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.

My daughter has been attending The pillars since they opened and it has been nothing but a breath of fresh air. They are very consistent. All my questions or concerns have been answered and taken care of quickly. The building and classrooms are always clean and I never worry about my child being there. She loves all the teachers and everyone knows her name even if they aren’t hers! Definitely recommend this daycare to everyone looking for somewhere that truly cares for children and parents.

We absolutely love Pillars Potranco!! We have been there since opening and don’t think we will ever move! The teachers and staff are wonderful. The communication is great! We love getting updates on our baby throughout the day. The facilities are ALWAYS very clean. Our baby loves to play outside, so we love that they have various playground or different age groups.
