As a parent at HCMS I can confidently say that they have earned these five stars. To be fair my…read moretwo kids have never attended any other school, but to be doubly fair there has been no reason for them to. I've had one kiddo on the campus from age 4 until now (age 10), and my littlest one started this last spring (age 4). HCMS has a very strong familial environment that I honestly don't think I could find elsewhere. I know that they are happy and safe and learning in an environment that teaches more than just standard curriculum, but also an entire method of learning that never ceases to astound me. There are so many positive attributes I could list, but it's even easier to just go take a tour of the campus. Plus there is no description of the atmosphere that I could ever come up with to do the school justice. But If I had to pick just one thing about HCMS to relate to other parents who are looking for the right fit for their kids, it is that you are always welcome on campus. Seriously, like always. That was a big deal for an overbearing mother who wasn't ready to let go :) Instead of crying in the parking lot I was welcomed to cry on campus, in the office, in the classroom, heck I've shed a few tears in their goat habitat. You are welcome to observe the classes (all levels), and not only are you allowed to hang out but it's encouraged. Okay crap just one more thing that I want to mention is that the Montessori Method is really into having the students help each other, it's structured so that the older ones even give lessons to the younger ones. It's my impression that most of the parents of the school did not receive Montessori education themselves, but you would never know it. There is a great sense of comradery between the parents with each other as well as with the the eclectic group of teachers and staff. Many of the teachers and staff have students at the school as well. Shouldn't that be a pretty good indicator of a great place to drop your kids off every day? Now to business.....do I get a free appetizer if I 'check-in?'

This school is wonderful. It is the only certified Montessori School in South Central Texas. My…read morechild has been going here since they were 18 months old and will be graduating 8th grade soon. The teachers are all amazing. Each classroom has a certified Montessori teacher to guide the children to find their love of learning and direct them through the curriculum at their own paces. The classrooms encourage collaboration between the students of different levels and the respect the teachers have for the children shows them how to treat each other. I am constantly impressed by all the students here.

The second incident my daughter came home with horrible diaper rash. When I took her to the urgent care they had told me it was the worst diaper rash they had ever seen. It can only be caused from the daycare not changing her all day. When I told the director she had told me they would move her classrooms and keep her from the teacher. The next day the director had me drop her off in the same classroom with the same teacher!! Ridiculous. I pulled her out immediately.
