Heroic Hearts Academy is a newly opened Texas childcare center at 159 Settlement Dr in Bastrop, serving infants through school-age children with a full spectrum of programming including after-school care. Founded by a family of EMTs, paramedics, and law enforcement professionals, the facility brings a distinctive trust factor rooted in emergency-services expertise and safety mindedness. With 288 capacity and a clean Health & Human Services compliance record, it operates modern facilities designed to support diverse family needs. However, the center does not accept child care subsidies, and families accustomed to more intimate settings should visit in person to assess whether the larger campus fits their preferences.
