They offer a ton of extracurricular activities (extra fee) that help keep my child engaged. He eats all his lunches there and actually likes the food which saves me time because I'm not packing his lunch. They help me with potty training him. They move the kids around so they aren't bored. They have parties and parents can attend. Almost all the staff know my son by name even if they're not his teacher. Just overall an amazing school.

We lucked out and couldn't be happier. Everything is so clean. It is one of the cleanest daycares I have seen so far. The first thing I noticed during the tour was how cute and unique the place is. I felt like I was in a world made for kids. Cute interior designs. I don't like driving around downtown due to traffic and congestion but they do their best to keep traffic flowing during pick-up and drop off. Snacks are always provided during drop-off which is a plus since I'm always hungry at the end of a work day. Most importantly, the teachers are kind and loving. We absolutely love Ms. Mireya! She is a fantastic infant teacher, my son always looks happy! It's very obvious how much she loves the babies there. We trust her and feel confident he's in great hands.

Our son joined CHMS in 2024 at the age of 3, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Don't…read morejudge this daycare by its location! Once you step inside, you'll see the environment is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly designed with children in mind. One of its advantages is that children aren't confined to the same classroom all day. They have access to different spaces where they can explore, play, and learn, and they also spend time with children of different ages, which helps them develop socially. The teachers are exceptional (shout out to Miss Olga, Miss B, Mis Cha Cha, Miss Renee, Mis Naiely...). Every day they come up with thoughtful, creative activities that make learning fun and keep the children engaged. You can tell how much time, dedication, and love goes into everything they do. Our son started here without speaking a single word of English. Thanks to the patience, kindness, and encouragement of his teachers, he not only learned the language but also felt safe, happy, and at home from day one. He was genuinely excited to go to school every morning, and as parents, that's the greatest recommendation we can give. Now he is really sad to go. Thank you Miss Laura for everything you've done for our kid! Now its time to go to big kids school :)

We had two children at CHMS, starting at ~18 months until about 4 years old. We were admittedly…read morehesitant to send our kids to daycare altogether, but could not have been happier with the care our kids received at this school. The staff is communicative, caring, and fun. They strike a great balance between fun and learning, and our kids always came home having learned a new fact or life skill along with a story about a fun game or dance they did. We have been so surprised at how independent and outgoing our kids have become since starting at CHMS. We had to relocate from Houston, and of all the things we'll miss, CHMS tops the list. The folks there are so dependable and truly felt like family. It was truly a privilege to send our kids there, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

There are no classroom cameras for parents, which we actually like. I know id be checking on her constantly throughout the day, so I appreciate that aspect. They also do not post pictures of our baby online, which I LOVE. She is too small for social media. We will happily continue to send our little one here.

Handing them off to someone else felt overwhelming, but Poe made that transition feel less like a leap and more like joining a big, supportive family. Being welcomed into the classroom and getting to be an active participant in my child's learning has been such a gift. Parent helper days are a highlight of our month. It's such a joy to get to know all of the children and see how my child interacts with their friends and teachers in a new setting. The teachers are warm, nurturing, and deeply engaged. This was my son's first time outside of our home and they were excellent at gently guiding him through a new environment. They somehow manage to balance calm structure with joyful chaos, and they treat each child like a whole person. The play-based curriculum encourages creativity, exploration, and a lot of wonderfully messy learning, which we absolutely love. We also love the emphasis on outdoor time. The kids are outside climbing, running, digging, and trying to smuggle home their new pet bugs. It has been amazing for their energy, imagination, and general happiness, although our car has become a bit of a mobile nature preserve. The classroom garden has given my son a love of a fresh picked green bean, although I am not sure he left any to be harvested! The sense of community at Poe is something truly special. Families genuinely get to know each other, and there is a shared feeling of we are in this together. We have loved all of the opportunities for us to engage either through family gatherings at the school, or the welcoming invitations to weekend meet ups and park play dates. We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a thoughtful, fun, and caring environment.

The teachers are incredible, dedicated imaginative educators who pride themselves on making learning fun for their students and tailoring the curriculum to their students specific learning and developmental needs. The small class size really allows for the time and attention needed to help the kids be able to learn together while allowing for customized teaching moments to make sure they have the skills and knowledge they'll need to step into elementary school. My daughter has grown socially and learned so much this year, I can't say enough good things about this preschool. They bake from scratch, garden, splash in the rain, ride trikes, play in the mud kitchen, build crazy block structures and play in the pretend zone daily. This school is a dream.

I recently made one of your employees (Maci) aware of a personal situation involving emotional and…read morephysical abuse that I experienced from someone she considers a friend. While I understand and respect that personal relationships can influence perspectives, I was surprised and concerned by her response, which indicated that she aligned with her friend's actions. My concern is not that she chose not to become involved in a personal matter, but rather the lack of empathy and support shown in response to a report of abuse. As someone who holds a leadership position within a school environment, I would have expected a more compassionate response, or at the very least guidance toward appropriate resources and support services. Her response left me questioning whether the values reflected in that interaction are consistent with those promoted by the school. It is troubling to think that an individual entrusted with the well-being and development of students might respond similarly to a child, parent, or other individual reporting a concerning situation. I fully understand that she may have wished to remain neutral or avoid involvement due to her personal connection. However, expressing support for or alignment with actions involving emotional or physical abuse raises serious concerns regarding judgment, empathy, and professional conduct. I felt it was important to bring this matter to your attention, as the interaction has left me deeply concerned about the values and standards that are expected of those representing your institution.

We truly appreciate the way they interact with her and make her feel comfortable, safe, and happy at school. It is clear that these teachers genuinely care about the children, and we are very grateful for everything they have done for Linh. We highly recommend the Mariner Montessori Galleria campus, especially Ms. Renee, Ms. Mary, Ms. Ashae, and Ms. Mallory.

As much as I wanted to like this school because of the initial tour (which is gonna be the only…read moretimes that you might ever see a director or the owners) and the proximity to us, the experience for us was disappointing on many levels. We left three years ago after several months of enrollment, yet I STILL have negative feelings about our time there and unfortunately, I continue to hear from others about some of the same issues. I was initially very enthusiastic about Mariner and even recommended it to two friends, both of whom stayed And were quite happy. In my case unfortunately, things did not work out and turned unpleasant quickly. In my son's class, one wonderful teacher left, followed shortly by the other. Within a short period of time, the class went from a teacher-to-child ratio of approximately 1:8 to 1:22 children. The replacement teachers who showed up over night were very young, no native English speakers and without credentials or experience I would expect from teachers responsible for so many young children. More concerning to me were the safety issues. On two occasions, my son came home with unexplained bruises. The second incident ultimately led me to withdraw. I received him back with a huge bruise, and no one at the school could explain how it happened! Two days later was then told that he 'had a habit of rubbing his head against the carpet'--something he had never seen before and I have never seen since. During my meeting with the director, it became obvious that someone was not watching my son and he got injured, but they were not clear about how it happened. Do not send your child here! We immediately withdrew and while Ms Jenny and Ms Pat handled the situation courteously and refunded tuition and deposit without delays, the experience left me deeply concerned. During the time my son was enrolled, there was also an extraordinary amount of staff turnover. Several teachers who had left stayed in touch with us and told us they had left because of poor working conditions and low pay ($13/hr). There was also a woman at the front door (Ms Jessica 2021-2023) who was consistently rude and made morning drop-off unpleasant for families. She was eventually replaced only after she moved to New York. Another thing that always bothered me was the overwhelming smell of cleaning chemicals. I understand and appreciate the importance of cleanliness, but my son would often come home smelling strongly of Fabuloso. It was so strong that I found myself wondering whether the school was relying too heavily on chemicals rather than using more thorough cleaning methods such as deep or steam cleaning. I genuinely dreaded that smell when I picked him up. To make a long story short, there are better options out there. After leaving Mariner Montessori, we enrolled our son at Children's Village in West University, and our experience there was absolutely wonderful year after year. Mariner Montessori was a very difficult experience for us, and unfortunately, even years later, I still have not forgotten it. I heard a similar concerns from another parent, and finally decided it was important to share my experience as well. I hope this helps other families make an informed decision. Each school has their pros and cons.

There have…read morebeen some issues here and there, but never safety concerns and at the end of the day, both my children have flourished attending here. They've updated the campus quite a bit the last decade and use tech/apps these days to communicate with parents. While the management changes every once in a while, the same core group of teachers are still around and extremely caring. It's a little pricey, but both my kiddos have had a huge head start compared to friends kids that go elsewhere. Would definitely recommend if you need a daycare/montessori school and live anywhere downtown/midtown.

She was a very large woman with a bun. This was the last straw.

She was too lazy to to lean over and support him. He also acquired a huge gash on his nose while at snack time under the same supervision by this caregiver , who claimed it was an accident but I did not witness it. I wrote long emails to all management and we visited the teacher and discussed our concerns each time. Nothing was done at all and we un-enrolled. They make it so very hard to drop in and observe any classroom time for a reason. Do not send your babes to their infant school ! My son still has a scar.

There are so many ways to get yourself secured in the word of God. There are many things to help you not only in your spiritual journey but also the realities of life. I have taken theology in school for many years and this church just helps to increase my understanding. That's what people of faith should strive for...not to know all that is divine but to have knowledge of what is true about God and what is corruption of the Word. Know Him for yourself not what someone else has told you to be the truth. This church offers that guidance to get you there.
