Our daughter started at 15 months old, and since she had never been to daycare before, we knew it would be a big adjustment. But the amazing teachers in the baby room made the transition so smooth and comforting. Now she’s 3 years old and absolutely loves going to daycare each day! We just finished an Easter event for the kids and it was so much fun we love how involved the families get to be! We are beyond thankful for every single staff member and I would name them all but you should just go see for yourself! Mrs. Madalyn, Mrs. Michelle, and Mrs. Elaina at the front desk have been with us since day one, and their kindness, patience, and warm smiles have meant the world to our family. They’ve helped make Whistle Stop/The Pillars feel like a second home. We wholeheartedly recommend to any family looking for a loving, supportive, and nurturing daycare!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE The Pillars Richardson/Murphy ! Best daycare ever! Where do I start??? They love our 2 yr old lil guy which is super important obviously 😉 The Pillars is SO organized from top to bottom: excellent curriculum and activities, excellent monthly lunch/snack menu, great app to keep us informed and reminded of events. I feel tuition/fee is extremely fair! I love the daily communication , love the security of the building, love the cleanliness, fun theme weeks! The Pillars is always decorated BEAUTIFULLY and ELABORATELY for holiday and theme weeks. I can’t imagine being anywhere else ❤️

We are so grateful for The Pillars and their faith-based curriculum, strong values, and nurturing, home-like environment. Our children always felt safe and looked forward to going each day. By the time they graduated from PreK, they were already reading and fully prepared for Kindergarten. The administration has consistently been supportive, positive, and focused on the needs of the children throughout our time with the school. Ms. Lana in PreK is truly outstanding!

Our experience at The Pillars has been nothing short of amazing! My son started there in October 2024 at just 21 months old, and it was his first time in daycare. Initially, he struggled with the transition, but the incredible teachers and staff provided him with the support he needed. They comforted him, held him, and showered him with love until he felt comfortable. Fast forward to now, and he is thriving, happy, and excited to go to daycare every day! He has learned so much and has truly blossomed thanks to the nurturing environment at The Pillars. If you're looking for a place where your child will feel loved, safe, and well taken care of, I highly recommend The Pillars. They have a wonderful curriculum that truly makes a difference in child's development. We drive 30 minutes each way to bring him here, and it’s absolutely worth it for the peace of mind we get knowing he is in great hands. Thank you, The Pillars, for all that you do!

We absolutely love Whistle stop! Our daughter has been going since January. From the minute you walk in the door the office staff greets you. If you have any problems they are quickly to handle. Our daughter has ezcema and they were amazing at constantly keeping her moisturized. This is our third daycare and we don’t plan on going anywhere else. We love her teachers. They’re absolutely amazing. I could go on and on about this place and how amazing it is. When you drop off her teachers always welcome her with open arms and she’s so happy to be there!
