The greed of the owner is absolutely unreal and doesn't show any care. He's not approachable or friendly either. The environment is very old and poor working conditions that didn't improve. Theres little support as a teacher, lots of gossip, playing on phones, unprofessionalism, no confidentially w/management, little appreciation, and no opportunity to advance. There's barely any parking and a system that allows no communication between parents and teachers. Parents had never met their children's teacher after months. Very sad.

I saw his teacher on the camera forcing him back down on his mat each time he would try to get up while the other kids slept. I heard my son just bawling in tears even when I was told he would be able to play in the corner or atleast be comforted if he did not want to nap so, I just started picking him up before nap time began. My son was there for less than two months on M,W,& Friday's for less than 5 hours. I would stay for about 10-20 minutes and watch the cameras, there were just so many things that I saw in the classroom and in the directors office that just weren't okay. The director was hardly there and when she was she would be "so busy" with other things she did not have time for questions or concerns. Ms.Mary was great! She seemed to struggle at times to keep things in line with the staff but, overall with all the things I saw happen she did her best! The reason overall, I left Childtime Mesquite was when two staff members lost it. One staff member from a classroom did not want to change the pooped diaper of a little boy because he belonged with my sons group next door so she dragged the little boy by the hand with his POOPED diaper pulled down to his ankles and took him next door to where my sons class was. His teacher did not want to change the little boy and also, thought she was giving her attitude so they both started calling each other names and literally screaming at each-other. THE LITTLE BOY STOOD THERE WITH HIS POOPED DIAPER STILL. Ms.Larie was on vacation and Ms.Mary did not know how to handle the situation ,she was just very sorry and embarrassed a parent (me) was watching the whole thing. My sons teacher ended up just grabbing her stuff and storming out because she wanted to get physical with the other staff member. After that happened,I just knew this is not the place for my child. When COVID was found among the staff it was just another reason not to return. He did learn a lot but, staff is very unprofessional. Ms.Larie was absent to half the problems there. Also, another thing Is if a parent would like to watch the cameras playback something, they have to fill out a form and submit to Ms.Larie then she has to call her boss to get approval, then a meeting will need to be arranged .Which can take days or a few weeks. It just continues to bother me that in the 10-20 minutes I sat there watching all these events happen my question continues to be so, what happened when no parent was there to watch? First day care experience not good at all.

Childtime is a terrible place for children with caring parents. The administrator Larie is…read moreunprofessional and runs the daycare like a circus. My daughter attended for 6 weeks. The last straw was when I picked my daughter up and she was literally soaking wet, had a rash from head to toe and wearing someone elses clothes! Nobody ever contacted me to bring clothes or to notify me of my childs condition. When inquiring about why my daughter was in this condition, I was told that another teacher came from outside to stop my child and another child from climbing out of the window causing my daughter to miss gettimg her diaper change! Safety is not a priority at this daycare. I was told by the teacher Susanna, that she was sweeping and talking to another parent which prevented her from stopping the children from climbing to the window. Any parent that has a child in day care knows that this is unacceptable. My daughter was moved after this to another class and still was not cleaned before I picked her up. The one year old teacher Susanna is very young and emotionally immature. She has no business dealing with children, as she seems to have cognitive difficulties herself. No one in their right mind would tell a parent that she was too busy sweeping and talking to prevent children from climbing out of the window. In the six weeks we were enrolled, there were several different teachers. The turnover is extremely high even for a daycare. At one point, the cook was in the classroom taking care of the children! They do not do anything educational or fun for the children. There are no special events like other day cares. Childtime is just a holding place for children. The facility is filthy and there are several safety hazards. Enroll with caution!

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.

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!

Unfortunately, we moved back to Virginia. We wish we could have brought the school with us. It is definitely our favorite thing about Dallas.

My wife & I and our two sons bounced around Dallas-Fort Worth quite a bit during our sons' earliest…read moreschooling years, leading us to 4 houses - and 6 (six!) schools - in just a few short years' time. Looking back on our experience, there is absolutely no question in my mind that the 2+ years we spent with St. Christopher's were the best for not only our boys (now 5- & 6-years old), but our whole family. From the smart, personable, and observant teachers, to the diverse (international!) feel of the community, to the bright & welcoming atmosphere created by Becky and the front desk staff, St. Christopher's truly raised the bar for our expectations of a school & faculty. Prior to finding St. Christopher's, our boys had attended both Montessori and non-Montessori schools in the White Rock Lake/Lake Highlands areas, and they've attended 3 other schools (1 Montessori, 1 public, and 1 private) in Dallas & Rowlett since. Being a part of so many different schools (not all of which were bad, by the way!) has taught us to appreciate the "small" things (hygiene!, front desk friendliness, student diversity, parental involvement) as well as the "big" things (safety/security, curriculum, communication, caring & nurturing atmosphere). St. Christopher's gave us all of those things and then some. As parents, we always felt welcome, and we rested assured knowing that our children were being exposed to cool neat things (languages, art, etc.) and ideas by people who cared about them & their respective development (our boys are pretty different from one another!). When my wife & I finally settled down in Rowlett (20 miles east of Dallas), our biggest regret was that we'd have to leave St. Christopher's - and even then, we made the daily 2-hour commute until we couldn't take it anymore. If you have the opportunity to send your kids here, I truly can't recommend it highly enough. It's the best, most nurturing and inspiring school we came across. Best wishes to you & your family, and I hope your experience is as good as ours was! :)
