Our first year here in San Antonio I was so nervous to put my baby in a daycare, but thanks to the Pillars and Mrs. Gracie my son had the best experience! She was so kind, loving and caring. My son learned so much and made so many friends, I couldn’t be more thankful for the security, the love and the welcoming atmosphere!

My wife and I love the Pillars on Potranco Rd. My son has been going to the Pillars for about 6 months now. The staff is friendly and always helpful if any concerns arise. The facility is always clean and the outdoor play area is nice. Even though my son is only 2 we like the lesson plans they are teaching him.

I am going on a year with my son here at this location and all I can say is Wow! Going to work and leaving my son feels so comfortable knowing he's in great hands. Walking in and everyone one knowing his name to greet us is the best feeling. I have had nothing but positive experiences at Pillars. From the Director down to every employee my family has been treated with respect and love. I also enjoy all the work they put in for events or pictures for the little ones. Truly the best choice in childcare.
