My daughter had been going here for years. We unfortunately had to stop going for about 6 months…read moredue to work and travel. When we came back there was a new director. She was AWFUL. She was rude and disrespectful and the teachers there agreed because they dropped like flies after she was hired. All of my daughters previous teachers quit within months of her arrival. during COVID she made up a new rule that you had to wear masks OUTSIDE to hand off your kids to the teacher and continue to wear them in your car at pick up. No. When I argued with her about the science of that not making sense she told me I "MUST COMPLY" Flash forward to a month later and we get sent a message online that summer school is full and no more children will be accepted. We never received any info on summer school. I reached out and asked why I needed to enroll my three year old child into a daycare for summer that she's been going to for years and she told me "because you do and we are full so you will need to get all her things by the end of the week to make room for other students" To tell you how absurd that is is an understatement. So we rush around trying to find a day care that will take my child within a week Since we both work. Now months later they have been trying to enroll us into auto pay and even called us several times to see if we are coming back for the fall. When I spoke to the assistant director just now and told her what happened she said "we will take note of that." This school used to be THE place to go back in the day but now it's all about power hungry nobodies thinking they can shove their weight around. Good luck getting kids to come back with no teachers.

Our daughter has attended St. James Pre-School for the last several years and we have loved it…read more The teachers are amazing, have been there for a long time, and do a great job caring about and teaching the kiddos. The student to teacher ratio is quite low for the area, the extra activities and programs they put on are so fun for the kids, and we love that they offer extended day programs for working parents. Both the teachers, staff, and other families that attend the school have been very stable and consistent through the years. We will be sad when our daughter "graduates" from St. James because it has been a great place for her to start her education!

Words truly can't express how grateful we are for this Montessori school. Moving our twins here was…read morea big change from their previous program, and the difference has been remarkable. Their growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- has exceeded every expectation. The teacher‑to‑student ratio is exactly what young learners need. Each child receives thoughtful attention, support, and guidance, and you can see the impact in their confidence and development. The campus itself is calm, kid‑friendly, and has that peaceful, "zen" feeling that makes learning feel natural. Update: Our twins are now heading into kindergarten, and the foundation this school gave them is incredible. They're already comfortable with addition and subtraction, reading, and writing -- skills they learned here through hands‑on Montessori methods. We also love how much the school celebrates community and childhood joy. They host trunk‑or‑treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas parties, Valentine's celebrations -- all the fun moments kids look forward to. For Mother's Day and Father's Day, the children make the sweetest photo cards holding letters that spell "Mom" and "Dad." Those gifts have become treasured keepsakes in our home. The school even brings in Santa Claus for pictures during the holidays, which our twins absolutely adored. This is a true Montessori school. Don't let other reviews sway you -- our experience has been nothing short of wonderful.

They love your family the day you step in…read more We are having to leave the school because of a move and I'm crying (last day today) I could not have asked for better teachers. My son started first and just grew so confident and learned so many things from this school. My daughter started after and she is getting this blossoming personality and just lights up when she sees her teachers. The owners and front office staff are the best humans and are willing to work with you. The best communication. This will always be the "the one that got away". Wish I could bring this school with me in my move. I want thank everyone at Klein-Spring Montessori for every single minute. You have been one family to me and we will miss you.

Coming from Germany only 5 years ago, the size of the public high school was an issue which we did not anticipate. Cunae is in comparison a lot smaller, but that was in our case exactly what we were looking for. Our son absolutely thrived in the last two years. The IB program was what attracted us in the first place, but the whole concept at this school is fantastic.

She loves school more than anything, to have your child beg to go to school, happy every morning is priceless. She grew to be a confident and kind girl and I am positive the school had an immense impact on this. I always felt heard, communication with leadership as well as teachers have been amazing. The performances always blow my mind and last years robotic show for first grade surpassed my expectations. Truly recommend.

We have had kids at Paddington since 2017, and they love it! Our oldest was very shy when she…read morestarted there, but with the encouragement of one of their incredible teachers, she was totally out of her shell by the end of that first year. Then, were so impressed with their handling of the pandemic in 2020 (we experienced no "covid learning loss"), it was an easy decision to stay on for the primary grades. And we have not been disappointed! We continue to have truly great teachers, that you can actually interact with every day at drop off and pickup and build relationships with them. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to schedule a tour or go to one of the open houses. Not only is it a charming environment, you will be amazed at how much more they manage to cover than just the basics. There is a focus on fine arts and performances, which are so great for confidence building. But they also get into robotics, go on cool field trips, and seem to have more fun events and activities than you might get in public school. The summer camp sessions are great, too! We'll be very sad to move on after 4th grade!

When the year first started I'd have given this school 1 star. I was looking at other schools and…read moreeven *seriously* considering homeschooling. I did not and still do not like the principal - she seems very plastic to me and usually sporting an expression like she has no idea what's going on but is doing a good job of faking it. The very first day when we were doing things "wrong" she in a very rude tone asked had we been at parent/teacher night before school started and we said no we were out of town. I didn't feel like there was a problem as I had spoken to my son's teacher before the first day. But what anyone neglected to mention was anything about procedures for dropping and picking children up so when the principal spoke to us using terms as if we had any idea what she was referring to it furthered my dislike of her. I have since learned this is her very first year not only at this school but as a principal period. That explained a lot. She's desperately trying to show off her capability but is going about it with too much effort so she looks scattered in anything she does. Parents are allowed to drop kid off in the morning after signing in at the office which includes them scanning your photo ID and being given a sticker with your ID and where you will be printed upon it. But parents are not even allowed into the building in the afternoon for pick up - not even the Pre K or kindergartners for supposed security reasons. Why it's different for the afternoon than morning is anyone's best guess. They are constantly begging for volunteers and cannot seem to figure out why they have so few when they have such a cold, unwelcoming, unfriendly policy for/with the parents. The very first week my 5 year old in his first year was given homework! This shock and astounded me in a very bad way. I even asked my father for confirmation and he agreed that when I was in school we didn't start getting homework until second grade. It's a very tedious "chore" to make a child that young sit and do a worksheet or two a night. I'm still not thrilled with it but there's not much I can do unless I do want to remove him from the public school system. I had problems with his teacher at first. My child had never been in any kind of school environment and I made this very well known to her. The 2nd or 3rd week of school she sent a note home 3 out of 5 days saying my child didn't do his work and would I talk to him about that! That upset me in about 18 different colours! What did she want *me* to do about a problem she was having with my child during *her* time with him. I was not going to punish him or curtail any activities because at age 5 he would have already dismissed anything said to him by her earlier in the day. A meeting was scheduled for myself, his teacher and the counselor. Then hurricane Ike hit! The school was closed for a week and two days. They opened a Wed almost 2 weeks before HISD did though the vast majority of teachers' and students' homes still had no power or water. I still find this lapse inexcusable! How could staff members properly prepare for a day with no water or power? How could parents properly prepare their children for school without power or water. Oh they said it was perfectly okay to not being the kids if there was no power or water on - it would just be excused absences. But now my child has 3 absences on his record that I do not think should be there at all! After the time off from the hurricane when he did get back to school my child suddenly got right into the swing of things and all the skills I'd told them he already possessed came shining through. A meeting was scheduled for me his teacher and the counselor only for a different reason this time. They asked was I okay having him go over to one of the First grade classes for reading and having him nominated for the gifted and talented program after the winter break was over? No I have no problem with that at all. I have since volunteered for the book fair {I got horribly sick too}. And have a much better relationship with his teacher and most of the staff. I am not sure if I will ever warm up to the principal ever.

My son attended Northwood from when he was 2 1/2 to 5 years old and it was such a great experience…read morefor both of us in so many ways. Initially he had a hard transition due to separation anxiety but the staff at Northwood worked with him to help him feel welcome and that he was in a safe place. I toured 4 schools before deciding to start him at Northwood and I'm really glad I chose this school because of the fact that they are only one of two AMI accredited schools in the greater Houston area and are really committed to maintaining a true Montessori style classroom and environment. My son flourished while in Ms. Regan's classroom. I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Regan. She is an extremely devoted teacher who takes time to know each child and work with them as individuals. This is part of the Montessori method of learning but Ms. Regan goes above and beyond to create the best individualized plan to help your child succeed, she's truly amazing! I also LOVE the playgrounds, it's set in a wooded area with lots of space for the children to run around and they even have a little walking/biking trail. I truly felt like I was part of the family while my son attended Northwood and I really miss that now that he's moved on to a much larger school. I don't think he or I will ever forget the wonderful experience of having Northwood be his first school!
