Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This is a full time daycare setting and my child is not yet in the official preschool section, but he does learn a lot and they do have organized learning activities as well as a lot of time for play which I feel is most important at this age.
Parent #2
All the teachers are very personal to the kids. They treat the kids like there own. They build a trust to the kids and parents
Parent #3
My daughter started attending B.L.L.C.C. at 6 months old. The management of this daycare is exceptional. The teachers are friendly, caring and educational driven. When I drop off my daughter, I am 110% confident in my daughter's care. I know my daughter is receiving overall excellent care; nutritionally, academically, socially, medically, behaviorally and most important in a safe, nurturing, loving environment. The staff at B.L.L.C.C. has become a part of our family. My daughter had some speech and developmental delays. She received speech therapy through Pflugerville ISD once a week. It was the consistently and educational training at B.L.L.C.C. that made the profound difference. She was socially withdrawn and didn't interact much with her peers. Her gross motor skills were somewhat delayed. It was the intervention of this daycare that truly progressed her in these areas. I cannot say enough positive things about B.L.L.C.C. They deserve the highest praise and recognition. Most Sincerely!

Being Savvy Today
On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
