The Director claims there's a cut off time but there is not! Protocol isn't followed at all . Management sucks and that's because of the Director she lack at being a Boss and taking ownership . In fact she has other employees telling other employees what to do causing tension . And the one giving orders walks around all day hanging in the office talking about other employees and it's with the Director because she engages in it . She doesn't have your back at all because she talks about you as well . I've witnessed her several times about other employees. If she was replaced this business would be operated correctly . So many people including myself have left behind her Horrible management skills and horrible communication skills . She cares more about having friendships with her employees than setting the tone for the school . The reviews for this school are true especially the ones speaking on the director and the management. There's favoritism there's racism and so much drama ! And the way some teachers handle the children isn't Good at all . There frustration gets the best of them . Management will not inform you of changes until the last minute leaving things very chaotic. I've had several people tell me she was racist but I had to see it for myself and she is !! The owner of this business is all anout his self. Raises are hardly given and the way he presents his self is very unprofessional. Money is all he cares about but his hard working employees don't get appreciated . He hardly ever speaks unless he's spoken to. Rude and uncaring is what he is ! He has no knowledge of his employees unless it's coming from the Director . All of the owners schools have bad reviews especially about poor management and unfairness . I don't recommend this Daycare at all ! The tours are all a front . Nothing happens the way it's presented to you. This place is highly unprofessional and anyone lacking experience is hired and thrown anywhere just to fill that spot . The good thing about this job is you would always have a job because she's afraid to fire anyone she rather give chance after chance . I could go on and on about why not to come to this place but It would take hours to do so. The previous review about cameras mysteriously not working is absolutely true for some reason the bad things always get erased or told the cameras aren't working! Please keep that in mind because there's definitely cameras that works. The director and her sidekick watch it all the time . I hope my review helps some or all save themselves time on checking out this Daycare ! Thanks

My son started attending the preschool in late October/early November. At his previous center, we…read moreexperienced a situation where he was bitten several times. We discovered the bites during bath time period I expressed to the director at Meadow Oaks that it was important to notify me if anything happened to my son. I explained that I did not want to discover something had been happening that was not reported. However that exact thing happened at Meadow Oaks. My son has longer hair, that he wore in braids, and it was ripped from his skull. When I noticed that his hair had been pulled from his head, I immediately called the center. The director was unaware however the teacher, Clarissa, knew what had happened and did not report it. In addition, I was asked to come in Monday to view the footage and when I showed up there was no footage to see. It had already been deleted based on their video storage system. Clarissa says that the incident happened in an area that is a blind spot for the camera. I do not feel that a child of 18 months can rip someone's hair completely from their scalp. Clarissa had been rude to me on previous occasions(I reported this to the director), on 3 instances I came to the center and my son was soaking wet(pants and diaper with urine), and his face would often be dirty. I reported this incident to the Mesquite police and Texas department of child care licensing. This was a heartbreaking experience for me because I explain to them all I went through emotionally after my son attended his previous center and the exact same thing happened here. The director is unaware of what happens at her center, and the teachers are inadequate and incapable of caring for children.

I've always felt confident in the care and support our child receives there. A few things we've really appreciated: * Care from 6 weeks through Pre-K (year-round) * Summer program for school-age kids * Hours from 7:30am-6pm * A safe, loving environment * Meals and snacks included in tuition * Minimal closure days, which is a huge help for working families * Wonderful community of educators and families. * Lots of space to learn including a playground, baseball fields, large gym, kitchen, and of course dedicated classrooms for each group. * Occasional kids night out. * Focus of play and social skills, while also learning the basics and preparing for Kindergarten and beyond. * Low tech, little to no screen time. * They take the lead and potty train the kids during the 2s year (which was worth its weight in gold for our family * Extras include Soccer Shots, Dance, and Gymnastics. * Tenured staff And so very affordable. If you are thinking about touring, definitely make a visit. I'm so glad we did

I have the unique perspective of being a parent of two children in different learning classroom…read moreenvironments. My children also have experienced transitioning from one environment to the next due to age and readiness of skills. Here's a few examples of what I love about my children attending Park Cities Montessori in their crucial early years of life. The skill set of building concentration on one activity and putting it away before moving on to the next is huge. It teaches a sense of order, helps build patience and perseverance within a task, as well as learning how to take turns and wait until the work becomes available. No matter what activity the children engage in, there is a focus on the process and the beauty of slowing down. There is also ample opportunities for the children to experience nature. There is the crucial benefit to circle time and singing with one another and building camaraderie with one another as a class family. Zero screen time is a huge piece of what makes PCM great because it encourages children to use their imagination and engage in exploration when boredom arises. The practical life skills that my children have developed is incredible. When out in public, the amount of strangers that compliment the table manners our children have at such a young age is a testament to the time they spend at PCM. We put the work in at home, but it is with the guidance and advice from PCM that has led us down such a successful path. Plus it's super cute to see our 20 month old walking everywhere he goes with his hands behind his back. Finally, one irreplaceable quality that PCM staff demonstrates is the love they have for each of their children. My son was enrolled in Nido from 9 months old- 18months old. His bond was so strong with his Nido teachers that after he transitioned to the toddler environment, he would constantly want to show them the new things he was learning and show off his new glasses. The staff always made time for him and made him feel seen, even at a young age. My daughter started in the toddler environment when she was 2.5 years old and transitioned to the Children's House environment a month before she turned 3. Changing environments was worrisome because she was going to be part of a larger class with new teachers and it's always hard to start anew. However, she was always filled with joy and looked forward to going to school. She would get sad when the week was coming to an end and I know that's because of the love she had from her teachers and the love of learning they instilled in her. I cannot thank these ladies enough for everything they have done for my children. I also have a unique perspective being a toddler teacher at PCM and have grown very attached to my class of children. We learn all kinds of skill sets together from putting on our shoes independently, to what it means to listen and create friendships with each other, to learning endless vocabulary, as well as learning how to navigate through big feelings with one another. The children have become a part of me and will forever hold a special place in my heart. Tears fill my eyes as I write this review because I'm so grateful for Park Cities Montessori. Do yourself a favor and get on the waiting list- fast. You do not want to miss the opportunity for your children and family to join an incredible community.

After meeting the director Carolyn and her teachers, we knew immediately we made the right choice. PCM has become a second home to our children and the teachers have become surrogate parents to our girls while we are working. They have both grown leaps and bounds over the two years they have been there. Reading, writing, vocabulary, independence, confidence, practical life skills - academically and emotionally I couldn't be more thrilled with their progress and I credit PCM with fostering all of these qualities in a loving and positive environment. Reinforcing kindness, independence, and friendship with classmates, I couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for them and will be very sad when we have to move on to kindergarten! Highly recommend this wonderful true Montessori school!

Dallas Christian School presents itself as a beacon of faith-based education, but beneath the…read moresurface is a culture built on exclusion, favoritism, and quiet discrimination. Unless your family has the resources to donate large sums of money, the "right" race, or gain favor through employment at the school, you are just a number--tolerated, but never truly included. The school's values are less about Christ and more about class and elitism. A tight-knit inner circle of donors, board members, and influential families call the shots. Everyone else is kept in their place. Diversity at Dallas Christian is performative at best. Minority students are rarely visible outside of athletic teams, and there is a pattern of recruitment that raises serious ethical questions. These students are valued for what they can do on the field or court--not who they are. And yes, there have been documented and disturbing instances where students of color have been called racial slurs, including the N-word, by both peers and staff. Consequences for these actions have been minimal, and accountability is nonexistent. The emotional toll is real. Kids who start off confident and engaged quickly become withdrawn, questioning their worth in an environment that measures value by status. The self-esteem damage lingers long after. Many of the glowing reviews online are not from impartial voices--they are parents on the board, major donors, or paid reviewers. Don't be misled by the marketing or manufactured praise. The reality inside is far different. Meanwhile, families who experience harm are pushed out quietly, without support, and without acknowledgment. Even staff members who happen to be minorities are part of the same exclusionary system--and they know it. There is no safe space here, only a well-oiled machine that rewards compliance and marginalizes difference. If your family doesn't "fit" their mold--racially, politically, or socially--you will be pushed out, one way or another. The environment is not just biased, it is hostile. And they'll use your tuition to do it. With the rise of school vouchers, this kind of systemic discrimination is only going to get easier to hide. If you are a minority family, a values-driven family, or seeking real faith-based education--run. Don't be fooled by the brochures. The truth is much uglier.
