What Parents Say

My daughter has been going there since she was 10 months old. We have never felt like our daughter has been mistreated. She has ASD and they are accommodating and understanding. Truly wonderful place.
Our family has been so happy with our experience here! They have made us feel welcomed from day one. The front desk staff is the sweetest and the teachers are so caring and patient. The whole facility is always clean and organized. Our kids have thrived since we’ve enrolled them! It’s been such a positive experience for our whole family!
Amazing Daycare! I can confidently say that Wiz Kids is an absolutely amazing daycare! From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the joy and love that fills the place. The staff and teachers are beyond wonderful they do an incredible job with the kiddos, and it truly shows in everything they do. The environment is clean, organized, and filled with creativity. Walking down the halls, you’ll see all kinds of fun and educational activities happening its clear the teachers put their heart into every detail. The classrooms are bright and cheerful, and the learning goes far beyond just the basics. They even take education outside, which my child absolutely loves! What I appreciate most is how kind, caring, and genuinely lovable the teachers are. They treat every child with so much patience and affection, it feels like a second home. You can tell they truly care about each and every kiddo, and that means the world to us as parents. I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Wiz Kids. It’s a place full of joy, learning, and love everything you could hope for in a daycare!
I posted a review two years ago. That means we have been at this daycare for 4 years and that also means we have been through a lot of ups and downs. We have seen everyone’s bad days and still greet the kids and everyone with a good morning, teachers and people that are just there for a paycheck, this daycare is one of the best in the Houston area. They have so many extra curricular activities for kids, festivals and parties.We are doing everything we can to make sure our son can continue to be enrolled here while attending private school next year. I have added some pictures taken of our son by the daycare during activities done in class.
We’ve been part of this daycare family for years, and I can confidently say it has been a consistently wonderful experience. From day one, the staff has shown incredible compassion and genuine love for the kids. It’s clear that they truly care—not just about safety and supervision, but about each child’s emotional and developmental growth. What sets this daycare apart is their commitment to excellence. The environment is always fun, engaging, and educational. They strike the perfect balance between play and learning, and it’s amazing to see how much the kids grow—socially, emotionally, and intellectually—under their care. We are so grateful for the team here and all the dedication they pour into what they do. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend
