We thought the school was a good fit for our creative child but it's restrictive and everything has to strictly align with Steiner philosophy from the 1900's with no room for current research or freedom for individual interests.

Esta escuela es sin duda la mejor escuela Montessori para nuestros hijos…read more Desde el momento que entré a esta escuela pude sentir algo muy positivo y especial. Fue una conexión instantánea donde pude sentir que mis hijos estarían en buenas manos. Hay tantas cosas buenas por decir de esta escuela. Empezamos por la directora las Sra Diana, ella está haciendo un excelente trabajo en esta escuela, desde la selección de los maestros y ayudantes en general, la programación, organización, y estrategias de educación adecuada, alimentación etc. Desde le primer momento que conocimos a la Sra Diana, ella fue muy amigable, nos dió un recorrido por toda la escuela, nos presentó a la gran mayoría de sus maestras y personal asistente, incluyendo al personal que cuida a los bebés estas Maestras son muy dulces y amorosas, inclusive días después conocimos a la hermosa y cariñosa persona que cuida de la cocina. La Sra Diana desde el primer momento respondió, todas y cada una de nuestras preguntas, las cuales fueron muchas, ella tuvo esta calma de aún sin saber que eligiéramos su escuela ella respondió con mucho cariño cada una de estas preguntas. Que placer es poder conocer a personas como ella. Sin duda alguna la Sra Diana ha creado un equipo muy bueno, se puede ver que cada maestra, asistentes y personal en general disfruta su trabajo y trabajar en este hermoso lugar. La maestra de mis niños la Srta Feith y su asistente la Srta Mia. Ellas están haciendo cosas muy bien para todos los niños de este salón, ellas son muy amorosas, amables, amigables, se puede ver estos niños son felices allí, mis hijos solo tienen un mes y medio de estar asistiendo a esta escuela y cada mañana para las dos últimas semanas ellos entran a la escuela y van corriendo para su salón, se puede ver su entusiasmo en sus hermosos rostros, para ellos es un lugar divertido, no más lágrimas como vimos en las dos primeras escuelas de guardería donde estuvieron, a pesar de ser "escuelas" en realidad eran más que todo una guardería. Y lo más importante, mis niños están aprendiendo bastante, hemos notado un gran cambio, ellos ahora hablan más, y son más independientes, y conocen muchas más cosas. Hemos sido testigo de su programa de educación, tienes muchas actividades diarias, adicional a esto hay una madre de familia que pasa a los salones y les lee a los niños unos libros, esta Sra que lee estos libros es tan dulce y tuve la oportunidad de asistir a una de sus lecturas y yo disfrute tanto su lectura que literal sentí ganas de regresar a la escuela, cuando ella está leyendo tiene la habilidad de hacer los cuentos tan reales que tu puedes vivirlos. También cada semana tienen un hora de lectura donde los padres pueden asistir y compartir con sus hijos y educadores de este evento, sin duda tiene cosas excelentes y muchas actividades variadas. Eliminando así tener una rutina aburrida. Esta escuela no es solo una escuela Montessori, es una gran familia. Todo el personal cuidan de los niños aún si no son sus maestras directas, están al pendiente de todos los niños. También estamos muy felices con la Sra Teresa, ella es una de las maestra del próximo grado donde mis niños asistieron en el futuro, la Sra Teresa, es un amor de persona, siempre está atenta de todo y al pendiente de que todo esté bien, ella es muy amigable y sociable, y tienen mucho amor para los niños. Me encanta que los niños están en un lugar con tantas actividades y muy importante tienen acceso a diferentes áreas de la escuela, por ejemplo en la mañana salen al patio trasero donde tienen cosas divertidas para los niños jugar al aire libre, luego tienen la opción de usar un gimnasio donde los niños juegan con diferentes juguetes como pelotas grande, legos y carritos y libros muchas cosas más, en este lugar también imparten clases hasta de música. También tienen un área que es un teatro, usado para diversas presentaciones y lecturas. y hay un comedor donde los niños suelen tomar sus comidas y snacks. En si los niños pueden estar en diferentes áreas, evitando así la rutina de estar casi todo el día en 4 paredes. Hasta los horarios de la comidas son buenos, el desayuno a las 9 am, lo cual es perfecto porque los niños en especial los pequeños despiertan algo tarde y tienen la opción de compartir el desayuno con sus compañeros en el aula, y luego tiene snaks y luego su almuerzo, luego otro snack y la cena la toman en casa, lo cual es perfecto. Wao, la verdad yo estoy tan feliz de haber encontrado este hermoso lugar. y estoy tan feliz de ver a mis hijos ser felices y crecer en esta espectacular escuela. Quiero felicitar a la Sra Diana y a todo su personal, gracias por hacer que esta escuela funcione tan bien, gracias por cuidar de nuestros pequeños con tanto amor. Dios les siga bendiciendo infinitamente, están haciendo un excelente trabajo. Mil gracias.

We absolutely LOVE this Montessori! Our family has been with KSMS for about 6 years now (with a few…read moreyears off in between) and it has always been an amazing little school. When our older 2 children (now ages 10 and 9) attended this school, I knew that one day our younger children would have to attend as well. Now, our 2 year old is enrolled and he LOVES it just as much as his older siblings did and even had one of their old teachers. The staff is kind and patient and you get that "welcome to our family" feel when you enter. We are currently in the process of having to search for a new Montessori, as we are planning a move down the the Pearland/Friendswood area next Summer to be closer our family and for work. The search for another Montessori has been very heartbreaking thus far, as the handful of schools that we have looked at don't give us that "feeling" we got when we found KSMS. Immediately we knew that KSMS was one of the good ones and we haven't found one that is comparable to it down in that area yet. As crazy as it may seem to some, we have seriously considered making the 1hr commute up/down to Spring from Pearland so that our son can continue attending KSMS and eventually for his younger sibling when the day comes. That's how good of a school KSMS is and that's how high of a standard they have set for us to compare other schools to. My husband and I have worked with children ourselves for many years, and you can tell when someone genuinely likes and understands kids; they understand kids and they LOVE them!

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.

We have had our child in the infant program since she was about two months old. As first-time…read moreparents, we were nervous, but the Principal was very experienced and knowledgeable. She has had that school for almost 40 years and has stuck to tried and tested methods (and not fads) when it comes to daycare and Montessori. The staff was very responsive and gave each child a lot of attention. They do not crowd kids into rooms and simply put on tv. They do real activities and send reports home daily. The building is beautiful with lovely night sky murals on the ceiling in the front. They have a theater, performing arts venue, science lab, and many other additions. The playground is unique due to the big plot of land and they have a veggie garden for the kids. They really are big on accountability and growth. Our child has a solid moral compass, curiosity, confidence, and good character: all things that the school strives to inculcate. I saw children there that were the children of parents who went to Spellwell themselves years earlier. That is a testament to the impact a well-run school can have on an individual and broader society. Honors kids from high school come back and visit. The staff looks like a close-knit team and the principal has vision. Wonderful place

After touring twice and deciding to enroll my daughter (who they said they would love to have in…read morethe program), I sent the required two payments (the first for $995, and the second for $350). After I made my payments, I did not hear from the school. I've inquired twice by email that they communicate with me, and at this point I have also requested a refund of my payments since we have had to move on to another school and program. While completing the enrollment process, they do stipulate that there are no refunds however I did not expect them to grab my money and then have no further communication with me. I expected much better from these people who seemed kind-hearted and sincere, and now regrettably I'm out over $1,300 that it seems I will never get back. This is not an ethical way to do business, and I just feel it is my duty to share with any other parents looking to consider this school.

The office staff knows parents by name and are proactive in ensure kids get a great education. Things aren't all rosy.

His teacher is utterly fantastic and so professional with parents and fun with the kids. We are always greeted by more than one staffer on our way in and out of the building, usually referring to my son by name.
