As you can probably tell from the content on this blog and the fact that I have time to do a blog like this, my wife and I don’t have kids at this time.
Because of this I feel this blog lacks information in one of the biggest aspects of Steiner Ranch: kids and schools. I am looking for someone who has information they would like to put up on this blog to the readers on those two topics. If you are interested send me an e-mail at steinerranchinfo@gmail.com

My children attend Children’s Center of Austin. The director is leaving, and the staff seems to be talking about leaving as well. I haven’t been impressed with them since my children started attending a few months ago and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for childcare that is local to Steiner? I heard a rumor that a montessori school is opening in the community, does anyone have any information?

we had our child at children’s center and recently moved to primrose school of 4 points. there is a long wait list as it seems that many parents are trying to pull their children out of the children’s center of steiner ranch and into other schools. primrose is great and they are in the process of being deemed as an accredited institution. children’s courtyard in river place is apparently better than children’s center (hard not to be) and kids r kids in lakeyway is apparently decent, too.

My son attends Primrose of Four Points. There was a waiting list when he joined, but I called about once a week and they were ready to take him in about a month. It’s a great place.

I just talked with the owners of the new pre-school opening in the Shops at Steiner Ranch. They were very nice and open to talking to people in the community. Build-out should begin soon.

Our son (age 4) attends Bluebonnet Montessori in Lakeway and loves it. We love it too.
We did try the Children’s Ctr of Austin at the Welcome center and were anything but impressed. Nice, clean facilities but something is terribly wrong with staffing as the turnover is ridiculous. What’s going on?

I am also interested in getting more information on the new pre-school opening in Steiner. Maybe Rick can get them to post some info.

My wife has contacted the owners to let them know about this blog so you’ll likely see some information on the school and ways to contact them soon.

Rising Stars is owned by a Steiner Ranch family. They are nice people.

My daughter attends Rising Stars Preschool and loves it. Great teachers! The owners live in Steiner and also have young children. It is a terrific program and only a 10 minute drive.

I was very bummed to see that The Children’s Center here in Steiner got such bad reviews. I will be needing childcare for my infant in August. I was planning on taking her there b/c it’s just too convienient. Does anyone have any suggestions about infant (4 months) care around this area????

You should check out the the Primrose School, just off 2222, behind the JW Tumbles and the IBC Bank. My son goes there and we love it there.

My son and his best friend attend Mother’s Time Off, located in Canyon Glen in a woman’s house - she is simply wonderful and they learn so much and have such a great time. She has a great playscape in the back and she has them doing such fun science experiments, math, reading, etc.

Any word on when the Montessori school will be opening in Steiner Ranch?
20 Bill // May 21, 2008 at 7:52 pm
I heard it will be open sometime in July. Looks like the construction is underway.

Children’s Courtyard in the River Place entrance is WONDERFUL. We have been there since they opened and temporarily tried a DIFFERENT Children’s Courtyard - but we NOT pleased at ALL. This location has been FABULOUS and my 2.5 y.o. son LOVES going to school every day!

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the weekly tuition for your son?

The Children’s Center of Austin has taken a complete turn around. Miss Carrie, the new director is amazing. Since she has started, the turnover is minimual. She strives to keep the lines of communication open and is always a breath of fresh air when you walk thru the door.
I recommend parents to tour or call and speak with her about your concerns.

While I am not writing on schools, I am writing on kids, or rather a service I would like to offer Steiner Ranch that focuses heavily on kids. I am a professional pastry chef. I have earned 2 degrees from 2 culinary schools all focusing on Baking and Pastry. My passion has always been cakes, specifically children’s cakes.
I would like to offer a specialty custom cake service specifically to the Steiner Ranch. As I am a resident here, I would offer free delivery at your convenience. Most of my cakes are geared specifically towards children’s themes. All decorations are hand crafted and edible!
Any feedback anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
