About Twin Lakes Child Development Center
Christian Childcare with Large Outdoor Playground
Twin Lakes Child Development Center has been a staple of the Cedar Park and Leander community since 1988. Operating as a licensed Christian center, the program emphasizes that every child is a gift, fostering an environment where knowledge, character, and love grow together. The staff focuses on building life-long family connections and maintains an open line of communication with parents to ensure each child's success. The program offers a variety of services including full-time care, after-school programs, and summer camps. Children engage in interactive learning at their own pace, with activities designed to develop personality and basic morals. With over three decades of experience, the center provides a stable and nurturing atmosphere for children to explore and grow through play and structured guidance. The facility also includes transportation options for school-aged children and frequent field trips during summer sessions.
What Parents Say

A huge shoutout to Twin Lakes Child Development Center for providing such a loving and nurturing environment for our little one! We are so grateful for all the care and dedication they show every day - they're truly the best!
THANK Louder and in capital letters. The staff of TLCDC is amazing. You don't know how I am grateful to you. I remember when I arrived and I didn't speak English and Isabella either, I remember the fear I felt when I arrived, but you made me feel at home. Thank you again. God bless every person in that place. Don't forget us. You are a family, and I am happy to be part of it. Your team is the best.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. We started out at a different daycare and after numerous red flags, I finally made the jump and it was amazing seeing the difference in how much more quickly my kids developed. The teachers are all amazing and my kids came out of Twin Lakes CDC completely ready for kindergarten!
Hands down the best care givers around. My daughter is now 11 and we have been with TLCDC since she was 2! When she began school we did the after school program and loved it. We now do the summer camp program. They go on trips, do service work and are taught respect and many other valuable life lessons. I highly reccomend all of the staff there. They truly love your children.
We absolutely LOVE this daycare. My baby boy has special diet needs and he's always sick. We've gone around and around with doctors. Needless to say I was so scared for him to move to a daycare setting as he was with my best friend for nearly the first 2 years in a home setting. I'm so comfortable with all of the teachers there. My son talks about Ms. Donna everyday and tells me "I yuv (love) Ms. Donna". Every teacher is great but he seems to have this special bond with her. They are all so sweet, seem to really enjoy children and never seemed burned out which is what I've experience in the past at other day cares with my older children. They accommodate his dietary needs and are always careful and make sure to ask before giving him something new. I love them and can't say enough about how awesome they have been.
