Excel Academy Southlake

The only people I’ll trust with my baby!

I can’t say enough good things about Excel Academy Southlake. I went back to work when my daughter was almost one year. Before sending her to daycare, I researched, asked other local moms, narrowed down a list, and then interviewed facilities. The staff at Excel Academy made the choice easy. They interacted with my daughter, immediately connected with her and gave me time to answer all my questions. They allowed me to chat with another parent and see the entire facility which made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my sweet girl.

Now, three months in, they have completely blown me away with my expectations of what daycare was vs what they give us. Their approach to childcare is thoughtful, passionate and well-researched. My daughter has grown so much by being around the staff and the other children. She’s finally picked up on the baby signs we had been modeling at home because they reinforce them there. The teachers in her room work with me on her feeding plan and keep me updated with any milestones they see her hitting. They have all kinds of activities I wouldn’t have thought of doing with a one-year-old. Age appropriate art, plenty of outside time and tons of books and songs. Their communication response time is amazing.

Even outside of regular care, they feel like family. My daughter recently had some health issues and had to be hospitalized. They messaged us several times just to let us know how much they missed her and asking about her health. It felt so nice to know that the people who look after her every day were thinking about her even when she wasn’t there.

It takes a village to raise a child and I’m so happy that I found these people to add to our village. If you’re considering Excel Academy Southlake as an option for daycare, stop your search now and just go for it. We love them.

Special recognition to the Director Lisa, who is incredibly warm and thoughtful. And her teachers Mariyah and Kimberly, who my daughter loves. My child is a little reserved when it comes to choosing her people and she has made such a great connection with them.

Excel Academy is hands down THE BEST daycare I’ve been to, and I’ve had experiences with 4 different daycares in the area. I have a very spirited child and they worked hard with me to find ways to best handle some challenging situations and after attending this place for over year, my son is thriving! The teachers care immensely about their students. They have so many activities the kids do like soccer, chess, dance, karate, to name just a few. They communicate, they love kids, and I’m so deeply grateful to everyone there for helping us, and for providing a fun learning environment and a place I can feel good about bringing my son to. He’ll be going into kindergarten this fall and he when it comes up he says he’s sad and doesn’t want to leave Excel Academy. That says everything right there. Give this school a try, you will not regret it!!

Big hugs & blessings to everyone at Excel Academy. We love you! ❤

I took great consideration into where I was going to send my 20 month old. The director Lisa is a breath of fresh air! I am extremely happy with my choice on Excel Academy! My son looks forward going to preschool 3 times a week and my mama heart can rest easy knowing he’s in great hands!

We have had a great experience at Excel Academy. The director, Lisa, is a strong leader who genuinely cares about each family and child. The teachers provide a loving and nurturing environment. The school also offers great supplemental activities that the kids enjoy. We are so grateful to have found Excel Academy!

It’s hard for me to express what a blessing Excel Academy has been for our family. We found Lisa and her wonderful school after a horrific experience at a “premier” preschool in Southlake, where my then two-year-old was mistreated terribly and it was hidden from us by the school. I never thought I could leave my children with anyone again. Then my husband and I met Lisa and Monica. As soon as I walked in, I could feel the calm, warm energy of the building. What I love most about Excel is how personally Lisa and her team take it, from relationships with all the children- whether it is their teacher or not- to knowing all of the parents, to genuinely caring about the well-being of every child. It’s clear that for Lisa and her wonderful teachers, childcare and early education aren’t a business…they’re a passion. My oldest can be a lot. He is a very sweet, deeply feeling kid and what he went through at the prior school made him incredibly reactive and anxious. Over the last 6 months at Excel, I’ve watched his teachers pour into him, never treating him like a difficult child, only seeing what a wonderful boy he is. I’ve watched his joy return and he is truly blossoming. He adores his teachers, something I never thought I would see again. I can tell he feels safe, and we know every day that our boys are safe and loved. Our youngest is in Caterpillars, the infant room, and to see how loved he is by his teachers is heart-warming. Leaving your baby is hard, but leaving them in the arms of people who love them and care for them like their own makes it easier.

On top of everything else, our boys are learning so much. The curriculum at Excel is somehow both advanced and age-appropriate at the same time.

We just can’t say enough about Lisa and the Excel Family, or how grateful we are to have found them.

I’ve had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of taking care of the kids camp here at EVO entertainment this summer! They are always such a delight to see ! I can’t even begin to say how AMAZING their camp leaders Kim and Kendal are!! They are beyond kind , caring and so devoted to ensure not only the safety of the kids but to be so attentive to all their needs as well as providing them such a fun filled trip ! Look forward to the remaining weeks we have together and in high hopes to see you all back again next summer!

Outstanding daycare for our son. He started at 18 months and just had his 2-year old birthday. They have been very flexible and accomodating. Teachers, curriculum, activities, and programs are all top notch.

This is a place where you can tell they genuinely care about the children.

Excel Academy has been the best childcare facility. My daughter has been here for 2 1/2 years. Mrs. Lisa has selected the greatest teachers.

My family loves Excel Academy! The director, Lisa Davis, and all the teachers are exceptional! My children have learned chess, Chinese, Japanese, dance and more! The curriculum focuses on encouraging kindness and confidence. Highly recommend this preschool and after school program!

My kids loved their years at Excel !!! Miss Maki is awesome!! she puts a lot of hard work in making kids ready for Kinder.

Love the rest of the staff as well they are always ready to help and work with you in any situation .
Overall had an amazing experience !!!

We have been with Excel Academy for 3 months now and I can't say enough about these wonderful people! This was our first experience with a daycare/academy (we toured several places!) and I was incredibly nervous at the beginning but the staff has been so incredibly patient, loving, and helpful that I can't imagine my kiddos being anywhere else. Our two main teachers (Mrs. Marga and Mrs. Shima) are fantastic!! They go above and beyond for the children and my kiddos have flourished with them. Mrs. Lisa (the director) has been so understanding and supportive of this new change in our lives and is just as involved and caring as all the other teachers!

I would highly recommend this school to anyone and everyone all day everyday!

We found Excel Academy when we first moved here. My preschooler never really looked forward to going to school before; now with Miss Maki, she can't wait every morning! My other daughter just turned 4 and started with Miss Torri a month ago and has already learned most of the alphabet, how to write her name, and beginning to read in class! I was shocked at how much my girls are learning in such a short time here. The staff is wonderful and the director Miss Lisa and Assistant Director Miss Nina are the friendliest people I've ever met. Highly Recommended!

Our son loves the Pre K class. He has been learning so much in the short time he was there (due to our move to North Texas and Covid at the same time). The staff is very nice and welcoming. I love all the updates and photos we get throughout the day. My son had started to be a shy kid from being home all the time; that is gone now that he is here. We are so lucky to have found this class for him.

Every morning, I ask my children, "Are you ready to go to school?" At Excel Academy, do not babysit, they educate and nurture children based on the child's level and they have truly partnered with us on raising our children. We are grateful!

Excel Academy is wonderful! Our two little ones are loved and cared for, and the staff is warm and accommodating to our specific needs. Our kids love going there!

Everyone is so warm. The teachers are so sweet and our kids are learning so much!

This is the best academy for children,The staff here is caring and committed to the Kid's development. I would recommend.

My 2 year old is having a great time...we are happy with the staff and the way they communicate on daily basis...will surly refer to my friends and family
