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. The class size is small and I like the daily report at the end of the day. They make cute projects to make learning interesting. 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!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Ms. Elena Morales and Smaller Scholars Montessori Academy !…read more Our son has been at the school since he was just 18 months old, and this place has truly become a second home for our family. As he now prepares to start elementary here, we reflect with deep gratitude on the impact Ms. Elena has had on his journey. Ms. Elena's dedication, warmth, and the thoughtful application of Montessori principles have been transformational. Thanks to her care and guidance, our son is not only well-prepared to start Elementary but he has also grown into a more confident, independent, and kind-hearted little boy. She has nurtured his curiosity, encouraged his growth, and helped shape the values he will carry with him into this next chapter. Thank you Smaller Scholars for everything you've done for our son and to Ms Elena for all the children lucky enough to be in your classroom. -- The Iannone Family

I can't thank them enough for their kindness and hard work.

As a parent you want to have a positive experience with a daycare, but unfortunately, this is not…read morethe case. The lack of communication, professionalism, and accountability was very concerning. When parents leave their children in someone else's care, they deserve transparency, respect, and reassurance. Instead, they are dismissed and left with more concerns than confidence. I would not recommend this daycare to families who value clear communication, consistency, and a staff that takes parent concerns seriously. Especially if I'm contacting you about making sure a kid is picked up on time and you get mad or have an attitude instead of being professional.

They work very hard everyday working on their reading and math and MANNERS which is a huge plus for me because children should also be taught appropriate behavior and emotional coping skills. Although they see him for majority of the day and already do such a great job strengthening values in my son, I know those skills have to be instilled at home. I have seen (several) times a student in my sons class hitting kids and teachers and even hit ME when I volunteered as a chaperone on a field trip. The teachers and front office worked so hard to make it work with that students but sadly the student was not cooperative or given consequences at home. I mean the school can only do so much. But with everything I have seen over the years here, Hood or bad outcome, they really truly care for each and every child in that school. I would definitely recommend this kids r kids to everyone I know looking for a great start to a child's education!!!

I spoke to the owner this morning and was trying to see about potentially enrolling my 1 year old…read moreson into the Montessori and the owner wouldn't be flexible with my busy work schedule (I'm a healthcare worker) so I could tour the facility she told me I could only tour between 11a-1pm and instead of working with me she told me that, "this is her time and I don't have to care about your time." She was extremely rude to me and instead of trying to get my business she argued with me and told me that I bothered her and than she hung up. I went to 5 other facilities prior and just happened to notice this Montessori next to my son's dentist office and so I wanted to give them an opportunity. Why would I put my child in this type of environment? I'm thankful she showed me how little she cared over the initial call so I wouldn't subject my sweet child under her "care".
