  • Honestly, I have mixed feelings about West Austin Development Center. On one hand, you can tell the staff really cares about the kids and they've been around the neighborhood forever, but the facility itself feels a bit dated. Since it's an older building in Austin, I’m always a little worried about the ventilation and how deep the 'deep cleaning' actually goes, especially during flu season when it feels like every kid has a runny nose. Communication about bugs going around is okay, but could definitely be faster. It’s a decent neighborhood spot and they’ve gotten some grants for improvements recently, so I'm hoping to see some updates to the classrooms and play areas soon to make it feel a bit fresher and healthier.
