Wendy and Jo do an amazing job behind the scenes. I love that I get weekly emails about everything that's going on at the school and her class. If you are looking for a great school to call home ACORN is the place! They do have a wait list and going on a tour is a must. I recommend going online and check dates for the open house or call.

And, staff stand at the school door each morning to greet all children by name, which motivates me to get my child to school on time! My child is growing beautifully--intellectually, socially and spiritually-- thanks to the lived mission at St. Paul's Episcopal Montessori School, and our family has been embraced by a true community among fellow families.

This is the best Montessori experience in San Antonio. It is a great balance of cost and programming. I cannot say enough good things about this school. Mount Sacred Heart also offers traditional Pre-K instruction and, obviously, feeds into the associated Catholic school, grades 1-8. I don't know much about that part since the Montessori is separate. The children don't wear uniforms and those in Pre-K do not attend mass.The children do have some religious education, but I asked a lot of questions and am very comfortable with it. It has led to interesting conversation at my house as we're not at all religious. Since it is attached to a school, there is the option to participate in CYO (Catholic Youth Organization, I think?) activities. Essentially, it's after school sports. The community is great and the teachers/staff are kind and friendly. Don't waste time and money like I did. Just go take a tour of the school.

This was his first daycare experience, and the center made the transition incredibly smooth and stress-free. Convenience & Daily Operations * Prime location: Just 5 minutes from home, making drop-off and pickup quick and hassle-free. * Brightwheel app: Real-time updates on diaper changes, meals, naps, and incidents - a game-changer for first-time daycare parents. * Daily arts & crafts: My son came home with adorable projects every single day. Safety, Care & Comfort * Rare minor incidents: Only typical toddler clumsiness; staff handled everything with care and immediate communication. * Support stuffy allowed: They welcomed his comfort item, which eased separation anxiety. * Outdoor play: Two structured sessions daily, weather permitting. * Ms. Benavides (Director): Actively involved in supervision, approachable, and responsive to every question or concern. Nutrition & Curriculum * Balanced meals: Included all food groups with good variety - my son loved the options. * Snacks provided: Parents can send specific items if needed. * Strong curriculum: At 2 years old, my son is now praised for advanced speech and knowledge - I credit much of this to the center's engaging program. Staff & Environment * Teacher turnover: Higher than expected, but all staff were experienced, kind, and consistently smiling. * Happy kids: Photos showed joyful children; pickups/drop-offs were always calm and positive. * Family engagement: Fun off-site activities that welcomed parents and siblings. Final Verdict We loved Little Learners Academy and would reenroll in a heartbeat if we hadn't relocated. If you're in San Antonio, tour this center - your child will be cared for, educated, and genuinely loved. Highly recommended!

Bad investment. High drop-out rates and low-quality teaching…read more As a graduate of Providence, I can speak from experience to the lack of professionalism and opportunity at this institution. From freshman year to graduation, my academic cohort experienced a 50% drop-out rate. In respect to the young ladies who did enter college / university upon HS graduation, many later dropped out of their advanced studies. In regards to daily life at Providence, teachers were often disengaged and money was not invested properly in education. For example, our science classes oftentimes used equipment from the 1990s and our lab experiments were rationed due to lack of supplies. Furthermore, prosperous fields of study such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) were not encouraged. As one teacher pointed out to our class, "It is better to learn how to clean the classroom to become a proper housewife than to spend the school's financial resources on science / math equipment as young girls do not need to excel in these subjects." To make matters worse, during my time at Providence, there was a firing of staff due to alleged money laundering. I kindly recommend parents to research other institutions.
