One-on-one teaching and group lessons, small and large, are some of the many components of instruction. The curriculum is organized to move from the simple to the complex. Each lesson is built on the previous one, thus promoting a more comprehensive understanding of ideas, concepts, and values. Though the lessons are given one at a time, each subject area crosses the curriculum, incorporating a variety of skills and academic concepts.

Now, my daughter is 4 and we are back twice a week! Obviously she did not retain anything, but we definitely did not have to start in that baby class again. The classes are kept small, the teachers are interactive and fun, and their program is fast paced. You're paying for lessons, not fun time - so I was glad to see that they pay close attention to the kids' progress so they can keep advancing them through the program to avoid dull, repetitive lessons. I get reports by email that tell me what she has accomplished. They do a great job of rewarding progress. I hope to send my son (now 2) as soon as he is out of his temper tantrum stage!

I am writing this review almost a year after my child's disenrollment because I wanted time to…read moreprocess what happened and ensure I was sharing this experience thoughtfully. During that time, my family genuinely loved and appreciated the teachers and staff. We intentionally built positive relationships with staff and regularly showed our appreciation through small gifts. My 17-month-old child was disenrolled effective immediately following a disagreement between Ashlee and me regarding paperwork that I was told needed to be returned the following day. After 14 months of enrollment, I was informed that the center did not have paperwork on file, including documents containing my child's medical history, emergency procedures, and other important information. I expressed confusion and frustration because this was the first time we had ever been told anything was missing. I was then informed that if the paperwork was not returned the following day, my child would not be allowed to attend. As a parent, I found this concerning because the missing paperwork was not something we had knowingly withheld, nor had we previously been informed that it was missing. When I questioned the situation and expressed my concerns, Ashlee responded by saying, "Maybe we're not the right fit for you. I can go grab your kid's things and we can disenroll right now." My husband and I looked at each other in complete disbelief. I told her I felt that response was excessive and respectfully asked if I could wait to speak with Megan or Christina as they had historically been the individuals we were directed to when questions arose. Ashlee told me that the decision was final because she was also in charge. The conversation continued for approximately 30 minutes. I repeatedly tried to understand the rationale behind the decision. I even apologized if I had offended her by referencing Megan and Christina as the individuals in charge. I explained that my understanding came from prior interactions in which Ashlee herself had deferred questions to them when she was uncertain. I also sat down & began completing the paperwork. Despite my efforts to resolve the situation, I was repeatedly told the decision was final. During the conversation, Ashlee stepped away several times to make phone calls & also referenced a prior misunderstanding I had with Megan regarding medication, claiming that I had previously been "warned." This characterization was surprising to me because Megan had never approached me in a manner that suggested I was being reprimanded or warned. Every interaction I had with Megan was respectful, and understanding. The same was true of my interactions with Christina. It is also important to note that I was 8 months pregnant at the time, and this occurred around 6:00 PM on a Monday. Most daycare centers in the area were already closed for tours, yet I was suddenly being told my child no longer had childcare because I questioned a situation involving missing paperwork. What made the situation especially upsetting was that Ashlee stated she had been having a hard day. To this day, it is difficult not to feel that an uneqquiped lead had an emotional reaction and played a role in a permanent decision that significantly impacted my family. The following day, I spoke with Christina and confidently asked that they review the security footage because I knew I had never yelled at Ashlee, despite being told that was reported to management. While frantically touring new childcare centers and taking unexpected PTO that I had hoped to save for my upcoming maternity leave. Christina did call me back after watching the surveillance footage & she didn't see my yell at Ashlee either (no audio just visual clips) but understandably like any professional company, they had to go through with the decision. It would look very poorly on them to backtrack/ not support a teammate. At that point, I informed Christina that even if my child had been welcomed back, I would not have returned. The trust had been broken, both by the immediate disenrollment and by the allegation that I had yelled when I had not. Fortunately, all four childcare centers I toured with all the same perks as this center, accepted my child. Three were prepared to enroll us for the very next day. Several administrators I spoke with expressed concerns with how poorly the situation had been handled. Today, both of my children are thriving at their current daycare. However, I feel compelled to share this experience so that other parents can make informed decisions. My recommendation is that any communication, questions, or concerns be directed to Megan or Christina ONLY. Lastly, I was informed that I would receive a follow-up call from corporate customer service regarding the treatment my family experienced and the circumstances surrounding the disenrollment. Despite being told there would be further investigation, I never received that call. This whole experience was extremely traumatic.

As any parent that has put a child, especially an infant, into a school knows, it's hard handing that child over and it takes a lot of trust. Both of you provided just that in how you took care of him and constantly communicated with us. We could see how much you cared for him and the other babies. We also want to thank Ms. Miranda and Ms. Kat for the care they show to all the kiddos in their classroom's and for giving our son a great experience. Each day, he is excited to go to school (he literally runs to the door when we ask him if he's ready) and that is because of both of you and how he is treated in the classroom. And lastly, we want to thank Megan and Ms. Christina. It is very apparent to us how passionate you are about the kids that come into La Petite. You both show great care and love, and fiercely protect them. We never saw this kind of care from the precious school he came from, it was all business to them. And while this is a business, you both make it clear that the kids always come first. We can truly see the love and care that the entire facility gives each of the children, so thank you for everything!

I had the most amazing and joyful experience sending my kids to MKU at the University Heights location. However, when I learned they were closing, I began a frantic search for a new school that offered the same diligent and thoughtful Montessori curriculum my children had been experiencing. I also wanted a program with a rich Spanish language curriculum to support my trilingual children. I'm so thrilled to say that these past two months at MKU Shavano have felt like a self-fulfilling prophecy come true. My children love going to school and come home each day sharing their newfound love for literature and the arts. Their bond with their teachers runs deep - it warms my heart when they talk excitedly about what they learned while we eat dinner together. The front office staff is my daily dose of positivity each morning as I drop them off. Through my journey with MKU over the past year and three months, I can confidently say this place is a home away from home for my kids. If you are looking for an academically rich, safe, and loving environment for your child, look no further. I only wish I had enrolled my son and daughter sooner. I deeply appreciate Ms. Brigitte, Ms. Viví, Ms. Elvira, Ms. Alé, and Mr. Sandoval (the newest teacher there!). Within just one day, my son couldn't stop talking about the fun activities he did in Mr. Sandoval's classroom. Thank you, Ms. Chrissy, for accommodating my children into your school.

Making a decision on full time childcare can feel like a daunting task.

Both of my girls have been there for over two years, and not a single day has gone by that I was worried about their safety or general well-being. The staff is extremely attentive, and they know every student by name. Additionally, the Spanish immersion PLUS Montessori is a game changer; learning life skills and another language from such a young age has had a positive impact on their overall growth and development. We moved further away from this school and made the easy decision to keep them there even though the drive is longer. Selecting MKU where our girls have a safe, clean environment to thrive in has been one of the best choices we've made as parents!

This is the best Montessori experience in San Antonio. It is a great balance of cost and programming. I cannot say enough good things about this school. Mount Sacred Heart also offers traditional Pre-K instruction and, obviously, feeds into the associated Catholic school, grades 1-8. I don't know much about that part since the Montessori is separate. The children don't wear uniforms and those in Pre-K do not attend mass.The children do have some religious education, but I asked a lot of questions and am very comfortable with it. It has led to interesting conversation at my house as we're not at all religious. Since it is attached to a school, there is the option to participate in CYO (Catholic Youth Organization, I think?) activities. Essentially, it's after school sports. The community is great and the teachers/staff are kind and friendly. Don't waste time and money like I did. Just go take a tour of the school.
