TESTIMONIALS
Wesley School genuinely cares for your child. The love and support they give is unmatched. Our daughter went to Wesley in 2004 as an infant and she thrived the entire 4 years she was there. By the time she entered kindergarten, she was prepared and didn't have any separation anxiety. She is currently an A honor student and an accomplished violinist at the Lamar Fine Arts Academy. We currently have our second child at Wesley. He loves being there and is thriving just like his sister did. Thank you, Wesley School!

Wesley School is a hidden gem on the east side! It’s been eleven years since my first daughter attended. Fast forward to 2016, each of my three children have attended and I continue to recommend the school to those I know looking for daycare. Tuition is very affordable compared to other preschools in Austin and I especially love the diversity that Wesley School has to offer!!

Our two girls attended Wesley School from the age of 6 months through PreK. When we chose Wesley school we selected them because we could tell that the staff really cared about the wellbeing of their students. We loved the infant class and the children really liked many of their teachers as they got older, and developed friendships with other students that have extended into early elementary years, even though they are now at different schools."
