My youngest has had Ms. Gabby and Ms. Destinee - both wonderful teachers who genuinely love children. You can see the warmth radiate out of them. Their high energy paired with their patience and ability to teach young kids amaze me daily. My oldest recently came out of Ms. Peace (who is incredible!!) and is now in Ms. Lavanya's class, the care that both teachers provide my son have been immeasurable. Not only do they provide a safe space for all the kids, they take the time out to learn about each student. All while providing follows up to how my son is doing and informing me of his advancements. I know my kids are in good hands at MRA. Their curriculum is beyond what I could have imagined. They truly follow the Montessori and STEAM way.

The director is amazing--so warm, thoughtful, and on top of things. She really sets the tone for the whole school. The teachers are patient, nurturing, and truly take the time to understand each child's needs and personality. Another huge plus: they provide healthy meals that actually encourage kids to try new things. Our little one went from being super picky to being open to all kinds of new foods, thanks to what they serve at school. It's been such a supportive environment for both our kids, and we really feel like they've grown emotionally, socially, and academically because of their time here. Highly recommend to any family considering Montessori!

Not only has she shown significant improvement in her academic skills, but she has also blossomed in her personal development. One notable achievement is her newfound independence, particularly evident in her ability to eat on her own. This may seem like a small feat to some, but for us, it signifies a major milestone in her growth. Ms. Kajal has played a pivotal role in nurturing her confidence and fostering independence. I commend Ms.Kajal for her dedication, patience, and unwavering support in helping my daughter thrive both academically and personally!A special shoutout to the front office team -- Ms. Lavanya, Mr. Shay, and Ms. Pooja.

She played a significant role in helping my very active child grow and develop patience. Her understanding and encouragement made a big difference, and I'm truly grateful my child was part of her class. If this school had an elementary program, I would've happily continued with them. Special thanks to her colleagues Ms Nighat and Ms. Farishta This is one of the best schools in Richmond, Texas (77407). Before joining here, my son attended another school where he would fall sick almost every day. But ever since he joined this school, he's stayed healthy - their cleanliness and hygiene are exceptionally well maintained. The front desk staff, Ms. Puja and Ms. Lavanya, are also very friendly and supportive. They're always welcoming and ready to help, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere of the school. Highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a nurturing and well-managed environment for their little one!

I received a notice from Yelp last week saying that other clients found my reviews helpful & asking…read moreme to review other businesses in my area. So i started looking at other businesses in my area that I had experience with. I usually only post reviews if the service was stellar or horrible. I saw that Sugar Creek Montessori had a really bad score. So I'm thinking, "yep! They're still horrible!" I took my daughter to that location when she was 4 years old. She's in college now so it was a very long time ago. I decided to share my very low opinion of this location. My previous review endorsed the 1-2 star rating they currently have. When I took my Daughter to this location we had a horrible experience & we were charged over $150 for 15 minutes of their time. I told the administrators that we would not be attending classes there within 10 minutes of arrival. In my opinion the school was unorganized, dirty, & they were more interested in filling the roster than helping understand what would benefit our family & my daughter's education. I posted that they kept my supply fee (which they absolutely did) for classes that we did not attend. Our experience was a one star or negative star experience. A few days after my post I was contacted by their admin office so that they could research my financial claim & refund our money. I was a little miffed at first because now that we have wonderful platforms to share our experiences (good & bad) NOW they will refund my money that never should've been kept in the first place? Very convenient. After several messages back & forth we are at an impasse & it's clear this is not the same owner that kept our money & supply fee for services not rendered & for classes my daughter did not attend. I now have the financial support provided by current SC Montessori management to go back to our bank & investígate if the records they have are correct or if they were falsified. So my review is this: This location has had and still has a very rough road ahead of them trying to correct the previous owner neglect & bad business practices. I believe in second chances. If my daughter still needed a preschool or if I had a very intelligent 4 year old, I would definitely try this Montessory location again. We originally tried this location because my daughter was very advanced & was ready for Kindergarten. Unfortunately with the public school rule about September birthdays it makes it very difficult to place your children in an environment that they can continue to learn, be challenged, & eventually skip a grade so they can re-join their friends in your zoned elementary school at a later date. I attended Montessori when I was younger & loved it. I have many fond memories of time there. I suggested the new owners place a sign at their location saying, "under new management" or reach out to local Mom's Clubs because it is very hard to overcome the type of damage the previous owners created. I suggest trying this location especially if you're interested in eventually having your child skip a grade. When I complete the research with our bank and confirm the previous owners did not keep over $200 of our money for services not received I will update this review & hopefully be able to sing the praises of the current owners trying to correct past indiscretions. If nothing else they did spend a lot of time going through our history to try & find the errors. I wish there was a 2 1/2 star because right now we're still on the fence with this business.

My 2.5-year old son loves his new school! We just moved to sugar land (Riverstone) and had the…read moredaunting task of having to choose a preschool (daunting because sugar land has so many great options). Despite it being new and unproven, we ultimately went with kiddie academy for a few reasons. First and foremost, the director Sarah is amazing. She has a strong vision for the school and is a perfectionist. So even though this is a franchise of a chain, I really felt like Sarah was going to put her stamp on it - everything from quality teacher recruitment and training to the school's chef/healthy menu to the curriculum adaptations. She has many years of early childhood education experience, great connections, and is ambitious. The leader of a school is paramount (and I found some questionable and disorganized leadership at the other schools I researched and visited). Sarah is sharp, responsive and easy to communicate with. The staff and students love her. The other big reason we went with this school (and believe me we researched about a dozen, from Montessori to Reggio Emilia) is because the facilities are fantastic. Big, beautiful, naturally sunlit classrooms with just enough brand new toys and supplies and books (without feeling cluttered or overwhelming). The outdoor play area is awesome, and they have future plans for a splash pad and soccer field. There's also enough room indoors for physical play when it's too hot or rainy to go outside. And the security system is top notch. I love the flexibility that this school gives parents - they offer infant education through pre-K (so our soon to be born daughter can join her big bro at the same school). Their extended hours are the default (6:30-6:30) though you can opt for fewer than 5 days/week if you prefer. They take very few holidays - which is key for working parents. And they use the latest technology (apps and live streaming TV) to keep parents in the know all day/week long. I love being able to see how my son is behaving, adjusting, eating, napping, playing, etc. The only big question mark I had was about really small classrooms (since the school is still new, opened early 2018) and an undeveloped community of parents, teachers, etc. I think that still remains to be seen, but my very social son has been very happy in his first week there. And I've loved my conversations with the teachers. They are warm, helpful and supportive. When I picked my son up yesterday he didn't want to leave. Excited to help this school develop and establish a strong presence in the sugar land area. Message me if you want to know more.

I enrolled my daughter at this Montessori school and removed her approximately 3.5 hours into her…read morevery first day because I was extremely concerned by what I personally observed. While watching the classroom cameras, I observed teachers spending extended periods engaged in conversation with each other instead of actively engaging with and supervising the children. I observed staff members on their phones, a teacher leave the classroom while children remained inside, and a teacher sitting at the desk while there appeared to be very little engagement or instruction taking place. Most concerning to me was watching an older child repeatedly swing at a smaller child while I did not see appropriate intervention from staff. When I arrived to pick up my daughter, I also personally witnessed teachers sitting on the same table where the children were eating their lunch. I saved the video footage documenting what I observed and sent the videos directly to the director. Despite providing that documentation, I have not received any meaningful follow-up regarding the safety and supervision concerns I raised, nor have I received a resolution regarding the full refund I requested. When I requested my refund, I was referred to the school's policy requiring 30 days' notice in order to receive the deposit back and requiring the child to remain enrolled during that notice period. I understand having a 30-day policy for a normal withdrawal, but this was not a normal withdrawal or simply a change of mind. I removed my daughter approximately 3.5 hours into her first day because of what I personally observed. There is absolutely no way I would leave my child in an environment I no longer felt comfortable with for another 30 minutes simply to satisfy a policy, much less another 30 days. What is particularly concerning to me is that the school's own policies also state that staff members are not supposed to be on their phones, yet I have video footage of staff using their phones during the time my daughter was there. I find it difficult to understand how the 30-day policy can be strictly enforced against a parent while the concerns I documented regarding staff conduct and supervision have not been addressed. I believe the circumstances surrounding my daughter's immediate withdrawal should be taken into consideration when determining whether the standard 30-day withdrawal policy applies. My daughter's safety comes before a deposit or tuition payment. I am sharing this experience because other parents deserve to know what I personally observed and how my concerns were handled so they can make their own informed decision about where they leave their children.
