Very disheartening experience. Lack of boundaries and eliminates children with any challenges. Before joining the school we discussed what our son struggled with, with the director. Who said, it was no problem and they would work with us. The main problem being, biting. After starting, we were working on an ADHD diagnosis for our 3 year old and what resources we needed to best help him because he was very active and strong willed. We did share this with the staff because we were getting calls and messages everyday our child was up there. Some of the calls, very reasonable but then it got to the point that there was a HUGE lack of boundaries and targeting our son. It started to be about anything and then throwing in something about our other child, who had nothing to do with the conversation being had. We did start to feel pushed out about a month before we finally left. As we were going through our testing for ADHD, we had our child tested twice for Autism and we told this to Debbie, the director. He tested negative both times. She began overstepping and telling us what we should tell our doctor. Which was 1. already information that was shared with our doctor but 2. Information that would lead to an Autism diagnosis. She flat out said they did not have the resources to support him. A child with ADHD. Basically if your child doesn't sit down and be quiet for the whole day, they don't want to deal with them. From reading past reviews, it seems like this is a common theme of discrimination against kids who have some challenges. I made a complaint to the board of Northstar and they listened but, the man who was apart of the meeting was condescending. Kim was kind but, neither of them had much to say other than I'm sorry and we'll talk to her about a lack of boundaries. Good news is both of my sons are thriving at our new school. He lets them change his diaper, no tantrums, naps during naptime and has no issues with biting. Makes me really question the environment of this school and why my kids were so uncomfortable. Also so weird that parents have to just drop their kids off outside of the classroom and you never talk to their teachers? Brandee was the only awesome staff member there.

We have been so happy with our experience at North Star Learning Center. The entire staff is AMAZING- communicative, warm, and loves your child like their own. The outdoor classroom and specials provide a perfect way for our toddler to use his energy for learning and play. Our son gets so excited for school, it has been such a comfort as a first time mom. North Star quickly became an extension of our family, and I cannot recommend it enough for your little ones!

Absolutely obsessed with this school! So many neighbors in the community have sent their kiddos here and glad we get to call North Star Learning Center home for our kiddos. They work with the parents and the little ones to ensure educational success.

North Star Learning Center is the BEST. We have loved both of our our children's teachers and the front desk staff are so friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent, and the events are so much fun. I can tell my kids have such a blast, learn so much and have great relationships with their classmates and teachers. We're blessed to have a safe, fun and enriching place to send our kids to that we trust.

We have felt so lucky to be part of North Star. The school is just the right size, small enough to feel like a community and see familiar faces every day and large enough to have a great admin and specials team to support the classes and run enrichment and events. Highly encourage you to visit if you are looking for a daycare for your kid - the facility is one of the best we saw with a variety of airy indoor spaces and shaded outdoor spaces. Even when TX weather is at its worst I know our kids will have space to release their wiggles!

We LOVED our time at northstar, so communicative, teachers who care, the staff is kind and easy to work with and we would recommend them to anyone looking for preschool/daycare. They have a large facility, outdoor classroom, indoor gym, dedicated art and music and library rooms! It's phenomenal!

Excellent preschool. My grandson went here for 3yo and 4yo preschool and had the best experience. He is well prepared to start kindergarten this year.

Our youngest son has attended North Star for a little over 2 years and we have been very happy with our experience. The teachers and staff are phenomenal and genuinely care about their students. The facilities are very nice with a major bonus being the outdoor learning center. Highlights for us have been that you rarely hear crying ( i think it physically hurts Ms Debbie to hear a child cry), Ms Jenny’s science and STEAM class, Ms Rose’s art class and this last year Ms Leonard truly preparing him to move on to Kindergarten. They also offer a lot of opportunities for parent/family involvement. I think my older 2 think they belong there just as much as their brother. Love this place and am grateful for their partnership raising my last baby! We will miss them next year!!

We have been at Northstar for 4 years, 2 boys each from age 3 until right before kindergarten. We are so thankful we found them. Staff is wonderful!! The boys have loved it there and made great friends that we have kept in touch with. They have also been kindergarten ready by the time they started. So many fun activities for the kids. Highly recommend this preschool! Can’t say enough good things about it.

I cannot say enough good things about North Star Learning Center. Both of my children have been at this school for several years, and our family has been consistently blessed by the kind, caring, attentive, invested staff at this school. Every staff member knows each of my kids by name, and they still ask about my son who graduated from their school years earlier. Every day I hear all about the new things they learn in science class, music class, library, or art class. Their curriculum is excellent, and I find that my kids have been well-prepared for kindergarten upon graduation. We would never go anywhere else for preschool!
