Aggregated insights from public records & parent discussions

The program is a state-licensed child care center (License #1634349) with an initial license date of April 9, 2013, and a current permit issued on August 29, 2016. Records indicate a history of eight inspections and one self-reported incident, though no specific major safety violations or legal issues were found in recent news or public records. The program was recognized as a Texas Rising Star provider across all 20 elementary campuses during the 2020-2021 school year.
Parent Reputation
The program's reputation is mixed, largely tied to the overall standing of Dessau Elementary. While official district communications highlight the program as a high-quality, 'economical option,' local parent discussions on platforms like Reddit have expressed concerns about the school's behavior standards and community environment, with some advising to avoid the campus. Conversely, the district-run nature of the program and its Texas Rising Star status provide a level of institutional credibility.
Staff Insights
The Extended Day Program is operated directly by the Pflugerville Independent School District (PfISD), and all staff members are district employees who are required to be CPR and First Aid certified. While specific reviews for the Dessau campus EDP staff are limited, district-wide employee handbooks state that non-exempt EDP staff receive 1.5x pay for working during breaks and holidays. General PfISD staff reviews describe a supportive but diverse environment with a focus on professional learning communities.
