Top Rated 15 Schools in New Braunfels, TX - A Guide for Parents and Students

Christine Miller We’re so happy with the care and knowledge our child receives at Goddard. The teachers and staff are friendly and take the time to really get to know both us and our child. It’s clear they care about each child’s growth and development. Our son is excited to go every day and always has fun while learning!

Jessica Slaton My daughter has flourished and thrived while at the Goddard school of New Braunfels. The curriculum is amazing and her loving teachers are absolutely the best. We wish Goddard went all the way to grade 12! The cost to have your child at an amazing school is priceless, everything from the focus on writing and reading skills, science and art, fitness and nutrition, not to mention learning Spanish and Mandarin. We couldnt be more pleased!

ericantonietti1 Goddard Pre School in New Braunfels, TX has been such an incredible experience for our son. The instructors are so friendly and they genuinely care about the students. My son constantly talks about his teachers Mrs. Kassidy and Mrs. Catherine. When we drop him off in the morning he always has a smile on his face as soon as he sees his teachers and his classmates. The Directors at Goddard are just as friendly and have been extremely accommodating when we have asked for help with anything at all. I also appreciate how they have such a great curriculum for the students. We can see how our son is learning new things each and every day at school. The kids get the perfect balance of learning as well as outdoor play and gym time. I could continue with all the amazing things we like about Goddard but just take a tour of the school and you’ll see for yourself how clean it is, how organized the classrooms are, and how much the kids enjoy being there.

Rey Mendoza We’ve had the absolute best experience with Pillars! They’re a joyful and supportive community of teachers. From day one, the team has exuded contagious energy, and it’s always good vibes! They make every day feel special with fun activities and events that involve the whole family. When our son was in the Pediatric ICU, they didn’t just check in — they went above and beyond, sending cards and gifts that were hand-delivered to the hospital by the chaplain. That level of care speaks volumes about who they are, and I will cherish that memory forever. They are truly invested in the well-being and spiritual growth of every child. I’ve seen it in the hallways between staff and families, in every warm front desk greeting, and in every thoughtful moment since my son started here as a six-month-old. He’s now almost two, and I can’t imagine a better group of people to have by his side. The teachers are incredibly patient and understanding — with the kids and with us parents. Their reassurance has meant the world. It’s been a beautiful journey so far, and we’re so grateful to be part of this amazing community. Best, Rey

Ashlyn Thomas-Smith I am so thrilled with our experience with The Pillars. We originally had our girls at another location but due to moving we had to switch locations. I am so elated to see that the curriculum is followed and the children are engaged. They are not just being babysat. This school is a great investment for your child’s education and spiritual life. I am grateful for this school and highly recommend. Although this is a different campus, the experience is the same everywhere ! This location also has a welcoming environment every time I walk in. Coffee and fresh spa water available for parents and guardians. A wonderful aromatherapy when you walk in so if you felt stressed, you won’t be. There seems to be a smooth flow and that they are a team too. As someone who has worked in education and childcare, it’s vital to have a strong team! And if none of that was enough, you can feel the love of God and for people all through the center.

Danyelle Seneca The Pillars Christian Learning Centers has been such a blessing for our family! Our preschooler is thriving here—he’s happier than ever, always talking about the fun he has with friends and the Bible stories he learns each day. For our older child, the convenience of bus pickup and the extra homework support have been so helpful, especially with our busy schedules. We also can’t say enough good things about their spring and summer camps—they’re filled with creativity, fun, and meaningful activities. We’re so thankful to have found a place that feels like a second home for our kids!

Carolyn Witting We love Kids R Kids Westpointe. Our daughter loves her teachers and always has a smile on her face when we pull into the parking lot. I love that not just her teachers know and love her but the front office staff does too. The classroom lesson are age appropriate and are helping her learn so much! I can’t say enough good things about KRK, we are so thankful for them and all they do for our daughter!

Todd Sump We have a 3 almost 4 year old that has been attending since she was 8 months old. This is a very clean well kept academy. We feel very good about how safe our child is at krk. We really like the the apps they have. We are able to check on our child threw there camera. They also send us pictures and updates on what they are learning and doing through out the day. The playground is nice and Secure which is something we really like as well. They host plenty of events through out the year which is nice to meet staff and other parents.

Maggie Olson We have had such a wonderful experience with Kids R Kids! The teachers and staff are so warm and attentive. My son had a hard time during drop off for his first couple weeks and now he walks in, says bye, and is off to play with the other kiddos in his class. We are so happy! He has learned so much academically and socially since being here. He will come home and sing songs he learned at school from circle time with his teachers. We are always informed with what is going on in the building or in his classroom. The facility is very clean, safe, and well maintained - which gives us a peace of mind everyday. We couldn’t be happier with Kids R Kids and thank you to his teachers and staff for providing the absolute best care for our little ones. Thank you and we appreciate you!!

John Lienhard We absolutely love Kiddie Academy! The staff genuinely cares for our two daughters, and its evident in the way our girls talk about their day. The lunches served are fantastic and nutritious, and its always exciting to hear about the new foods they try and enjoy. The curriculum is also excellent. Our oldest daughter is about to start kindergarten, and thanks to the wonderful preparation she has received at Kiddie Academy, she is truly set up for success. We couldnt be happier with the care and education provided here. Highly recommend!

Danielle Buxton We have had our daughter at KA since it opened. Since then, she has come out of her shell and made friends. She was a very shy kiddo but she has friends that she meets outside of school for play dates since meeting them at Kiddie Academy. The school has a dual language class that she is apart of and this has been her jam! She LOVES going to school. We love that the staff is kind and open to discussions. We are sad because this will be her last year as she goes off to kindergarten in August. I will say this school has provided her with the curriculum and play that she needed to grow and develop!

Velvet Sparks As a former staff member at Kiddie Academy, I can wholeheartedly say that this institution is an exceptional choice for your childs first educational experiences. If you’re considering where to start your child’s journey in learning, look no further! The dedicated staff members are not only highly qualified, but they also possess a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. From infants to pre-kindergarten, each child is treated with the utmost care and affection. The leadership team fosters an environment that emphasizes both safety and developmental growth, ensuring that every child feels secure and valued. They go above and beyond in their efforts to build a strong partnership with parents, making it easy to feel at ease when leaving your precious little one in their capable hands. With their innovative programs and individualized attention, you can trust that your child’s early education will be both enriching and enjoyable. Ms.Velvet

Bre Alexis Love Blue Bird! My daughter is currently in the toddler class and we love Ms.Iris, Ms.Katelyn, and Ms.Felicity!!

Sarah Hopper Bluebird Kids Academy is seriously the best in town! I’ve had all 3 of my children at bluebird and we really wouldn’t be anywhere else. They love these babies. And they care deeply for their staff because they know they are caring for these kids everyday. They are invested. They are engaged. They truly care about what they are doing. The owners. The staff. They are all in it because they believe in taking care of these babies. I am truly so thankful!

Daniel OQuinn I’ve had a child in every part of BBKA (infant/toddler, preschool, and elementary afterschool care) and can confidently say that there is nowhere else I’d have my children then there. Teachers have the perfect balance of care and structure. The admin team are communicative and friendly. Our middle child who has moved on to elementary school still asks to go back to school ”bue bird” to see her teachers! Highly recommend to anyone searching for great child care.

Jared During the Covid craze my wife and I moved our kids out of another facility and drove 30 miles out of the way to bring them to New Braunfels Academy. This is one of the few daycares that seemed to apply a rational approach to the hysteria. Ms. Lisa does a phenomenal job of making sure the classes are taking care of each age group. Kids are fed on schedule, they take routine naps, and have plenty of playtime to get their energy out & keep them engaged. Teachers are also responsive when we message them. Paul and Lisa have earned our trust and we will keep our kids there for years to come.

Hayley Romero My child always loves his days at school. He has so many friends and loves his teachers. His teachers are so great with him when he’s having a rough day or not feeling himself. If we have any issues or concerns Lisa handles it before the next school day.

Kourtney Reneau Our son has been attending New Braunfels Academy for about 9months now. He absolutely loves his teachers and all his friends at school! We constantly get updates on how he’s doing throughout the day & I know he is so loved

Heather Engler The owners and teachers at Little Einsteins were wonderful with our son. Im so grateful for the excellent care he received in his nearly two years at Little Einsteins. Little Einsteins isnt the newest or most beautiful facility in town, but it is the people inside that make all the difference in the world. The teachers at Little Einsteins are all there because they love children. You dont have to worry about their classroom being a revolving door. My son had the same two main teachers his entire time there. They create activities that are meaningful and engaging for the children. Every time I walked into the classroom I saw children that were happy and engaged in hands on learning. They are absolutely one of the best childcare centers in town with regards to the level of care and the quality of education provided to each child. They understand that children are individuals and dont expect them to fit a cookie cutter mold. Caring, nurturing teachers, and age appropriate and engaging activities are what sets this center apart.

Katie Saldana Could not recommend more! My daughter is 2 and has been there since she was 4 months old. Her level of vocabulary is astonishing for her age and can already count to 10 and she can even recognize some vocabulary words, letters, and number from flash cards. They care so much about your children and all of the teachers are amazing. The best part of all of it is that they have so much fun with the students and always have fun activities for them to be kids.

Lizzy Doe Little Einstein’s is the best preschool (and daycare) in New Braunfels. My son attended 3 other facilities before landing at Little Einstein’s and the reason I love this school so much is because of the level of care the teachers have in the children. They are all highly trained and put an immense amount of attention into ensuring every child’s needs are being met while they grow, learn, and thrive. Little Einstein’s does not have a revolving door with new staff starting frequently (like other daycare centers). The teachers and directors are well established and have been there for 10+ years. My only regret is that we didn’t find LE’s sooner!

Danielle Trump Cross Lutheran Church and School is truly a gem, earning a solid 5 out of 5 from our family. Our daughter is thriving there, thanks to the warm family atmosphere cultivated by the dedicated teachers and staff. The small class sizes are a big plus, allowing teachers to give personalized attention to each students needs. Were genuinely grateful for the investment Cross makes in every child.

Steven purvis So I have been a Cross parent for 4 years. The teachers and staff have been great to our family. They have helped our children grow immensely and we are treated like family by everyone there. Cross Luthern School is a small private school that is perfect for students that would get lost in your traditional schools. The teachers and staff care greatly about each student. There is a focus on spreading the word of God, and ensuring each child reaches his or her potential. As for some of the other reviews, Cross is Small school and costs less than other local schools. It relies on student tuitions to pay the bills. So tuition policies are in place for a reason. You bend the rules for one family you have to bend them for all. There are two fundraising events, one at the beginning of the year, and one at the end of the year. These events help to pay for school supplies, as well as, upgrades and maintenance to the school facilities. Cross invites all parents to be a part of the school and involved in the school functions. I have been at Cross numerous times assisting in school events and never once witnessed staff hurt children. As for my children, they will be Eagles as long as they can. We love the school and the staff.

Michelle Rivera We love this school and the teachers are amazing! The staff and teachers are kind, loving, and caring for our family. Both of my girls are doing great and learning tons through hands on activities, learning units, projects, books, and so much more. This school has been a wonderful choice for our family.

Jennifer Tennyson This place is amazing. We went for the trial, when your a mother you have an idea about how children should be treated in a place like this and that’s EXACTLY what they did! Everyone was upbeat, fun, friendly and high-fiving kids and everything! Everyone was so happy, all the kids for the lessons as well. Definitely a must! I have a happy 7 year old that cried when the lesson was over and wanted to stay longer. ♥️

David Taylor Best place for kids and teenagers to be just that - very great management and owner. You won’t be disappointed — we are on kid number 2 enjoying the experiences.

Bethany Bryan My son loves this place! Makes learning fun! If this was in place in my day I would have never quit music!

Crystal Smith Its my daughters first year attending this school. I am deeply grateful to the school. The staff is the best at what they do. It beats my imagination every time I look at her weekly test scores. She is learning more than I expected and shes always excited about school. Thank you for being role models to the children and impacting their lives positively. God bless you and the works of your hands.

Gabe Tarango When we arrived in the San Antonio area we searched for a Christian school for our five children. We found many, but also realized that we could not afford private education for five children so resorted to enrolling our children in public school. The week before they were to begin, a pastor from a church we had visted came to our home for a visit. We told him about the decision we had made and he strongly advised us against doing so, saying he would work with us to keep our children in a Christian school, no matter what it took. We took that as a sign from God and continued looking for a Christian school. Altough the drive was a bit further than we would have liked, Calvary Baptist Academy was the school we chose. We were very happy with the school. It was exactly what our family needed at the time...Christian education at a reasonable price.

Carmen Hawkins My family chose CBA because we wanted our child to have a Christian education. The school meets that requirement with the curriculum and chapel services during school, but is also giving her a great education. The staff are dedicated and caring. I would absolutely recommend CBA.

Joycelyn Anderson Everyone was nice & helpful

Samuell Price Several of my kids have gone here for Pre-K and kindergarten in past years. Love the facility and staff. Great environment for most kids to learn and grow. Many on staff are bilingual in Spanish and English.

Danielle Edwards What an amazing school!! The staff and admin are fantastic. My kids both LOVED going to school here. I would give 10 stars if I could!
