I have had several people recommend Fellowship Christian Academy before I even started looking around. I started bringing my kids here when they were three years old. Their teacher was so great, so so great. Even after they moved on from her class they would give her a huge hug every time they saw her in the hall. Now they are in the 4-year-old class and meet three times a week, and it has been such a great experience for both myself and my kids. So much that I already want to have my youngest go next year since the other two will be moving on to kindergarten, and it's such a warm place where the staff are so helpful and friendly. I'm sure that the director doesn't know my name, but she definitely knows who both of my kids are, and she is always willing to talk to me whenever I have a question. She also meets with the kids each week during chapel, which my kids have really loved. There are so many places to take your children to, and they range so much in quality as well as affordability. The Fellowship is such a great price, I believe, for what I get, and I have never had anything but a positive experience there. I know my kids are safe with the staff, and I especially love their teacher this year. I can see how much she cares for these kids. We have seen her a few times at the market and she greets them, genuinely happy to see them. It's such a reassuring, peaceful feeling knowing that your kids are in good hands.

Thoughts from a CPM graduate: I attended CPM from 1st grade…read morethrough 5th, I will graduate high school in 2026. To say I am grateful I went to Cedar Park Montessori would not be enough, this school impacted me in so many ways, it allowed me to embrace my creativity, ask questions, learn to share and pay attention and ultimately blossom into who I am now! I read once in a book, something along the lines of "If you're taught wrong in elementary school, you'll be trying to catch that train for the rest of your life." Through my experiences at other schools, they teach you very uniform, everyone is learning at the same speed and you are taught that raising your hand just makes the lesson longer, nobody likes a teachers pet or a goody two shoes. Whatever you do... Don't challenge popular beliefs, you are taught to follow the system. CPM is quite literally the opposite, you are encouraged to look at things differently and ask "why?" I used to question "why does this math problem even work?" And at CPM, I was greeted with an actual teacher who wanted me to understand not just pass. It's a smaller more personal learning environment where instead of memorizing you actually learn!!! And its at YOUR pace, not the kids next to you, when you first grasp something it's beautiful and at CPM that feeling was honored by teachers and staff, at CPM the reward isn't it in the candy it's in the understanding. I learned how to love learning at CPM. This is my greatest strong suit; being able to find joy in seeking knowledge. Thats my favorite takeaway. After CPM I went to a public middle school, it was a bit rocky adjusting, not only to the education system but because Montessori kids are so much more emotionally aware. But by having good roots and being taught morals young, I was able to choose my path, I didn't fall into the wrong group, and to this day I've never given into peer pressure, (I know very few teenagers can say that!) and not to toot my own horn, but, im aware that my maturity level is higher than many of my peers because of my early education. I can't thank my parents enough for choosing CPM, truly, one day, I wish to give my child the education and opportunities my parents gave me by enrolling me at Cedar Park Montessori.

We absolutely love The PREP!…read more Making the move to The PREP a year ago was by far the best decision we've made for our family. Both boys are much happier & thriving academically. From the Owner, Directors, Teachers & Chef, the entire PREP family seems truly happy to be there! I know they each play a huge role in why our family is so happy to be apart of their school! Thank you ladies for taking care of our babies & loving them like your own. We can't recommend The PREP at Journey Parkway enough. Keep doing what you're doing!

I enrolled my children at The PREP School Of Journey Parkway during peak Covid. My experience with…read morethem I've been positive with two very different children, who entered at different ages. Both children were given the space, and their own individual needs to succeed. The staff and leader ship have always been transparent about how many children were doing and what they were doing, which reassured me on how they were doing throughout the day. Communication lines I've always been open with teachers and my messages have always been conveyed if I had any. My kids were always given the time and consideration that they needed, especially my son. When he entered the junior toddler classroom as he was scared to be away from me every day, they gave him extra cuddles until he was comfortable to play on his own. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a nurturing place for their child.

Our two daughters (5y and 2.5y) attend this sweet little neighborhood preschool. We couldn't be…read morehappier with our decision. Here are the top 10 reasons we love it (in no particular order): 1. The teachers are caring, friendly, attentive & engaging for the children. 2. The school is relatively "small" therefore the children get great attention with small class sizes. 3. The curriculum is engaging & fun. My girls are so proud of the projects they do and always come home talking about what they are learning. 4. The staff is supportive and willing to continue learning opportunities we are doing at home (ex. Potty training, etc). 5. The environment is conducive for learning. It's such a sweet space. The kids love it. And both have done fabulous in napping there when applicable (my youngest has recently stopped but was a very light sleeper and never had a problem sleeping at school). 6. The parents care- we have met many families through extracurricular activities and school sponsored ones and they are just a nice group of professionals that care about there kids and care equally about the school. 7. Flexibility: the school has multiple payment options, day attendance options and can work with each family. We have enjoyed convenience. A great place for working families, stay at home parents or any in between. And it is reasonably priced to other far more expensive options we looked into. 8. Great location- very centrally located and close to downtown, central neighborhoods & easy access to Mopac. 9. Year round- extra bonus in my book! The school curriculum is year round therefore you don't have to scrabble for summer camp options. Care is all year. They follow the AISD school closures and vacations for days off. 10. The outdoor space is fun and always expanding! The staff and parents of Stem are always looking to make the outdoor space better! New this year all the colorful place scales in the back and beautiful gardens on the front. The kids love playing outside and they spend a nice amount of time outdoors exploring. Water days during the summer months!

This school has truly transformed the way our tender-hearted, introverted daughter feels about education. She used to dread school every single day, but now she cries when it's time to leave. The nurturing environment, emphasis on outdoor play, and creative learning spaces like the "rainbow centers" have made her feel so safe, happy, and excited to learn. We couldn't be more grateful to the teachers and staff for creating such a magical, supportive experience for her. Inside Outside School is a place where children truly thrive.

The Inside Outside School is a dream come true. Really. I've had a child at IOS for 4 years now and…read morewe couldn't be happier with our choice. We did a lot of research when selecting a school. A lot. We did all of the tours, but didn't find anything that felt like a true fit with any of the alternative schools that strictly follow one ideology. Waldorf felt too heavy, Sudbury felt too unorganized... We wanted something in between - a small school with aspects of democracy, a solid curriculum, mixed age classrooms, ample time in nature and a strong support system for the social/emotional development of each child. What we've gotten at IOS has been so much more than that. The small class sizes make it easier for the teachers to customize their lessons to each child. There's no "teaching to the middle" here. Communicating with the teachers is easy and enjoyable. The campus is straight-up magical - you have to see it to believe it. There's a creek on the property and acres of woods for the kids to explore. There are chickens, goats, guinea hens, even a donkey, that live on site. Sadly, IOS doesn't accept 35 year old 3rd graders, or I'd be all over it. It's not all about the curriculum or the democratic meetings or the farm animals the kids help care for. It's not all about the gardens they grow, the amazing community of parents and teachers or the social/emotional support given to (and subsequently created by) the kids. It's about all of it. It's about being in the conversation of cultivating human greatness with a group of families and teachers that think outside the box and truly care for every aspect of each child. There's so many reasons that I send my child to IOS, but the main reason is that I know she is Loved, Supported and Celebrated as a human when she's at school. She wakes up happy every morning, ready to get on the bus with her friends and get to school. What a gift!
