Casa Meraki Austin

Casa Meraki has been an open and inviting experience. Claudia has been a wonderful and patient teacher to our son, and is creating new ways to challenge him daily. Change can be hard and this child care center underwent a mgt change and challenges earlier this year. Overall, we are very happy with the level of attention, academics and care Casa Meraki has provided to our son and our neighbors who attend as well. It continues to be a loving and now a Spanish immersion learning environment, would certainly recommend.

Our daughter has really enjoyed going to Casa Meraki. Claudia has a passion for early childhood development and ensures the children are safe, happy, and learning. I appreciate the Spanish immersion and Montessori style set up. I feel great dropping her off for her day, which is invaluable as a working parent.

We love Casa Meraki! We've been coming to this facility since January, and there was a change in ownership shortly after we started. It's always a little unsettling when things change, but we decided to stay and I am so, so glad we did. Ms. Claudia and Ms. Maribel are SO incredible with our 9 month old son. We get so many pictures of him throughout the day and he always has the biggest smile. They are so sweet and kind and our little guy always comes home happy, well-rested, and well-fed. I'm also very pleased at the Spanish immersion set up. We're already getting bilingual arts and crafts. :) Couldn't recommend this place enough!!

Our daughter has been with Wonderhouse since Jan 2024 and this review is much delayed. We love that the class sizes are small at 3-5 kiddos and that the teachers are all attentive and observant, we started in the infant class and she has since moved up to the 1-2s. Updates and pictures are provided throughout the day on the brightwheel app and teachers reach out immediately if anything is out of the norm. The director is also approachable and communicative about changes and together with the staff have created a nurturing and warm environment. They also have a great backyard and do lots of outdoor time when the weather permits!

Update to review/downgrade to 1 star (would give 0 if I could): the new management of former Wonderhouse has horrible communication. After they took over all of the teachers quit 24 hours later, they held a meeting with parents and kept cutting us off and not letting us give input (even though they asked for it) because they didn’t like the negative feedback they were getting. My favorite quote from the meeting was regarding CCS/tx workforce payment (foster kids, single parents, low income, etc subsidization) where the new owner, Claudia, said “I was going to suggest a planting party for the children in the backyard, but I see that money is an issue at this daycare” simply because we had asked if she is continuing the CCS contract with Travis County. Highly do not recommend. I am VERY SAD Reem had to sell, and all of the teachers left this daycare in terrible management hands. July 2024: We absolutely love it here! We transferred our little girl here after a HORRIBLE experience at another daycare, and after talking with Reem about our concerns at the other place, she was super helpful with our transfer and making our little one feel welcome. The teachers are so attentive! Nikki loves doing crafts and singing songs with the kiddos. They play outside a lot and our daughter always comes home in such a good mood! The communication from teachers and staff is top notch! We were a little apprehensive since there isn't a live feed stream we can watch, but with the amount of photos and updates we get daily it feels like we are watching her! Highly recommend Wonderhouse! I can't even find all of the words to say how much we love it here & are so thankful we found this little slice of daycare heaven.
