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

Marissa McMichen I have had both kiddos enrolled and have no complaints! Each room my kids are in, I have gotten to know the teachers on a personal level and feel 100% comfortable leaving my babies in their care. Jennifer, Lloyd, and Paige feel like family. Any questions or concerns I may have are always addressed immediately. The teachers send me photos daily and always respond on the app if I message them during the day. I had both kids start at 3 months (room 1). I believe the teachers who have cared for my kids have contributed to making them the sweet, lovable, easy going kids they are! My toddler loves going to school and has never given me a hard time at drop off and that just reassures me that they are loving my babies like I would.

megan howell We just enrolled our baby girl at Apple Tree a few months ago! Everything has been FANTASTIC. Every staff member here is incredibly nice, so welcoming and you can really tell they care about the kiddos. I love the infant room and every single teacher in there is loving, and I really appreciate them and being a BIG part of new mom life and apart of my girls life.

Leticia De Pena We had our sons at AppleTree for over a year and the final straw for us was when my son was blamed for having a stool accident when he was only 2 months into potty training. Based on the video footage I was shown by the Director, he was left alone in a bathroom for roughly 15 minutes while soiled. You were able to tell on the video that he had a genuine accident and was only 2.5 years old. The owners, Jennifer and Lloyd Voigt, never once spoke to us about the incident and have not given us a full refund for the month that my son was not enrolled. I opened a formal investigation but was told AppleTree did not provide the full footage so unfortunately my son receives no justice in what happened to him. I cannot recommend any child attend AppleTree.

Sarah Primiano I recently visited St. John Lutheran Church for the first time with my sister and my 2-year-old son. While I found the worship service meaningful and enjoyable, I was extremely disappointed with the experience in the church nursery. The nursery is intended to provide childcare for children up to age three during worship services. Upon arriving, I was surprised by how impersonal the environment felt. The three young women working in the nursery did not greet me or my son, nor did they make any effort to introduce themselves or engage with him. I sat with him for a few minutes to help him adjust, but the lack of interaction from the caregivers made him visibly uncomfortable. When I attempted to share some information about his interests — such as books and toy cars — and explained that he might cry for a few minutes after I left, my comments were met with little acknowledgment. After I left, I observed through the window for about 15 minutes. During that time, my son stood crying alone in the adjoining room, while the three workers remained in a separate area, engrossed in conversation about college classes. No one attempted to comfort, redirect, or even acknowledge my sons distress. Only after 15 minutes did one of the women approach him with toy trains, at which point he seemed somewhat calmer, allowing me to attend the service. When I checked back again a short time later, I noticed the nursery windows had been covered, preventing parents from seeing inside, which made me feel uneasy. After the service, I found my son standing in the same spot, still crying. The nursery workers said nothing to me when I arrived. It became apparent that his diaper was soiled, and based on the situation, it seemed he had been left in that condition for some time. One of the workers mentioned that he had “just started crying” after they told him I might be coming soon, but it was clear he had been upset for much longer. As a former church volunteer who worked with children, including those with special needs, I was deeply disheartened by the lack of care and attention displayed. It is unsettling that a church would allow individuals so disengaged to care for its youngest attendees. While I truly enjoyed the worship service itself, I cannot recommend the nursery at this church based on our experience. I would strongly encourage any families considering childcare during services to exercise caution.

Karen Oster My son used to go to this church and the former Minister is my Pastors father. I was here for a funeral. Beautiful church.

Mark Cross Great church with friendly staff. Dont miss their summer Vacation Bible School (VBS) program. Nice facility, beautiful stained glass, and amazing display of congregants crosses on the narthex wall. In the winter, their gym is host for St. Peters CYO basketball practices, so its great to see the ecumenical spirit between denominations here in town.

Heather Trevino We went to check out this location when my daughter was two months old as it’s the only location that has a class for 4 months old. I hope they can get more classes for the bugs but, we came back once she turned 4 months to try out a free class. She absolutely loved it and had so much fun. She’s not in daycare so it’s great social skills for her to be around other babies her age. We signed up for her to go once a week now and can’t wait for her to play again with her little baby friends. She slept very well that day lol. She already sleeps pretty well thankfully but, she is as extra rested. It just made me so happy how much fun and see her light up and having so much fun and how excited she was. The staff is super nice and friendly and the place is very clean as well. Very welcoming to parents and children. ***Update*** They do absolutely amazing birthday parties! Made things so much easier and help even with any decorations you buy and make your child’s day so very special! She had so much with her family and friends!!! My child has been coming since 4 months old and has made little friends. We had the best turn out for her first birthday because of her friends she meet at the little gym! The staff is so sweet and welcoming we knew we had to have her party here!

lizbhet Bell We absolutely love The Little Gym of Boerne! It has been such a fun and positive experience for both of my kids—my 4-year-old and my 1-year-old. The classes are engaging, well-structured, and full of energy, and the instructors are so friendly, patient, and great with the kids. My 4-year-old looks forward to every class and has grown so much in confidence, coordination, and social skills. And even my 1-year-old has a blast exploring and interacting in the parent-child classes—it’s the highlight of our week! I really appreciate how clean, safe, and welcoming the environment is. It’s such a great outlet for active play, learning, and development, and I love seeing my kids have fun while building important skills. Highly recommend it to any parent looking for something special for their little ones in Boerne!

Russell Love My son has a December birthday so outdoor parties are usually a no go. The little gym was a great place to host his birthday party! We have the whole place just for us, the kids are active and busy the whole time and the staff is great to work with and helped the kids with various activities. Highly recommend for birthdays, camps, classes and more! They do a great job!

Aimee Schumacher Very structured, every lesson builds on the previous one, very helpful/patient/invested senseis, clean/well organized facility, good times offered for Code Ninja track, my daughter ends class thrilled about the new game/avatar she created or engineering tool she used (e.g. CAD software to draw a unicorn).

Richard Galvez Code Ninjas has friendly and knowledgeable staff, a learning environment that is safe and welcoming, and a well-developed curriculum with excellent progression that allows students to learn at their own pace and in manageable chunks. My son is always excited to attend class and enjoys telling me about what he did and what he learned while in class. The staff provides excellent communication; and being able to both follow my sons progress and sample his projects helps me to appreciate the material that he has learned and how he has engaged with the curriculum.

Korrie Brown Game coding for kids is such a great way for them to develop a valuable skill set by doing something they enjoy. My son started two years ago when he was only 7, and Code Ninjas really captured his attention at such a young age. They really know how to hold the attention of these kids and make it fun at the same time. We love all the Senseis and the owners! They are attentive, patient, knowledgeable and make coding really fun. We also love the camps they offer during summer and holiday breaks. It’s a good way to dive into something they already love (Roblox, Minecraft, YouTube) from a different perspective. Last but not least, their Parent’s Night Out events are awesome! I’m offers a fun and safe environment for kids to get out and socialize with others while playing games (and not just video games)!

Aaron L Both of our kids have been attending Mini-Texans for over a year now. We noticed an improvement in their social skills and educational development. We also like how our Christian values are reinforced by the staff and incorporated in the curriculum. We highly recommend Mini-Texans as the staff seem to have a passion for educating little ones.

Kiana Sonora I am delighted my son has finally been able to start at Mini Texans. Coming from a Montessori program, I was nervous about his transition but the staff, the teachers and most especially the Directors Kyla and Jennifer, have made this transition a breeze. The facility is clean and secure, I love the single entrance and check in process. The teachers are not only teaching basic curriculum but also incorporating Christian values and stories, the crafts are so darling and the environment as a whole is exact what my family needed. He even brought his school prayers home and started teaching siblings and repeating after things we’re excited about by saying “Thank you Jesus!” at three years old! My son is thriving here and it’s absolutely the best choice we could have made for him. We love minis!

Jessica Mitchell My daughter has attended Mini Texans for 5 years now and is an after schooler. Mini Texans has been like family and helped raised her into an awesome caring and smart kiddo! Can not recommend enough!

Emily Flamm St. Mark is an incredible school and community! Weve been to several different preschools/daycares over the years and truly have no complaints about St. Mark. The team is so organized. Everyone on staff knows both of my kids. They get tons of outside play time. Its a fantastic learning and playing environment for young kids!

Katie Brunin Our kids have been at St. Mark for two years now and we love it! The teachers and staff are friendly, caring and truly love the kids. They work very hard to create a nurturing environment and have such creative activities. I love that they go to chapel weekly, have plenty of outdoor time, have no screens and have gyn for hot or rainy days and come home with so much art! They have fantastic communication with parents and work hard to make each child’s experience special. We have been very happy!

Taylor Breaux Both of my children have been at St. Mark’s for almost a year now, and my oldest has been attending since 2022. The teachers and staff are truly second to none. They’re warm, nurturing, and deeply dedicated—not just to early education, but to building real relationships with families. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in how they care for and connect with the kids. The curriculum encourages learning through play, exploration, and creativity. Communication is excellent—we always feel informed and involved. St. Mark’s has created such a strong sense of community and belonging. We’re endlessly grateful to have found St. Mark’s and recommend it wholeheartedly!

Nikki Griffin This school is a very special place. Our children thrive in the small class atmosphere. We love the academic rigor as well as the character development. Our children’s hearts, minds and souls are fulfilled and flourish daily. Take the time to explore Ambleside School of Boerne, you will be glad you did!

John Dearman Our twins love Ambleside and have found a joy of learning. We love the feast of knowledge provided and the focus on the student as a whole person. The teachers truly love and care for each student, motivating them to do their best work. Come and see for yourself.

J Arends Our experience at Ambleside School of Boerne has been exceptional. The masterful teachers are fully invested in every student’s intellectual and spiritual growth. The small class sizes and thoughtfully designed leveled lesson plans have amplified our children’s learning abilities and accomplishments. Ambleside teachers acknowledge the importance of parent and grandparent involvement in a child’s education and are keen to share with them the intellectual and personal achievements of their children. Should an issue arise, they bring it to the parents attention in an exceedingly respectful, considerate manner that centers on the child’s well-being and growth. This is my granddaughter’s third and grandson’s second year at Ambleside School of Boerne. They LOVE every facet of this school, from the caring teachers to the joyful classroom atmosphere to the vigorous and harmonious curriculum. We watch, amazed, as our children develop moral and scholastic habits that will benefit a lifetime through the bountiful Charlotte Mason traditional education they receive at Ambleside School of Boerne. We were immensely blessed to have found this school. If you seek an education that fully prepares your child for a gracious and intellectually satisfying life, I highly recommend you stop at Ambleside School of Boerne for a tour.

Cary Byrd Summit Christian Academy has been a wonderful place for our 3 children to blossom and grow. The University-Model educational system is half the cost, prepares them for college while helping us to reinforce our Christian values and produce disciples for Christ!

H. W. This is our sixth year at SCA. It is the perfect fit for our family. I currently have three children enrolled. They are home with me three days a week (elementary) and we follow lesson plans written by their teachers. Two days a week they are at school where they get to spend time with friends, learn, pray and praise together. It’s the perfect balance. I am actively involved in their education. I know their strengths and weaknesses and I have an open line of communication with their teachers. The classes are small which allows the teacher to cater to the kid’s interests. I’m grateful that University Model Schooling is available in our area. Even after moving, we still make the 30 minute commute to Summit Christian Academy. *Edited to add : Now known as CRESTMONT

Corina Simpkin I could go on and on about the drama and stress this school has caused me, but I’ll just say this, don’t do it. We will not be returning. There needs to be a total heart change in many teachers and the curriculum needs a complete redo. For the sake of the families they continue to put it with it, I pray the school pulls through.

Sarah Thompson My son and daughter are both taking piano for the first time. Im amazed at how quickly they are learning to read music and I love the methodology being used to teach them. They are not just learning it; they are also enjoying it!

Colleen Cruff My 8-year-old daughter has learned a great deal in these first few months. Playing familiar music has been enjoyable for her, and I love that an emphasis is placed on ear training as a compliment to music theory. It has been a good fit.

Matthew & Shantell Olson My daughter’s piano instructor strives for not only skill, but enjoyment. It is the right combination for her, to be challenged but at a pace that makes playing what it is meant to be, fun!

Jessica Miller We love FBC Preschool! The teachers are wonderful and my daughter thrived here. They do a great job getting kids ready for kindergarten. I would definitely recommend this wonderful preschool!

Tristen Patterson We have explored several schools and daycare options, and this one has proven to be the best by far. Our son looks forward to attending every day and consistently expresses his excitement about going to school. We are truly grateful to have found such a wonderful and supportive environment that is the perfect fit for him.

J S You will not find a better preschool for your kiddo. The teachers, staff and resources they have are all amazing and magical.

Emerald Ocean 2beautiful This school is so amazing i love the beautiful campus, small classes, they teach through play and teach kids about Gods love and creation they nurture outdoor exploration, wonderful programs that make this school so special! I can feel comfortable that my child is in great hands there!

Patti Barron All three of my children have attended preschool at Saint Helena’s early enrichment program. The teachers are the absolute best in Boerne, it is evident they truly love and adore the students. My kids had fun learning in the age appropriate play based curriculum all while the love of the Lord was being instilled into their little hearts and minds. We are forever grateful for our great years and memories made at Saint Helena’s.

Julia Turbes I highly recommend Boerne Head Start! All of the teachers are so kind to each child, truly encouraging each to their strengths. They keep parents informed on childs progress and encourage parent participation. My child has thrived by their foundation of learning. I am confident we made the BEST choice for our pre-k child. I love this school!!!! Many thanks and words cannot express how truly good they are!!!
