What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Our 2 and a half year old has been enrolled since he was 5 months. We are so grateful for the care they provide. The staff/teachers are so kind and loving. My son loves them! We are beyond happy with our experience.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at ABC. Our son has grown so much since starting here — not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. The teachers and staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about each child. They make every day fun and engaging while creating a safe, nurturing environment. It’s also one of the more affordable options we found, which makes the level of care and attention even more impressive. We’re so grateful to have found this daycare and highly recommend it to any family looking for a place where their child can truly thrive!
Great Daycare! I love bringing my daughter here. She has advanced so much for her age. They do not have field trips at this location so I am happy with that. If the kids need anything or have an activity, the activity comes to them. Love the teachers and the director. They are sharp and stay very clean.
We love this place. Ous son has blossomed here- there is an indoor gym and outdoors play spaces which is key for this Houston weather so my little guy is always running around! The teachers are so caring and welcoming. When Ms. Tarita, the principal, comes into each class kids are delighted to see her which reflects their expectation of a loving environment. It's a place filled with love and their creative projects are so much fun. My son is mastering his letters and shapes- and having a great time doing it! Highly recommend!

Aggregated insights from public records & parent discussions
Safety Record
As of February 2026, state licensing records for license #1540886 indicate a total of 13 inspections and 2 self-reported incidents since its initial permit in 2015. No major safety incidents, legal issues, or news-reported violations were found specifically for this location. The facility maintains a 'Full Permit' with a maximum capacity of 68 children.
Parent Reputation
The center has a limited public footprint with no reviews found on common parent platforms such as Winnie, Yelp, or TrustedCare as of 2026. This lack of public feedback suggests a quiet reputation primarily serving the immediate church community. Sentiment cannot be definitively measured due to the absence of recent parent discussions or public forum mentions.
Staff Insights
No specific employee reviews were found for this location in recent years. While a historical 2016 review on Indeed for an 'ABC Children's Learning' in Houston mentioned a positive environment for caregivers, it cannot be definitively linked to current staff or management at the Pinemont Drive address.
