I cannot express how much I love BCA. My oldest attended from the time she was two years old and transitioned into the NEISD dual language program doing well. We are an English speaking household so her Spanish skills were impressive to her Kindergarten teacher. My youngest has attended since she was one year old. The staff are very loving and take wonderful care of my children. They know my children's name and know who we are. I've use a different daycare that did not remember which children belonged to which adults and that did not make me feel good to leave my child with them. I've never had those concerns at BCA. The administrators are very responsive and help you feel confident your children are being taken care of physically and mentally. They have a cook that makes fresh food for the children so they are eating well. I recommend BCA to anyone that is in need of child care or pre-school.

We had both our babies here at ages 2 and 3. We still talk about this school. The staff was amazing and so was the schooling! Our kids are now in 5th and 6th grade and all speaking Spanish.

I cannot say enough great things about this school. My daughter attended and graduated from their pre-k class and now my 2 year old son attends and he absolutely loves going to school every day. All the teachers are phenomenal and so caring and understanding. Pilar, Gaby and Tere always go above and beyond whenever there is a problem and make you feel like family every time you come in. I’ve always wanted my kids to be in a place where they are comfortable and at home. My son forgets daily to say goodbye to me because he’s in such great hands that he can run off and immediately start having fun. BCA checks all those boxes for us, I will always recommend this great school!

BCA has been an incredible resource for our family. The staff is extremely professional, the teachers are kind and care for our children, and our children are learning new things every day. They have truly made a difference in the life of our family and for that I’m forever grateful.

I love it because they teach the children very well, with many dynamics and creativity for them, they love it and their learning is noticeable so quickly, as a mother I have been so surprised!! The teachers are very well prepared and they take care of the children very well, I have come to check on my daughter without telling anyone to know how she is and everything is going perfectly, my daughter loves school and learning, every day there are new things and the I like the kindness and care of the teachers, apart from the fact that they give me a report every day with photos and videos that I can check from my cell phone wherever I am, as well as what my daughter eats, how many times she went to the bathroom and every activity they do. I like that and I am happy to have my girl there because she learns values and her development has grown a lot, it is an excellent school with values and discipline, her development shows it.

I can not say enough wonderful things about BCA. The moment you walk into the building you can feel the love in the atmosphere. Every teacher truly loves every child. It is a passion, not a job to them. My daughter knows Spanish (speaks it and understands it at age 2) and I don't know any Spanish. I love everything about this place. The staff are wonderful. It doesn't feel like a daycare at all. I choose BCA over The Pineapple School any day.

My son Jaxon started with Bilingual Child Academy in Hollywood Park this past Summer after we relocated to Texas. Just the 2 of us. He has learned so much and his teachers are incredibly patient with him. They effectively communicate with me as well and encourage my participation and input. Most importantly, management and ownership really makes my heart smile. I can't say enough amazing things about Ms. Pilar and the way she runs her business. She goes out of her way to work with families and it's clear that this is not just a job for her! She cares about our children. Thank you BCA for helping to teach my son and giving him a loving supportive environment to live thrive and grow within! 5 stars guys!!

My son has attended BCA Hollywood Park since he was 3 months old. We toured 5 facilities during pregnancy and chose this one. I speak about 5 words in Spanish so we were concerned about being able to communicate with teachers. We have not yet had a problem. The very few times I need clarification on something I can ask the owner or office manager (who are always there and LOVE the kids) and they help me immediately. My son gets so excited to go to school every day. It’s fun watching him learn Spanish as we attempt to learn with him. My son has a food allergy that can be scary as a parent, leaving your child and his epipen away from you all day. They have been so wonderful at helping us accommodate for him. Overall, the school is clean, safe, provides super healthy lunches, communicates daily with parents via photos and reports, and every staff member loves the kids. I am happy to leave my kid here every day.

I have 2 children who attend BCA. My 3 year old loves her teachers especially Miss Danely who always has a smile on her face, greets her with a hug every morning, and does her hair every day in adorable up dos. My son is 19 months and since he has moved into the older classroom, he has been a lot happier and I've been pleased by his teachers. Prior to that, the infant area had some issues. They could never get his feeding schedule correct, especially on shift change from morning to afternoon staff, and I felt like some of the staff did not care about our feeding concerns. However, the administration is always quick to respond to our concerns but every few weeks we'd have the same conversation over again. My kids have been in BCA for almost a year and their Spanish language skills have been progressing well. The older children do wear uniforms which I thought I would like but actually is a pain because my 3 year old hates wearing it some days which becomes a fight. I've had my children in several schools and day cares over the years but I think what I like most about BCA is the smaller feel and that it's not run like a daycare. It follows the NEISD dual language curriculum even with the little ones. What is great too is that they have changed the meals so that they are healthier and heartier. Overall, I would recommend BCA to a friend.

I am extremely disappointed in Bilingual Child Academy. There was just way too many times that my 2 year old sons backpack (with his blanket, SIPPY CUP, and diapers and wipes) went untouched the entire day. No one would even know where his backpack was at the end of the day and everything I put in it that morning was clearly untouched and his sippy cup with exactly the same amount of water. My son would run to me saying, "mama, agua agua agua!!!" (practically whining for it) before we would even walk out of the class. When I asked if he was offered water throughout the day, I was told he had (even though the water was in the same pocket of his backpack and with the same amount of water and nobody even knew where to find his bag...funny). Not to mention, literally, while asking about the water issue, I witnessed a small girl ask the other teacher for agua 3 times and never saw her get that water before I had left. and I was watching for it. The tadpoles reports they email you are also just an automatic fill in for every child, I'm sure. On days it said he slept for almost 3 hours, however, my son would fall asleep on the way home. Lie. It would also say that my son ate "All the applesauce, all the carrots, all the sandwich, etc." Yet another lie. My son, no matter how hard I try or how I cook them, does NOT eat carrots. Shortly after addressing my concerns about the water issue, my son started crying when dropped off, telling us, NO, please, NO! Not this!" It absolutely broke my husband and my heart. So, we went to the other Bilingual Academy Location to inquire and take a tour. Well, I guess, that director told the Trailcrest location that we were thinking about the transfer and now, all of a sudden, the Trailcrest director told my husband this afternoon that we haven't been charged the correct amount the entire year that my son has been enrolled and now our price will be going up. By the way, she made sure the mention that she heard about us wanting to transfer before this and that the other school told us there wouldn't be room for us at the other school. So, how is it that NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, our price will be going up. Huh.My son will obviously not be returning to this school anymore. It should concern any parent that has a child that can not speak for themselves yet when their child suddenly starts crying everyday to get dropped off, and begs for water and shoves food into his mouth when they get home, even though the report says they eat all of everything. My son can not tell me if he ate, drank, slept, or was mistreated. But a mother can recognize changes in her child. These should not be ignored.
