This place needs to be reported! Way too many kids with not enough supervision. Especially when you have so many ages together. We walked in, witnessed an absolute zoo, and walked out. The biggest red flag was the group of children between 4-8 playing with scissors at a table while all teachers were clear across the room. Not the kids safety scissors either. Another brood ran across the room past those and even I lost sight of the scissors. They left the table and who knows where else in the room they ended up. The sparse staff were overwhelmed and clearly frustrated trying to get the kids redirected for a meal. I'm so glad I decided to check this place out before I actually needed to leave my poor kid here.

We love Ashley’s Playhouse as parents and our little truly loves coming here! We use it for date nights and when his school is out and we still need to work. Even though we use it here and there, the staff still know our little guy and they take great care of him! Our little guy loves the variety of activities (e.g., dress up, toys, the indoor tree house, outside play, movie nights, etc.), and he always eagerly runs into the establishment when we arrive.

I've taken my 3 children to Ashley's Playhouse a handful of times. It's so helpful to have a place where I can drop off when I don't have a sitter. They provide meals and snacks if you want. I have a child with allergies and I feel comfortable with the level of care. My kids are always excited to go. Workers are always so nice! The price is totally fair!

5 Stars – Hands Down the Best in Town! Ashley’s Playhouse has been an absolute blessing for me as a single mom. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and care that fills the space. The owner, Ashley, is one of the kindest and most passionate people I’ve ever met. The price is more than fair and it’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does and pours her heart into creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child who walks through the door. The entire staff is just as wonderful—so sweet, patient, and attentive. My daughter absolutely loves going and always comes home with a smile (and a new little toy thanks to their fun token reward system!). It’s such a thoughtful way to encourage good behavior and give kids something to look forward to at the end of the day. I’ve been to many other daycare centers in all of Austin area, and this one is hands down the best in town. Not only is the inside super cool and fun for the kids, but they also get outdoor playtime, so they’re not stuck in a building all day and it’s always very clean. They even have a meal system, which is a lifesaver for busy mornings—no need to pack food if you’re in a rush! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my child is in such loving hands. I truly can’t recommend Ashley’s Playhouse enough. It’s not just a day center, it’s a place where kids are genuinely cared for, and where parents feel supported and welcomed.

We love Ashley’s Playhouse. The staff is truly amazing and treat my son like their own from day. The facility is truly a playhouse for the kids! My son is just in the infant room right now and it is also a nice area for the younger ones. The owner is very kind and greeted us and even introduced us to her kiddos. I know I can always trust them to take great care of my son for the time I need to drop h. Also hours are flexible and you can’t beat the price!
