and other staff used their own biases and unprofessionalism to have discussions about my toddler. On several occasions my toddler was referred to as “too huge, too tall, too heavy, too aggressive, etc” On camera I watched& experienced my toddler being targeted on multiple occasions, constantly treated differently, removed or placed in isolation from his friends, receiving less comfort or compassion from teachers and so much more. BEWARE of the word “redirection” thrown around by staff and directors. It’s Inconsistent and best way for staff to protect their jobs. Finding childcare is already a stressful process for parents, so places like this that treated my toddler unfairly should not actually be in business. Do not choose this childcare, find a place that will go above and beyond for your child. Find a place that will treat your toddler as a toddler. Find a place that will provide a safe space for honest communication between staff & parents.

Our daughter recently started attending KRK and has had a wonderful experience with everyone on staff. Her teachers are incredibly kind and made her (and us) feel welcome from the first day. We would recommend KRK- Castle Hills to anyone looking for childcare where they can know their child is in a safe and loving environment!

My daughter went there for preK and it was the best experience we ever had. Staff was nice and detail. Especially both teachers in Prek, Mrs B*** and L*** were among the top teachers. I was able to see when my daughter was sad they both hug my daughter for long time until she gets better. If I have other child, I will send them here.

We are so happy to be a part of the KRK family. We switched from a local Montessori school over a year ago and our daughter has been *thriving* with the structured curriculum and experienced teachers and staff at KRK.

Mrs. Sharon will love your baby until the end of time. Ms. Amber and Mrs. Bethany are incredible human beings who radiate warmness, and Mrs. Tasha has tons of knowledge and experience. Thankful for these ladies and all of front staff!!!

They are the only daycare for us. We normally don’t write reviews, but KidsRKids deserves all the praise. We feel safe leaving our daughter there and have always had the best experience.

Wow! I have nothing but great things to say about Kids r Kids Castle Hills! Lynn was so accommodating when I wanted to tour the campus, and then a second time when I wanted to show my mom where we would be sending our daughter.Then on the first day my husband and I dropped our daughter off Meghan came out to greet us saying "good morning _" and KNEW my daughter's name!Then we have the staff of teachers-my daughter has Miss Stephanie who has been wonderful at communicating and caring for my kiddo. Putting kids in daycare is always a leap of faith. But the staff-from the front desk to classroom teachers-everyone of them will love your child as if it were their own child.We are moving and I am devastated I have to find a new school for my kids! We have loved kids r kids, and would recommend them time and time again!

We started our toddler here after multiple bad experiences at previous daycares..so we were nervous about what to expect. At the time, we also had a second little one on the way, so we were hoping to find a gem that would lovingly take care of both kids. We absolutely found that here at Kids R Kids!! I can tell the staff - including the owner, Gary - truly cares about the kids here.My oldest son used to hate going to daycare, until we started KRK. He actually looks forward to school, loves his teachers and friends, and never wants to go home. They make learning fun for the kids and my son really enjoys the activities they get to do (splash pad, Spanish, Flippers, and more!).When we had our second son, the staff in the “newborn” room welcomed him with open arms. They reassured us that they would make sure he was taken care of, and they’ve been absolutely wonderful with him since his first day at 8 weeks old!The care KRK provides is unmatched. We are so thankful for them and all they do for our kids. We recommend them to everyone who asks - and to those that don’t!!

What an amazing family we have here at Kids R Kids Castle Hills! The strides our son has made both socially and academically in private kindergarten is a direct product of the positive and nurturing environment KRK provides. I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand children from other kinder programs and there truly is no comparison- my son far exceeds them.Put your child in an environment where more is expected of him and he’ll BE more.His teachers have created this culture and in fostering that philosophy, my son has excelled immensely. His teachers care and truly love every child. The entire group is amazing and has become family.Here are just a few things I love about KRK:~They become your family.~Trust - there is always open communication and cameras to see your child throughout the day.~Safety-locked doors, no easy access for strangers.~Health-there is a specialized filtration system integrated throughout the school that reduces pathogens.~Testing is conducted on surfaces and reports are emailed to parents with the results of microbial cleanliness/findings.~Appropriate level of expectation is given for each child.~Academic Excellence is a top priority.~Social well-being and emotional needs are met.I am overwhelmed when I think about how blessed we are to have our son at Kids R Kids. Best decision ever!

As a parent with previous experience in childcare and 7 years of experience having children in childcare, Kids R Kids Castle Hills is by far the best in the industry. My youngest has been attending a little over a year and my oldest attends the school age summer camp in the summer and begs me to attend every school break which says a lot.Ms. Whitney was a great introduction to KRK and really helped our daughter adapt. She has since moved to Ms. Stephanie's class and then Ms. Karla's class. All 3 of these ladies have been great teachers and caregivers to her. She has learned so much!Ms. Tracey is so passionate about teaching and it shows in her work. My younger daughter loves going to her STEAM class in the school year...and my oldest loves her in the School Age Summer Camp. She is incredible in keeping the kids engaged in fun and meaningful activities.The administration team is the best around. Ms. Samantha, Ms. Haylee, Ms. Lyn and Ms. Meggan are welcoming and provide frequent and clear communication. I never have to guess what is going on or where my children are at...which has not been my experience elsewhere.They love the food from Ms. Mae's kitchen and she always keeps the menu fun and well balanced!I have never seen a childcare owner as engaged with the school as Mr. Gary is which speaks highly of the success of the school. The teachers and administration are valued and the families are valued which leads to lower staff turnover which is so important for the young child.We feel so blessed to have found Kid R Kids and are only sad we did not know about them sooner.

Kids R Kids Castle Hills is Family. Both my kids attended here since they were 15 months old through Pre-K.We feel our kids are in Safe, Nuturing environment and in good care. They have really good Pre-K program which makes them more than ready for elementary school. We are very grateful to Gary and the staff for everything they do. Teachers and staff cared for the kids and families in pandemic with such great caution and preventitive measures.There so much more that we cannot put out in just one review. They are just Amazing.

Wonderful, loving, and caring staff and teachers. Both of my daughters have been part of the KidsRKids family since they were 1 year and 9 months old. They are now 7 and 5 years old. The owner takes excellent care of his staff and parents. Hands down the best preschool in the area.

Our family just adores Mrs. Karla! Her and my son developed a very special bond and he absolutely loved going to KRK! She is a very gifted teacher who clearly teaches from the heart.

We started at Kids R Kids 6 months ago after being at our previous daycare for over 3 years. It was a hard move but we knew it was the right thing for our daughter and family. It was by far the best decision we have ever made for her. She's thriving in every way possible and is healthier than she's ever been. The school is clean and you can tell very well taken care of. Every person we have encountered at the school has been incredibly nice, welcoming, loving and just overall amazing. Being greeted at drop-off and pick-up by genuinely kind and caring people every morning and afternoon is the best way for you and your kids to start and end your day.Ms. Whitney has been a huge blessing for our daughter! She had a lot of change this year with a new school, and a new baby brother within a few months of each other and I'm confident that Ms. Whitney and the staff at Kids R Kids helped her get through that change with us better. They were so supportive and acted as our partners through the harder days for our daughter. She LOVES going to school every day and I feel great knowing she's in such great hands, learning so much and feels safe.Our son just started at 11 weeks old and we are thrilled with the teachers in his room and the communication they have had with us making sure we feel comfortable and know he's in great hands and being loved, just like our daughter.Mr. Gary, the owner, is around often and he's just as great as the rest of the team we have gotten to interact with. He always has a smile on his face and is welcoming to our family. A hands on owner who really cares about the families and people coming and going is very comforting for us.I could go on and on about how wonderful this school is! We are blessed to have the opportunity to send our children here and to have each and every person help them become the best versions of themselves at such an important time in their lives.
