The Nest Schools PearlandWe love The Nest! It made going back to work so much easier knowing our daughter was so well taken care of. We love that Miss Mechelle has been with our daughter since she started and keeps the toddlers so busy that our daughter sleeps so hard!

It was time and Ms. Nery and her team made this transition so easy. I trust them with my life. My girls have learned so much from them and have them well prepared for…

I appreciated everything about this place! The prices were manageable and they…

The Nest Schools PearlandComing back to re-update my review. Its been year now and we still love sending our daughter here. Still 5 stars. She has been with Ms Michelle for most of her time and we love her. We love all the photos we get. They do so many activities with the kids. We are incredibly happy to send our daughter somewhere where she is so cared for every day.
