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 :)

I know how much Ms. Laura and the teachers love my daughter, and my daughter loves them, too. They go above and beyond to make CHMS a special place to learn and have fun. I'm so grateful that I found CHMS, because my daughter absolutely thrived there and was more than prepared for entry into kinder. I love our CHMS family!

Our now 4 year old has been at Esperanza since she was 2 years old. She went to another much…read moresmaller, daycare previously which we loved but since we moved we had to find another daycare. We came to Esperanza upon recommendation from a family friend with a child and we are SO GRATEFUL for that recommendation. Our child is currently in the 3-4s class called the Angelfish which is led by Ms Lisa and Ms Ruby. Prior to entering angelfish, our child was VERY clingy, very quiet around her peers, and ALWAYS had to have her stuffie. Sure it was cute, but when you literally cannot go one single place without a stuffed animal and God forbid you lose the stuffie I felt like my little kiddo was hanging onto being a baby for as long as possible. There were noticeable positive changes once she entered angelfish classroom, the teachers were kind and encouraging but they stuck to certain boundaries which I REALLY appreciate because I know children need structure, clear rules, and a safe and nurturing environment to thrive but sometimes it's hard doing that for the few hours of time you have with your child at home. Although our child was very very nervous to make the transfer to her new class, we noticed within a month or two, she loved her stuffie but no longer needed it everywhere she went. She regularly started using new positive/kind language (which she got from her teachers :) ), she became much more social with kids at the parks, she would sit and eat her ENTIRE meal before getting up to play. The list goes on. These may sound like small things or things that might naturally have occured at her age, but we know these things in particular were highly motivated and clearly demonstrated at her daycare on a consistent basis. Outside of our childs behavior, my husband and I have been so impressed with the thorough communication from the teachers and the school. Esperanza and their teachers are highly communicative and do so in respectful manners. We also really like the teachers in general. Ms Lisa, Ms Ruby, Ms Franny, and Ms Tina, Ms Lydia and Ms Valerie have all been great to get to know over the last 1-2 years. I'm also so surprised that even though the school is quite large, MOST teachers we walk past know our child's name and always greet her (teachers I've never seen or met. I ask my child who they are and if they're nice and she's always replied that they are super nice to her ) I'm so glad that we chose Esperanza where there are like.. literally 6-8 playgrounds for kids to play, high parent and teacher engagement, and a safe space for our little one to grow into a big girl We are especially grateful to Ms Lisa and Ms Ruby as this is our last few months at Esperanza before we move states, they've been such great leaders for our classroom and I know all the angelfish parents feel this way as we get together quite frequently and I've only ever heard positive remarks about our teachers

What can I say, these lovely teachers have always been a great part of making our lives a lot easier. They go above and beyond for children in there care. They make sure the children are learning and are engaged at all times. I love the interaction Ms.Cody, Ms.Jenny, and Ms.Annie have with my child. Each time my son is coming into class he always has a smile on his face. My son is always happy to come to school because of these three ladies. I appreciate them so much for making this experience with my son attending Mariner a great experience for me and my family. My other son who is currently 5 months old also attends Mariner and it was a hard transition for me. But Ms.Evelyn, Ms.Joy, Ms.Virgina, and Ms.Blanca have definitely made it a lot easier for me and my family to feel relieved that he is in the best of hands. My son is always happy when he attends school. He is always smiling and baby talking all the time he sees his teachers. I appreciate these ladies so much. They are very sweet and are always supportive. I would definitely recommend Mariner because the staff there is amazing. Ms.Nataly and Ms.Daniella have definitely made a difference in the school and they are always so supportive with my family.

We have had the pleasure of being in 3 different classes, each with caring and attentive teachers. Our initial transition was difficult because she would not take a bottle at first. In Infant 1 class, Ms. Eudora was patient, creative and persistent until our daughter was a bottle drinking champ. In Infant 2, Ms. Cody and the team provided so many exciting activities and were so excited to share updates as our daughter's language, social, fine motor and gross motor skills progressed. In the Infant 3 class, we have seen her vocabulary and motor skills grow even more. Ms. Yaleni, Ms. Ana and Ms. Evelyn make sure all her needs are met and she is academically stimulated. We have always felt our daughter is safe and cared for as an individual and as a growing learner while at Mariner. The building is new and is kept clean and decorated for various seasons and holidays. The play area is expanding thanks to the school's acquisition of an adjacent lot. Parents are kept updated through a weekly email newsletter and daily through the ProCare app. Teachers update the app for naps, diaper changes and meals as well as posting pictures of activities once or twice a day. Parents can chat directly with teachers through the app as well. The school provides healthy, age appropriate meals included in the price of tuition.

This is a great preschool program at an affordable tuition.

The entire staff was welcoming and made an effort to know our names making it such a wonderful experience for our entire family.

I toured a lot of daycares around Houston and this was the only one that had a family-like and welcoming environment coupled with teachers with long tenures (most places was only 3-6 months) who seemed to actually be invested in each child and their wellbeing. Truly was a really great experience and cannot recommend it enough!

Ms. Lois is truly amazing and I finally felt truly comfortable that my daughter was safe and in a nurturing environment compared to previous centers.

She enjoyed her one month so much there so I enrolled her in summer camps right after and she completed one full yr Fall '23 to Spring '24 until it was time for elementary school. She made so many friends and still keeps in touch with some even after entering a different school. She gained so much confidence and a great educational foundation that I believe helped her easily transition to kindergarten. I truly recommend this preschool!

It is great for kids, great for moms, and my husband loves how much the kids are flourishing there. I researched many Parent's day out programs in Houston, before deciding on First Friends and I am SO glad I did! My kids are so happy and thriving in this program. The teachers are nice, experienced, patient, and passionate about the kids. I love that I get a daily report on how their day was and the teachers are very communicative. The director is always at the door to greet parents at drop off and pick up and she is very involved. I am just so happy with this program. It is safe, clean, and my kids so happy every time they go, even more they are learning and gaining great social skills. They do so many activities that help with fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and they do so many crafts I'm amazed! From comments I have heard from other Mom friends it's seems that other MDO programs are more concerned with tuition than the kids and parents, that is not the case at First Friends. If you are looking for a MDO program check out First Friends you won't be disappointed! Your kids will love it and you will have peace of mind that they are safe and happy. All the other First Friends moms rave about the program and I have not heard anyone have any complaints! Most parents have had multiple kids go through the program. It is established and has a great reputation. I am so happy we found this school!

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.

It was amazing to see him be social especially since he's a COVID baby. The ratio was small, his teachers and staff great. A few months passed and the school started to reach maximum ratio in his class (higher ratio here in general compared to other facilities nearby) and that's when things started going downhill. My son started to not want to go to school. For weeks it would be a battle and he would cry seeing the school. I didn't understand but then we started getting daily phone calls with reports of incidents--he was being bitten, hit and scratched by others for 2 weeks straight. Sometimes he would come home with bruises with no reports and we'd have to call to find out what happened. We had many, many meetings and calls with staff to rectify the situation as we loved the school but in the end, they took little responsibility and minimal changes while my son still bears a scar on his face from one of the incidents. There's so much more I could write but I think the above is the most important. They just expected me to shrug things off, even sent a mass letter stating that biting is normal. Not sure what that helps when my son was getting hurt daily. Also, he never hit or retaliated--I asked the teachers. So it wasn't him.

Highly recommended and impressed! The staff and teacher is very responsive and caring.

I love that there's a curriculum and have learning activities, not your typical daycare where they watch the child. I can see my baby advancing much quicker. The staff is very efficient when we comes to pick up/dropping off the kid since we cannot enter the building due to COVID. The staff remembers all the parents faces and can identify quickly who we are picking up. I do wish the facility has a camera so I can creep on what my baby is doing, but I definitely understand that it's a liability issue as well.
