All three of our daughters have gone here and the staff truly care about the kids. They make creative artwork and do lots of neat projects and even invite the parents for Thanksgiving meal with the kids. I would recommend Day Nursery to my friends & family. A+
My daughter has been going here for about a month and a half. It's our first daycare experience and took her a while to adjust. Everyone we encounter knows her name and comforts her when she gets upset. They were patient with her when she was struggling to adjust. I get messages and pictures. Good price for the area.
Not sure which location but I'm worried for these kids safety. I went to the zoo today and seen the staffs shirts which was labeled this day care. I went to the bathroom and the lady who accompanied the children was name Marissa. The teacher made the little girls use the bathroom with the door open and also brought a boy in there with her a older boy which was probably 7. She was yelling at the girls to hurry to use the bathroom and that they were wasting her time at the zoo. If your child goes here please be careful with that teacher.

Our son goes to DNA on Vine and we absolutely love it there! We came from base CDC nightmare and are so so thankful to be at DNA! We honestly got lucky that there was a spot that opened up with being on the list and not being able to get in anywhere else. We now don’t want to be anywhere else. They welcomed our son with so much kindness and it has been an amazing experience from day one. Amanda and her girls are incredible at what they do and we only have positive things to say about DNA! Our son loves his teachers and already in the next room with same great experience and love for his teachers Pinny and Maliyah. We know he’s happy when he goes to them with open arms and smiles as soon as we drop him off, it is such a great feeling to know your baby is taken care of while we’re at work. Highly recommend any of the DNA facilities.

All three of my children have attended Day Nursery of Abilene on Vine St. The teachers and staff have loved on our kids and taught them so much. The staff establishes great rapport with the parents and builds an environment that feels like family. My husband and I know that our kids are in good hands when they are there. The professionalism, love, and dedication each staff member gives every day is unmatched!!

DNA Vine is absolutely the greatest! We moved here almost 2 years ago and finding a day care was scary. We had no friends or family in the area to recommend any to us. I looked into DNA and when I called I could immediately sense the authenticity and care pouring out of the facility. Amanda, Chrissy, and Christy always welcome you, answer the phone with no hesitation, and will always guide me through any of my ridiculous questions. My daughter has been through 2 ages of rooms now and I’m still so happy with our choice. When we walk down the halls, all the teachers know her name and know I’m her mom. Which may not seem like much but with the crazy in this world, it reassures me that the security around there is more than just a doorbell and locked front door. I hear the way the teachers in other rooms talk to children when they don’t necessarily know a parent is around the corner. It’s full of love and care. The summer camp program for school agers is PHENOMENAL. They do 3-4 field trips a week and constantly find new activities to keep the kids engaged. It’s more than a day care. It’s a home away from home. DNA is in our DNA!

Lovely teachers, lovely staff, lovely director! My son has been attending for 2 months and he's loving it. It's such a warm, happy place. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful childcare center in Abilene. Highly recommended!
My three year old started there a couple of months ago and she absolutely loves it!! The staff is very welcoming. They all know her and are always friendly and happy. They are also very involved in her day and know her individual eating habits and potty habits. It's evident the care about the kids they care for. We couldn't be happier with our decision to trust them with our daughter.
