What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We love Empowered Kidz! This place is truly a life saver when you need excellent quality childcare drop in style. The facility is super clean and I love that they do fun activities during the day. My 2 year old loves going here!
We couldn’t be happier that our daughter attends Empower Kidz! It has become her happy place. Every time we say, “Do you want to go to the playhouse?” (that is our special name for it) She lights up and jumps with excitement! From the moment she walks in, the team and the space make her feel safe, welcomed, and full of joy. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with separate areas for different ages, so she’s always playing with kids her size and exploring just-the-right activities. If you’re looking for a place where your child will look forward to going, feel comfortable, and actually have fun, we wholeheartedly recommend Empower Kidz Drop-In. It’s been such a gift to our family. Thank you!
We love Empower Kidz! My kids have a blast here! My 2 year old loves to come and walks right in - without even saying bye! He's comfortable and always leaves with a smile. I'm so happy we have this playspace in Lakeway - it's clean, warm, and beautifully designed. The staff is wonderful. We've also attended the family events and weekly stay and plays and they are great!
We have had such a wonderful experience at Empower Kidz! We have been bringing our 5-month-old in for a drop-in visits, and from the moment we walk in, the staff make us feel so welcome and at ease. As new parents it can be nerve-wracking leaving our baby, but their caring and attentive team took the time to learn our baby’s routines, preferences, and personality. The space is clean, bright, and full of engaging toys and activities even for little ones. They provide an in depth log of all feedings/diapers/activities/naps so we can be assured our baby is getting what he needs while he is there. When we pick him up, he is usually happy, well-rested, and clearly comfortable with the caregivers. We’re so grateful to have found such a safe, nurturing place that we can trust for our childcare needs. Highly recommend Empower Kidz to any parents looking for flexible, high-quality childcare!
Beautiful and thoughtfully made space - staff was wonderful with both our toddlers and infants. Spotless space full of enriching toys for a huge range of ages. We will definitely be coming back!!!
