There are so many reasons I like this school I don't even think I can list them all here, but here goes: -The school is owner run and I really feel like the director has a passion for sharing montessori with the kids and families. -The classes are staffed with wonderful montessori trained teachers. -It has a very cute setting in a cottage-like building and nice outdoor space which makes it feel very homey -You have the option to purchase lunch or bring your own where all the other schools I found required you to pay for lunch even if you brought your own. -There is a great group of parents who are active in the parent association -There are monthly educational enrichment programs brought in for the kids -There are monthly school-wide play dates so kids can socialize outside of school. There is a focus on fostering independence and responsibility in the classrooms and both my daughters have really enjoyed and thrived in this environment. I am very thankful to have found a place that is such a good fit for us.

Great School! Both of my kids go to this school and we love the family atmosphere and education…read morethat they receive. This school offers a great option for preschool education at a fair price. Not knowing much about Montessori when we enrolled, we learned that the Montessori approach allowed our son to learn at his own pace building his self-confidence. The approach to learning language and math introduce concepts using sensorial materials that build on top of each other. Our son is now reading and does basic addition/subtraction all before the age of 5. We also like the balance that the school strikes between education and free play and how invested the teachers are in the development of the kids. Another thing we really like is that they great extracurricular programs such as soccer and dance onsite.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Morning Star Montessori. From the moment we walked…read morethrough the doors, it was clear that this was a warm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed environment. The staff are not only professional and highly trained in the Montessori method, but also genuinely kind and attentive to each child's individual needs. Our children have absolutely thrived here by gaining confidence, independence, and a love for learning that we didn't expect to see at such a young age. The Montessori philosophy of hands-on, child-led learning is beautifully implemented. It's amazing to watch how naturally the children develop practical life skills, language, and early math concepts through exploration and play.

Morningstar Montessori is a great choice for parents looking for a preschool that truly prioritizes…read morecare and nurturing over pressure on academics. What stands out the most is how the teachers and staff genuinely care for the kids like their own. It's a warm, safe, and loving environment where children feel secure and happy especially important for first-time schoolers. They follow the Montessori method, but the focus is really on each child's well-being, building confidence, and social skills rather than pushing academics too early. Another big plus: it's very affordable compared to other schools in Allen offering similar programs. You get quality childcare, peace of mind, and values-driven education without the high cost. If you're a parent who values a strong, caring foundation for your little one, I highly recommend Morningstar Montessori.

We tried one of the mainstream day schools for our three year old and within a few months realized…read moreshe was not benefiting much from that environment. Our child wasn't very interested in the play time that seemed to dominate most of their day, and the little education that was provided was far below what she already learned at home. We heard about the Montessori method and were curious. An extensive online search for good Montessori schools in Plano and Allen lead us to Montessori Children's House. Upon walking into each class during our tour, the difference was immediately clear. The children were each fully engaged in their own individual activity, it was quiet and the manners and behavior observed was very pleasing. We knew our child would fit in, and she's been very happy over the past couple months now. Besides the environment, the staff and Effie are excellent in addressing our needs and concerns. It is clear they each truly care about the development and advancement of each of their students.

The **quality of the education and the teachers is truly excellent**. Over the years, our children have had different teachers, and every one of them has been **prepared, loving, patient, and kind**. One of the things we appreciate most is **their communication** -- we always feel informed and supported as parents.

There was an issue with a teacher that was reported to state. There was no open communication between the school and parents, everything was kept very hush hush. Parents started to talk and get together and a few of us that were communicating with each other got the notice that they would no longer be providing care for our children. I think the handling of the situation was very poor on the school's end. It felt like the school was more concerned with protecting themselves than the children. There are, however, a couple teachers/directors that are very good and well liked by the children.

As a first time mom, it was extremely difficult to find the right school and trust others with my little one. All of the teachers we have had are knowledgable and caring. Right now we are in Ms. Kristel's class and I could not express how great she has been. She takes the time to really understand and get to know her students individually. My favorite thing about her is that you can really feel her warmth and love for teaching when you enter the classroom. She is the best! The director, Ms. Asila has done an exceptional job at creating and maintaining a school where children can thrive. Every year she goes above and beyond to ensure Pinnacle is top notch.

I don't have enough words to express my love and gratitude to you for teaching my son, most importantly loving my son. You have a heart of gold and I am so appreciative of everything you have done! BEST TEACHER EVER! This school exemplifies Montessori education by its exact definition. I remember thinking there's no way my child would take a nap on a cot, sit in a chair correctly for breakfast and lunch, or sit down and focus for circle time. With the patience and guidance of these amazing teachers it was quickly learned. The safety I felt dropping my child off at this school was most important to me. I have enjoyed the access to cameras so that I could glance at my child throughout the day to see his mood or interactions. I have watched my child's education develop at Pinnacle Montessori starting at basic skills such as scooping and pouring to now reading a book, doing math, and writing sentences all of which have fully prepared him to excel in not just Kindergarten but life in general. I strongly recommend this school from the bottom of my heart!
