My son has attended silver spoons pre-school since he was 3 months old, he is now 3 years old and he’s learned so much within these years , he can literally recite the whole pledge of allegiance all by himself. I was always skeptical about putting him in child care but silver spoons has always made me feel like he’s in great hands and they never disappoint! From the amazing teachers to the amazing directors I’m truly blessed to have such great people to watch over my baby! Thank you for all you do! My baby and I love y’all so much!
I highly recommend Silver Spoons Daycare! My daughter has been attending this center for over a year, and we've been incredibly impressed with her progress. She has learned so much and is now incredibly smart and independent. At just four years old, she can write her name, count to 100, identify many syllables, words, shapes, and animals, and sing songs. The amount of knowledge she has gained here is truly incredible! My daughter absolutely loves going to "school," as she calls it. The teachers are amazing. Miss Angela, Miss Mary Lou, and Miss Alex are all so kind and patient with her. She adores her teachers and her friends. Miss Ruthie, the director, is also exceptional. When my daughter first started here, she only understood and spoke Spanish. Now, she understands and speaks both English and Spanish fluently. This is a testament to the patience and hard work the teachers put in to help our children. Military duty is taking our family to another country, which is the only reason we are withdrawing our daughter. We are so happy we found Silver Spoons and will never forget this amazing place. With love, The Lugo Family
I’ve had my daughter enrolled at Silver Spoon Preschool since October 2024, and I truly can’t say enough good things about our experience. From day one, the staff has been incredibly welcoming, attentive, and nurturing—not just to my child, but to me as a parent as well. It’s clear they genuinely care about the kids and take pride in creating a safe, stimulating, and loving environment. My daughter has grown so much during her time here—not just developmentally, but socially and emotionally as well. She comes home happy, talking about her teachers and friends, and excited to go back the next day. The daily updates when I pick her up give me peace of mind and let me feel connected to her day even while we’re apart. The facility is clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully set up to support learning through play. The curriculum strikes a great balance between structure and creativity, and I’ve noticed a big boost in her confidence and communication skills. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be safe, supported, and truly cared for, I wholeheartedly recommend Silver Soon Preschool. It’s been such a positive part of our lives this past year, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
All the staff to this daycare is AMAZING! I have never had any issues at all and they communicate really well with me about my daughter. My daughter is always excited and happy going to daycare (which should say alot about this place!) They are very cautious/strict with giving out information or letting whoever pick up. They take really good care of my daughter as well as all the other kids, I have yet to hear any bad about this place. ❤️
Do not judge the outside appearance of this daycare. My daughter has gone to this daycare for 2 and a half years now and she is so smart. They teach her so much! She is only 4 and she knows how to write her name, count to 60, knows how many syllables are in words, her 3D shapes, and opposites! I am sure that there is more that I am missing but she is so smart for her age. We constantly are told by friends and family that our daughter is so smart. I can never take any of the credit for it though. I am always attributing her growing knowledge to Silver Spoons. My daughter loves going to daycare every day and is always excited about going every day. Miss Mary Lou, Miss Angela, and Miss Alex are the teachers that my daughter is always talking about. She loves her teachers and her friends that she has made while there and we will never forget how good Silver Spoons was to her. Miss Ruthie who is the director is so good about sending photos taken of my daughter during special events and letting us know if there were any accidental injuries as they happened. Also the rates are very affordable. The most affordable in the San Antonio area to be honest. The level of care and knowledge being poured into the students far exceeds the rate that they charge. Military duty is taking our family out of state so we have to withdraw our daughter from Silver Spoons but we will never forget the impact this daycare had on our daughter. We are hoping to stay in touch with her teachers and visit when we come back too. Silver Spoons, a sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for being so good to our precious little one. For helping her grow in to the strong and smart girl she is now. We will never ever forget it. With Love Always, The Vasquez Family
