Spanish schoolhouse does not have appropriate training and qualified certified educators or…read moredirectors operating their school. My daughter suffered emotional abuse from her teachers, coming home frequently scared to go to school because her teachers yell, hold her wrists in a forceful manner when she makes mistakes. Because they are not certified or given adequate training (only every three months according to director with non accredited trainers) "teachers" are not skilled or knowledgeable in teaching practices that are developmentally appropriate and in alignment with Texas standards. They are unaware on how to utilize redirection, positive reinforcement and engagement tools and resources that support the whole child. As a certified experienced educator and multilingual program director myself I am distraught I let my child go to this daycare for over a year and advise other to stay away from an institution that does not have the abilities to teach young children. There are other multicultural and multilingual accredited schools in the area if looking for that type of care. Lastly, The entire Spanish schoolhouse board of directors does not have a single verified educator at the table speaking for quality education and what that actually means- their CEO is a graphic designer and many on the board are business and operations minded sources of knowledge. Steer clear of Spanish schoolhouse!

I can't say enough great things about Grace! My son…read morecurrently attends, and has since he joined the 2 year old class. My daughter attended the 2, 3, then 4 year old classes. She started kindergarten this year with so much confidence, and I fully believe it's from the lessons she's learned at Grace. My children have absolutely adored their teachers and classmates, and I couldn't be happier with the entire Grace team. They truly care about the kids. Their lessons are incredibly well rounded to give them the education they need, while also being nurturing and kind every step of the way. I will forever be grateful for the Grace team!

My wife and I were in a scramble to find a summer rest are for our son (the delay caused by not…read moreknowing if he would get extended summer classes, he's mildly special needs). My son is 4 but not yet potty trained. He's polite, gregarious, and laughs a lot. But, as a kid potentially on the spectrum, he will have melt downs. Usually a hug and a cracker will bring him back down to earth. We told all of this to the supervisor during our initial phone call and she said, "We definitely have openings, this won't be a problem. Why don't you come take a tour?" We scheduled one for that following Friday. We were toured by Soni (sp?) and it became clear that this would be a problem. She only talked about the gifted kids in the school and, when prompted to talk about the average kids, she shrugged and said, "We deal with them." We met the 4 year old class, all sitting quietly and coloring, while the teacher looked on. We were introduced as the parents of our son, "Who has special needs, so I don't know what to say to you." What does that even mean? My son was quiet and polite, if not a little shy, the whole tour. We left with the feeling that this wouldn't be a good fit. 5 days later, we received a voicemail from the supervisor saying, "We don't have the teachers to handle him or any openings." What happened to "this wouldn't be a problem"? What happened to the openings? It's as if, by some neuro divergent prejudice, our son magically became a problem. Do not send your kids here unless they are "perfect".

To put it simply, we love Ivy!…read more For the past three years, we have enrolled our children at Ivy Montessori Academy on McCallum in Dallas. While there are many other similarly priced Montessori day cares in the area, Ivy's teachers and staff are what sets them apart from the rest. Their teachers are like second moms to our kids and pour so much love into their students every day. Ms. Anisa, the director, keeps us well informed and loves our kids as if they were her own. She keeps the school running smoothly, even through the many challenges COVID has presented. Ms. Julie, the infants' teacher, was such a wealth of information when our children were in her care. She was a great thought partner and helped us navigate through dropping naps, changing feeding schedules and introducing solids throughout the years we were in her class. Ms. Yazmin, Ms. Zarin, Ms. Sherry and Ms. Erica in the toddler rooms are so kind and loving with our kids. While in their classes, our kids' vocabulary skyrocketed and we saw them meet so many cognitive milestones with ease. Ms. Brenda has been THE BEST resource and partner in potty training. She makes each of her kids feel special and leads them through so many creative activities.

I started looking for a daycare when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I asked friends and moms where I…read moreshould go and was give the names of all the "go to" day cares in North Dallas/Richardson. I was shocked at how many facilities had wait lists for infant care - up to 18 months??? It didn't even make any sense to me. Ivy Montessori was literally around the corner from our home. We went in for a tour, unscheduled. The facility was much smaller than the other places we'd visited! We met with Kathie, the director and she gave us a quick tour and showed us the Infant room. It's small - with about 8 cribs, a few saucers and bouncy chairs. But I noticed there was NO smell - it was so clean! Kathie told us that there was no wait list, but as soon as we'd made a decision to bring back the deposit to hold our spot. The best part was, it was very affordable ($895/mo), especially for the North Dallas area. On his first day, I had to come back up to the center mid-day with his tuition check. I walked in to a low lit, quiet day care. The entire center was quiet - everyone was down for a nap. My baby, who had not slept over 4 hours or even in a crib yet, was asleep in a crib, on his back, in a sleep sack. From that day on, he's slept in his crib and slept through the night. They were able to put him on a schedule when I was not able to. My son has been at Ivy since he was 7 weeks old. He's now 7 months old. We have even moved to another area - but I still drive him to Ivy every single day. He is thriving, and has a team of teachers there who love him. I will sing their praises every day and am so grateful we found them. I have total peace of mind when I drop him off every morning, and I know we will keep him here until he starts Kindergarten.
