Elite Academy: Music Preschool - Lakeway

"We absolutely LOVE Jere and her team. Marisol is an amazing teacher, and our son has learned so much in his time here. The school is so clean, organized, and really cares about the well being of the kids. My son has not been sick one time since going here, which has not happened at previous schools. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Amazing team that really feels like an extension of our village raising our kids."

"Our son started attending the 3 years old class four months ago, and since then we have seen nothing but happiness and the love of the school in him. His social confidence has grown significantly due to the school’s attention to each kid individually. The low student to teacher ratio allows the teachers to dedicate time to each individual kid, which helps flourishing the kids’ abilities. The school’s focus on music makes the environment joyful for the kids. The kids regularly dance and sing in the class, and have at least one private violin lesson each week. This is not my son’s first school to attend, but the experience is totally different from his previous school. The principal, Ms. Jere, has done a wonderful job finding skilled and caring teachers for Elite; teachers who care about the mental and behavioral wellbeing of the kids. Words, empathy, and emotional expressions have a big role in making connection with a toddler; and my son’s teacher masters these skills. This has caused my son to love attending this school, which was not our experience with the previous school."

"We LOVE Elite! I’m a former teacher and a current stay-at-home mom of two toddlers. We have been searching for the perfect place, and we finally found it at Elite! The director, Jere, is incredibly passionate about education and has created an amazing space for children to learn and grow. I love the emphasis on music and so do my kids! The rooms are huge and clean giving my kids plenty of space to roam and explore. The low teacher to student ratios ensures my kids are always getting the attention/help they need. Every time we get in the car, my son excitedly asks me if he’s going to preschool. He absolutely loves it. If my daughter could talk, I’m sure she’d say the same thing. Whenever I am there to pick up or drop off, the vibe is always calm…which after raising my toddlers and working in schools for the past decade is literally an impossible feat to accomplish! The first day I dropped off my daughter (who is on the needier side) Jere sat with me and coached me through my first drop off. My daughter cried for under a minute and then was so happy to be there. The staff does a great job of communicating throughout the day and keeping me up to date on all the activities my kids are doing. I can’t say enough positives about this preschool! They have private music classes, specialized camps, and mommy and me music classes. Highly recommend!"

"My three year old son has attended the last three months, he was one of the first children to enroll. My son makes it very obvious when he likes or does not like a school and he has been very happy and comfortable here. Which that in itself tells me a lot. When he likes a school it’s usually because his teachers are loving and engaging. I really like the flexibility here. I feel as though I can drop him off and pick him up at times that work for my schedule without feeling shamed about a late drop off. I really appreciate that outdoor play is a main focus here, I feel like young children really need lots of physical activity and outdoor time to explore and be creative with friends. Communication from staff is very good and consistent. I appreciate that they are closed very few days out of the year. Also, they will soon accept CCS funding which means they will be the only school in the area to accept this funding which is huge! Overall, we are very happy here and I hope to see more enrollment soon!"

"We have had an absolutely incredible experience! We were one of the first families to join the school and were very anxious at first since the school was brand new. We quickly realized there was no reason for concern and it was one of our best decisions. Our children have thrived and love going to school. Jere takes so much pride in her school and making sure the children are safe, thrive, and enjoy their experience. I’m sure the school will fill up once the word gets out about this school and how loving and great it is!"
