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. Of course it's a big…read moreexpense, but mostly you're concerned if your child will be loved and cared for when you're not around. I can say for certain this has never been an issue at MKU. 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!

Our daughter didn't come here for long and since they're now closed, I'm a little heart broken. The ladies we're all wonderful and clearly cared about the children. Evangeline, the manager, doted on our daughter and that kind of love keeps you coming back. Our precious daycare lied about changing our daughter's diaper consistently, the amount of food she was eating, etc. So you can imagine how relieved I was when I was told our daughter wasn't eating as much as I had been told before (but suspected was a lie). Not only that we heard what she was doing during the day and it was clear that she was enjoying herself. I appreciated the stories and seeing how happy she was each day. Sadly, the pandemic has really hit businesses and Little Explorers has to close their door. If they ever open again though, this is a staff I would trust with your little one.

Instead they let him cry the whole time he was there, and out of two weeks of going they only picked him up once.

There's no cameras outside and I had enough of this place when I surprise picked him up and he was sitting outside in the heat next to the door scream crying and no one was paying him any attention. They said he had been crying the whole time. I literally can't believe it. Pick him up! Nurture him! Help him feel safe! Instead they took away his stuffed animal puppy and just let him cry.

Castle Hills is a part of our DNA. The superintendent is a man with more enthusiasm, dedication, compassion and commitment to student and family success than anyone I've ever known. Teachers are dedicated. The curriculum is challenging and the family-like environment fosters life-long friends and memories. I should know, I graduated from Castle Hills in 1992 and still have the same best friends from those days. If you want your child to know they are loved by Jesus and are more than just a face in the crowd, try The Christian School at Castle Hills.

As a 52 year old man, I have recently discovered that their assistant principle is Trudy Elmer. She…read moreis a child abuser and has no business work with or around children. If you are considering this school, be warned that it is run by a woman who has committed long term violent child abuse on many children, myself included when I was under her watch. I will give context below. I was enrolled at Believers academy in the 1980s at which Trudy was the 7th-12th grade english teacher. During my 3 years at that school, Trudy committed acts of violence on me and others so many times that I can not honestly give an accurate number, but I would say its a safe bet that she beat me personally (or by proxy having another teacher do it because she felt like it didnt hurt me enough for her tastes) at least 50-100 times over the course of my enrollment in that school. Let me start by saying I am Christian, and I do believe there is a place for corporal punishment in child raising. But this schools entire staff used wooden paddles (which Trudy and one of her proxies literally broke over me at least twice) and used extreme force and phisical violence for any infraction no matter how small. To give a few examples, the very first time she bent me over and beat me was because at lunch time I was talking to the children seated next to me before I had completed eating my entire lunch. I remember it vividly. I didnt want to eat some part of it and was done as far as I was concerned, but Trudy did not care for that for whatever reason, and she took me in a small back room which was literally too small to hold classes in, and was the dedicated spanking room in that building. and she teed off on me like no one had ever done before. I remember looking back at her while she was doing it and seeing her wind up like a baseball pithcher and swinging for the fences. Other reasons She would beat me included forgetting to turn in a daily assignment, or for talking in class, not having some piece of school supplies (pencils notebook, or forgetting a book at home) Any comment that she didnt approve of was met with violence, and this woman clearly delighted in these beatings. At one point she broke her paddle on me, and made me wait in that room while she went and found another one. I was hyperactive and at that age I wasnt able to follow the structure of the school as well as others, so after she realized her beatings didnt fix me, she made the assumption that she just wasnt hitting me hard enough, so she recruited a male staff member to beat me for her while she watched from that point on. there was at least one other time that person brok e a paddle on me while acting as her proxy as well. Trudy was constantly on watch for any slip up of any kind, and during my 8th grade year I recall a chunk of time where she or some man at her direction hit me every single day for several weeks. I was Traumatized by that school in general, but primarily by her beating so much so that I am still suffering with significant trauma related issues over it. That school (believers academy) was very heavy handed with child beating, but Trudy was by far the worst offender. After suffering at her hands for several years, I finally was able to convince my parents to send me to another school, but the scars from being so horribly abused by this woman have never fully healed. Using the name of God to abuse 12 and 13 year old children is the absolute height of despicable behavior, both for the children she abused, AND for the reputation of any school that would allow such a person to continue to work with children. I know there are others who suffered the same or similar abuse from her, but to be fair an honest I dont know if Castle Hills School is aware of her behavior. After nearly 40 years of holding this pain and anger at being so taken advantage of and abused by this woman, I decided to call her out for it about a year ago via messaging her on facebook. she immediately blocked me wihtout so much as a response, so I do not believe that the time since has changed her enough to repent for her cruel and malicious behavior. PLEASE do not send your children to this school unless Trudy Elmer is removed from this place of access and authority over your kids. I am a parent now, and the thought of my son suffering the way I did makes my blood boil. I have held onto my faith in God and my belief in the Bible inspite of her vile behavior, but I can not in good concience allow this woman to continue to hold such a position without warning parents of her abuse. This is not anonymous, my name is Robert Johnson, and I will talk with any staff administration who want more details, but if you are an administrator at this school please look into her past. I am not the only one with stories like this. I believe Castle Hills may be a fine school, but until she is gone, your students are in danger.
