Their pre-school curriculum is exceptional and has helped both of my children excel when it came time for them to attend elementary.

All of our kids loved every teacher they had at Growing Scholars. They really took the time to get to know my kids, and help them grow both emotionally and academically.

Anytime there was a accident at school between kids, I was immediately notified. Mr. T has built a great culture at his school and the staff are dedicated professionals.

Lycee Montessori is truly a diamond in the rough, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for…read morethe open and effective communication we've experienced. It's clear that feedback is always mutually beneficial, leading to the best possible experience for my children. When I have had concerns, they have been typically addressed with thoughtfulness and care. If I feel there is an issue, the staff is quick to correct, and get to the root problem. The one area I could see for improvement would be around daily photo consistency. There are some days where the photos are flowing in, and others leaving us wondering what our children did for the day. It's nice to pair our conversations with them to photo proof. I would love to see more frequent daily photos so I can get a better, more consistent glimpse into my children's day and see their activities. I understand the staff is busy, and I want to emphasize that I'm looking for a smooth, efficient way to update this without it becoming an annoyance or a significant burden on their daily routine. Thank you again for everything your team does. We are very happy with our children's experience at Lycee Montessori.

There are so many things about Sunrise Montessori I love! My oldest daughter is almost three and…read morestarted at Sunrise in November 2022. The Search: I met and loved a Montessori director that was sooooo promising. The only problem was that her school was near Cedar Park, and we lived in Round Rock. I was having difficulty justifying the drive of 30 minutes one way to get us there each day. A friend suggested I search within my neighborhood, and I'm so grateful I did. By the time I toured Sunrise, I had been to two other schools. After my tour there, the decision was easy! I knew it was going to be the best place for us. The tour felt like I was talking with old friends; we discussed curriculum, daily plans for the children, the staff, and Montessori in general; best of all, we laughed and talked about parenting. We shared stories about our children, and I felt like, above all, it was clear they cared about the well-being and safety of my family as if it was their own. All of the administrator team felt at home! The Start of School: My daughter had an awesome first day of school, but then cried the 2nd day and on for about a week or two at drop-off. Each day she would cry, then I would cry because I felt all the feelings (guilt, relief, worry, etc) even though I knew it was the best place for her. I met countless parents who reassured me that it would get better. Her teachers reassured me it would get better, and the administrator team talked with me to let me know it would get better. One day, Ms. Nancy saw me in tears leaving and offered to give me a call within the hour to let me know how my daughter was doing. That call was what I needed that day and she didn't have to it, but she saw a need and met it with great joy! Those moments are priceless! The above and beyond support and care during that time meant the world to all of us. Now my daughter wakes up and tells me she's ready for school! Not only have the teachers and team at Sunrise cared for my daughter, they cared for me as well! It was a difficult process, and I'm so grateful for each and every member of there team. Teachers (in addition to my daughter's teachers who are awesome (Ms. Marie and Ms. Liz) like Ms. Destiny and Ms. Briana greet me every day and afternoon. Everyone I encounter has a smile and a warm disposition. Whether busy or not, my daughter wants to give hugs to the entire admin team (Ms. Laura, Ms. Lara, and Ms. Briana) daily! Now our leave time is longer than drop off because my daughter wants to say "see ya" to all her friends and teachers daily. I should also mention that Sunrise has been great about suggesting at-home resources to support a Montessori education so that we can reinforce what's happening there. At this point, if you're looking for a great team that will support you AND your family every step of the way...they are IT! What we pay financially far exceeds what we receive as an entire family because of this team! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

The entire staff is caring, well-organized, and provides excellent structure--both academically and socially. We've seen significant growth in our daughter's development since she started. Our youngest will be joining the toddler class next month, and we're excited for her to begin her journey at the school as well. The administration is highly organized, communicates regularly with parents, and does an outstanding job maintaining a positive and structured environment. We're truly grateful to be part of this school community and would highly recommend it to other families.

We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the West Montessori community. Both of our children have…read moreattended, and the results speak for themselves. Our oldest completed the primary program with Ms. Suba and Ms. Meena, who were absolutely fantastic. He transitioned smoothly into first grade at our local public elementary school, where he is thriving. Our youngest has been with Ms. Amanda, along with Ms. Antonette and Ms. Carrington, for two years and has gained remarkable independence and confidence. Thanks to their Montessori education at West Montessori, both of our children have become independent thinkers and risk-takers. It truly is a Montessori environment where the teachers are experts in their field. The leadership is equally impressive; the director, Ms. McAnelly, and the assistant director, Ms. Nasrin, are kind, professional, and understanding. With only four classrooms, the school feels like one big family. The fact that every staff member knows us personally creates a deep sense of safety and belonging, which has always been our top priority. What makes West Montessori special for our family: Family & Community Involvement: The school goes above and beyond to keep parents involved through special monthly traditions. We've cherished the "Mommy dates," "Daddy dates," and "Grandparent dates" for holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and even Rodeo Day. These events make us feel like active participants in our children's school life. Global Awareness & Public Speaking: We love how the curriculum embraces and celebrates diverse cultures. My oldest would come home eager to share the traditions of Diwali or the Lunar New Year. A true highlight was the kindergarten graduation, where every child gave a speech about a particular country they had studied. It was incredible to see that level of confidence and global knowledge at such a young age. Enrichment & On-Site Services: Beyond the classroom, they offer a fantastic range of activities such as Soccer Shots, yoga, dance, Spanish, cooking classes, and more. It is also incredibly convenient and supportive that they allow on-site speech therapy for children who need that extra bit of help. We feel very fortunate to be part of this school. If you're looking for a caring, expert-led, close-knit community for your children, we highly recommend West Montessori!

I've since found out the Head of the School made him stand in front the class and told all the…read morechildren to look at him and wouldn't let him sit down until he started to cry. I'm pretty sure that's not an official Montessori technique? Which I was never told during the meeting in which we were asked to leave the school. Hmm, My heart is broken this school feels it's okay to humiliate and shame children. If this is how the "Head of the School" behaves I can only imagine what the limbs are up to. It's unfortunate this is what he's going to remember about all the time he had at your school.

This was the most amazing experience for our son. We put our son here at 3 years old after a…read moremishap at a MDO program. Talk about a blessing in disguise. They are so structured and nurturing. He excelled in academics. He was reading before 5 and after the Kinder program here, he was far ahead of other children his age. (which we did not realize until 1st grade). The director helped us locate schools with programs fitting for his GT level. He is wonderful in every aspect, from staying in touch with us and offering suggestions even after we were no longer attending the school. His teachers were amazing, patient and learned how he individually learned. They are a true Montessori school and not a glorified daycare. We miss everyone there truly and wish they had options thru high school. Our son was his best self when attending school here. They are a family business with professionalism beyond.

The director was really nice. But the turn over was…read moreterrible. They had to place tape on the babies backs with their names written on the tape to keep up with who they were. My child got moved to other classrooms a lot. Her classroom only had 1 teacher so if the teacher ever had to miss they just moved all the kids over. When they did that I couldn't see her on the monitors. I think the teachers were getting kids confused because they would mark they changed my daughter's diaper, and I would come check on her & her home diaper would still be on. ( daycare diapers had her name written on them as required, so I could also tell if she had been changed or not.) sometimes she would go 5 hours or so without a real diaper change. Even though it was marked in the app that they had changed her. They would mark that they fed her 8 oz & then my 4 oz breastmilk bottles would still be in the fridge. So I think they were giving her someone else's milk. Also I could walk in & they would ask me which child was mine. So that definitely worried me. You don't have to be buzzed in( you do have a code) but if someone was in front of you, anyone could slip in while someone else was walking in the school & the teachers didn't know who the kid was much less what the parents looked like. They had pictures of the babies in their own classroom, but since they had to always move them to the older room their pictures weren't in there. Since there was only 1 teacher that meant babies were left crying while she held one baby, or changed a diaper or fed any of them. I'm pretty sure it was the cafeteria staff that would come relieve the teacher for her lunch break. They were all nice people but extremely under staffed, with a high turnover over rate. We left really shortly after we started and found an amazing daycare where there are 4 teachers for about 10 babies. Even the toddlers class has 3-4 teachers all the way until they are two. And we pay less now. The new school has better cameras & more security. Unlimited log ins at our new school. The infants have their own "playground" and go outside everyday weather permitting. it's covered so you don't have to worry about the sun as much. **** update. I didn't post my first or last name on yelp. So that makes sense that you couldn't pull my name off of any database. I also believe it was my spouse that registered our child. However, my child did attend this school. I struggled to post this because I truly thought the staff was nice. But as a parent I would want to know the experience we had. The school was just severely understaffed & everyone was new. Teachers walked out in the middle of the day & quit it got so bad. Those things can be fixed. Thank you for your response, and the invitation to speak with you.

You can truly see a difference with Champions Montessori when you walk into their school. It is quiet, organized, and children are behaving and engaged in learning activities.

Both of my kids learned so much and the positive impact of Champions Montessori was evident when they started kinder. No tears and eagerness to learn on their first day! The owners, Mrs. Ryann and Mr. Nick treated us like family and I always trusted leaving my kids with them. Obviously, I highly recommend Champions Montessori!

My 2 year old attended this school for 7 months. I was really excited about him attending the…read moreschool because it was a Montessori and they were more reasonably priced than where my daughter attended several years before plus they provided diapers/wipes. Ms Abby seemed very professional and stayed on top of everything happening at the school. Everything was going good until it wasn't. He'd caught hand, foot and mouth after attending for a few weeks, had a couple of falls, one that I felt was a little suspect because he was sleeping on the cot and apparently there was a metal part that when he got up being only 1.5 at that time he was wobbly and hit his head causing a nice little cut. I excused because things can happen and he'd just really learned how to walk but I didn't understand why they would have cots with metal exposed in that way. Nevertheless we continued moreso because he seemed happy there and we were saving compared to others in the area. The final incident was when he was bit by ants in the yard. No one called me, Ms Abby just sent an email. When I got home and my MIL who picks him up from school asked me if they'd called and I said No, then checked my email I was furious. They'd called several other times when his temperature was slightly elevated even after taking him to a doctor and letting them know there was no cause for concern (mild congestion) but not this! My son's arms were filled with bite marks and I immediately called Ms Abby but it was about 630 that day. She didn't answer or call back. I was traveling the next day (Friday) and she said she called back but I didn't see a missed call or receive a vmail. We didn't discuss until Monday when I got back in town. She was very nonchalant about it and apologized but couldn't assure me of anything. She said the teachers didn't know there was an ant pile in the yard, which told me they aren't really paying attention to the kids like they should outside nor were they properly safeguarding the yard. She said they'd removed the ant pile but it should have never happened. I also informed her of a possum I saw one day a few weeks before and asked if she knew that they were around her property and she looked really surprised. My son was speech delayed at that time and Ms Abby and one of the teachers who was assisting outside kept pointing out that he didn't even cry he just came to them with his arms out showing them the ants crawling on him. Imagining that still haunts me) In that moment, there were too many things she didn't know and I realized this was an unsafe place for my son and we had to find another school for him. It would have been a nice gesture to return the remaining tuition we'd paid but she and her partner (who is her dad) refused to give me the money back for the remaining weeks that we'd paid for that month. That told me they took no responsibility for their neglect. I was supposed to forgive and forget. If there was someone else who could watch my son his last day would have been the day of the incident. We were able to get him moved a week and a half later. I would have never forgiven myself if anything else happened to him. It could be a 4 or 5 star review had I been lucky enough to not have my kid have this experience but when they are met with challenging situations to navigate, I was able to see their true colors. Being reactive versus proactive is just not acceptable when dealing with children. I couldn't afford to risk any other incidents at my son's expense. We sent him to the more expensive Montessori and he has been thriving there. I guess you get what you pay for.

This was a disappointing experience from the start. My son started in the 2 year old classroom and…read moreimmediately regressed academically. After he turned 3 we had parent teacher conference and his teacher told us he was not ready to move to the next classroom. Her reason was he did not meet the maturity and developmental requirements to move up. Less than 2 months later they told us he was moving to the next classroom (he had not shown improvement on the areas previously mentioned). There were inconsistencies at home and I expressed to his then current teacher, new teacher, and the director that I did not think he would handle the transition well at that time. They moved him anyway and he started showing signs of physical aggression which he never had before. I understand the need to protect teachers and other students, but this was poorly addressed. About 10 days into the new class we had a meeting with the new teacher and the owner stating we would need to pick him up early when he was having behaviors and have consequences once taken home. Later that day we were called to pick him up early. The following day they allowed him to stay a full day even though he was having behaviors and at pickup we were told he was not welcome to come back to the school. We were given 1 day, one early pickup to put into practice their action plan. The school did not take into consideration the parents concerns. They thought they knew better.

I had a wonderful experience in the 2 year old class. The teacher was great, my son had friends,…read moreeverything was good. He moved to the next room after he turned three and it quickly went downhill. He spent numerous days in "the office" without any notification for me until I got there to pick him up. I would have appreciated some sort of communication that he had been spending hours in the office, which was a glass room with a dining room table. My son had just turned three, one day I came to pick him up and the "owner "said he refused to put his shoes on and told him he couldn't go back to his class until he put them on by himself. He's three, and it was literally the first day he had ever worn shoes with laces. He had no idea how to untie them, they were in double knots. Another day I went to pick him up and he had been in the office three or four times that day for random things, and the "owner " told me he was harassing other students. I was never called nor notified of this behavior. Just walked in to my 3 year old son in "The office" for idk how long. One day I went to pick him up, and they told me he wasn't welcome back. Again never called or notified until I walked in the door. The "owner " also complained in a letter to all parents that children shouldn't be getting out of their cars after eating food on the way to school, that they could make it from the house to school without eating. And that many of the parents cars look like bombs went off inside them. I don't know how this man is over a school, but it was a terrible experience. This may not be the experience of everyone however it was my experience and I would not recommend this school.
