Anyone have experience or opinions about the daycare at Hyde Park Baptist Church? They seem to run a very big operation. I was dismayed to read about a court case in which they were found guilty of having a teacher who mistreated at least one child (the article suggests this was a pattern for this teacher): [url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A473700]The Austin Chronicle: News: Teacher Found Guilty of Injuring Child[/url]

The teacher in question is gone although the management which allowed this teacher to be on staff for a long time is apparently still in place. I suppose that the large number of parents who still have their children enrolled must see positives in the center.

I am curious to what extent the center embodies a very strict approach to childcare. I am more sympathetic to what I percieve as the more nurturant approach of a Montessori school. Any general recommendations for a preschool/daycare near SE Austin with a current opening for a 3 year old?

Open Door is a great program! They have a center at 38th and Cherrywood (central east Austin, basically in French Place) and one downtown. Don't know if there are any openings for three year olds.
