Would give 10 stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend this daycare enough! After a bad experience at another local daycare, I was so nervous about putting my daughter in daycare for the first time. From our very first visit, I knew this place was different. My daughter stayed here until she was ready for public school, and every step of the way we felt so loved and supported. The staff genuinely care about the children, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. One thing that really impressed me is how little staff turnover they have—so rare these days! Ms. Angela and Ms. Grace were absolutely incredible and made such a positive impact on my daughter. A huge thank you to Director Christy Strawn, who is so kind, accommodating, and truly goes above and beyond for the families she serves. As a busy single mom of two, having a daycare I trusted completely gave me so much peace of mind. They truly became part of my village. If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be safe, loved, and genuinely cared for, this is it. We are forever grateful for everyone here!

I’m so grateful to have found a caring facility! My children love it here’ The caregivers are super amazing, attentive and intentional! I am excited to be apart of the Pillars’ family. Christy told me I would feel like family and I definitely do. The facility is always clean and I love a fresh scent in the air. Always a plus! I hope I continue to have this great experience as my children begin their journey with school transport this August. Super excited!

The Pillars Christian Learning Center has been the start of the learning foundation for our littlest guy since he was 18 months old! They recently had the most beautiful & sweetest pre-k graduation for the kiddos and they really put a lot into it (from the decorations, location, songs, prayers, gift bags, printed photo, & photo areas). You could tell they really love the babies!! I’m thankful I could witness these past few years culminating into such a wonderful event! Thank you Pillars for not only helping to prepare my baby for grade school, but also teaching him about GOD & Jesus!! #Grateful

The Pillars Christian Learning Center in Cibolo is the best Pre-K I could have ever hoped for find for my daughter. The staff are some of the kindest people you could ever meet and they love the children like they are their very own. This school has truly been a blessing in my family’s lives. I don’t feel as worried about my little girl during the day when she is entrusted in their care. She is learning so much and loves chapel time 🙏🏼🩷🌈
