As a certified teacher with a degree in Education and experience working with the ages of infants…read moreto 21 years of age, the educational experience of my children is my utmost priority. My husband and I thoroughly looked into the early education options available in Denton, and we knew we wanted something different that a daycare. The methods of Montessori education are exactly what we believe to have allowed our children to flourish so well in their young ages. These methods are not what one will see in the typical preschool. There is a priority placed on independence and self-sufficiency. Children are allowed to improve in many skills and abilities. It goes above and beyond letters and numbers and sitting in a classroom quietly, but allows a safe environment for children to grow in their daily skills, gain confidence, sustain a natural love of learning, and develop a sincere belonging in community. Countryside Montessori School has always made this possible for our children, and we keep great peace of mind in knowing our children are safely cared for as they explore. Communication is frequent. There is transparency and connectivity for parents. They prioritize each student and the students as a whole. They truly are an extension of our family experience as opposed to something completely separate. It is incredible to see my children suddenly be able to take off their diapers and actually throw them away starting at 1.5 years of age. It is overwhelming to see my son accomplish tasks like cleaning his room, putting away his toys, helping with laundry, because he spills with pride in himself. My 1.5 year old daughter cleans up spills she makes and demonstrates sincere kindness to others. There is also little better than feigning ignorance and allowing my son to proudly show me where his locker is and how to put away his possessions on his own. When I drop off and pick up my son, I am able to witness him put away his possessions, go to a task that suits his interests, but also educates and challenges him. He doesn't need an adult to hold his hand through this process, though many are also readily available should he need help. My son can hold meaningful conversations with adults in ways I have yet to see from most children older than him in my time as a teacher. This school is different from other schools, and I love this about Countryside. This is the purpose of Montessori education. It is the reason my husband and I picked this school. This ownership and pride is the most invaluable thing Countryside Montessori offers to my children. Mrs. Fuess and the faculty here are always positively involved with the kids. I have personally witness a patience and attention with these children that I am amazed at knowing how challenging it can be to work with kids(as a parent I want to study their Jedi ways!). This school may not be what every parents wants. But for those looking for something that can support their children in these ways, they are an incredible resource and school. I know they have great ideas and possibilities for the future of the school as well which I look forward to!

My daughter has been going there since she was just 3 months old and I'm so happy with how they care for her. Everyone seems happy to see her each morning and she smiles the minute she sees her teachers. The school is clean, well-organized, safe, and they plan so many fun activities for the children.

Both of our children love their time at Alden and have developed a strong love for learning. Their growth has been amazing to witness. The teachers demonstrate care and expertise on a daily basis. Their staff is responsive, supportive, and transparent. The questions, issues, and feedback we have had over the years have been met with openness and a sense of partnership. Our children are precious and the most important things in our life. The teachers and administrators at Alden understand this and embrace their responsibilities in a way that instills confidence and comfort. My only concern is that they only offer up through 3rd grade!

I was so scared that I wouldn't find a place that would take proper care of her and give her the attention she needed. I toured other daycares and schools, but when I stepped into this place, I KNEW I had found the one. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They care so much about each child and take the time to teach them new things everyday. I was amazed by the amount of progress my daughter made in 3 weeks there! She started walking, eating more table food, and talking more. Miss Ana, Miss Mallory, Miss Jennifer, and Miss Andrea are absolute treasures. I feel good everyday when I drop my daughter off because I know she is in great hands. If you are struggling to find a place that will love your munchkin like their own, you have to give them a call!

MKU has been a lovely place of growth for both of my kiddos for years. The teachers and staff are…read morevery attentive and enthusiastic about what they do everyday. My oldest has been attending MKU since he was a little over 1, and he is displaying enough knowledge and skills to skip kindergarten at 5.5 years. My 1 year old comes home and tries to sweep and clean up spills himself. I can tell that the curriculum taught is helping my little ones grow as individuals. They do their best to mitigate and prevent the spread of illnesses as best as possible in a daycare with lots of young children. Their Compass app is a bit spotty and I wish they would either improve it or move to the Procare app only. However, overall, I highly recommend MKU Weatherford for the safety, learning, and affordability!

While I was originally impressed with CMS, I have since been gravely disappointed. My child…read morestarted in the Pre-primary classroom at the age of 18 months. She learned to wait her turn, the value of her peers, manners, and was potty trained. At the age of 3 she transitioned into the primary classroom. While the expectation was high, my child did not transition well. Rather than meet the child where they are and modify the program, they tried to modify my child. As a result she retaliated to the point that she was no longer "allowed" to participate with her peers for meals, or even playground time. It wasn't until we left CMS and I had her evaluated by educators far more experienced and qualified than the staff at CMS that I was reassured that she was just behaving poorly due to being in a stressful environment. My word of caution to other parents out there is that CMS is not a school of inclusion but rather exclusion. Maria Montessori would have never allowed for such a hostile "learning environment" or exclusive parameters from her "guide." I would definitely seek out other alternatives before enrolling at this school simply because of this experience.

Our daughter went there for 3 years from 3-6 years old and we took her out after we realized she wasn't learning anything and was always coming home in horrible moods and never wanting to go back... We just started her at a public school for first grade and her teacher called today to let us know she is VERY far behind... how is it that you can spend a fortune for a private school, send your child there for three whole years, only to find out she literally didn't even fully learn the BASICS for first grade. Not worth the cost.
