We were admittedly…read morehesitant to send our kids to daycare altogether, but could not have been happier with the care our kids received at this school. The staff is communicative, caring, and fun. They strike a great balance between fun and learning, and our kids always came home having learned a new fact or life skill along with a story about a fun game or dance they did. We have been so surprised at how independent and outgoing our kids have become since starting at CHMS. We had to relocate from Houston, and of all the things we'll miss, CHMS tops the list. The folks there are so dependable and truly felt like family. It was truly a privilege to send our kids there, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

She ruined my daughter's day because she told her about her bad negative experiences in life and held her for 7 minutes telling her more and more of how hard and bad her life is while sitting at her desk, texting on her phone while at work and sipping from her coffee. My daughter was in a hurry to pick up my younger daughter who's enrolled here with the learning experience. She didn't make her feel comfortable at all and unwelcome.

We have had such a positive journey here--both of my children have truly thrived and have loved being part of such a warm, caring environment. The teachers go above and beyond every single day, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the kids. My children have been incredibly well prepared for kindergarten--not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The curriculum strikes a great balance, and the staff does such an amazing job meeting each child where they are. For example, my son has a strong interest and talent in math, and his teachers gave him work that matched his skill level, which kept him both challenged and engaged. Every teacher we've had the pleasure of working with has been wonderful, supportive, and dedicated. We are so grateful for the foundation The Learning Experience has given both of our children and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing, fun, and supportive environment.

It…read morecan be overwhelming and stressful deciding who will care for your children, but we have total peace of mind knowing our girls are in excellent hands. When we started the search for day care and walked into TGTA, Ms. Toma instantly made us feel welcome and safe. She encouraged us to ask questions and visit as many other facilities to feel confident in our decision. Needless to say we knew from the start that TGTA was the right fit. Every morning our toddler runs up to her teachers and gives a big bear hug, which is a constant reminder to me of how much she enjoys her time here. I appreciate that she gets designated reading, music and art time. We find that her vocabulary, social skills and general curiosity are increasing by the day. For our infant, we receive daily reports for feeding, naps, diapers, etc which makes the transition from school to home that much easier. There is transparency with multiple webcams for parents, and flexible hours for drop-off and pick-up. The teachers and staff truly care about our kids, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be part of the TGTA family.

From the first call, Stuart, the office manager took a lot of time to answer all my questions about what kind of programs they have the kids in, their meals, and how they handle Covid restrictions. I wanted a daycare that had some structure to it and didn't just let the kids watch tv all day. Once I did the tour, I was impressed with how friendly the staff was and willing to take the time to talk to me. The rates are very affordable too and meals are included! My son has been at the day 4 1/2 months now and it has been a great experience. The staff and Ms. Cynthia (the owner) continue to be caring and encouraging to my son. They let me know when he needs extra supplies or has any problems that might crop up. They have a great app called Brightwell where I can see photos, crafts, and what they're learning every day. Highly recommend Kids Connect if you want a staff that cares, a good facility and great communication.

I live in the neighborhood and was considering doing classes here but my first impression was…read morepretty disappointing. Came to pick up a family friend from camp with my own newborn and toddler in tow. After waiting in the carpool line I pulled up and proceeded to load them In. A young lady told me I can't stop but to just be quick so I continued. I'm not sure how you safely put kids in the car without stopping, so i didn't realize this was problematic. The next lady that approached me was extremely rude yelling at me that I can't do this and she's going to report it. I let them know I don't the system, but if they tell me a better option I would be happy to do it. There was no reason to be that rude. Politely offering a more appropriate solution would've been sufficient. Instead this lady was aggressive with me as I was juggling two toddlers and a newborn in the Texas summer heat. The last thing I wanted to do was slow down the line, but being nasty about it when the first young lady told me it was ok feels like her anger was misplaced. Unacceptable.

The location is great to the Meyerland/Bellaire and surrounding communities. The gym is filled with everything you need to get a great workout. They have a changing room, and also cubbies to hold your belongings. Electric machines, weights, cross fit equipment. They have personal trainers to help. Very clean facility, water on hand if you forgot your own and coffee. The gym has a spin room and a separate room for their many classes which include, body pump, yoga, Zumba, pilates, strength training, women only classes on hand and over 60 classes as well and many more. There is a monthly schedule listed online. I believe with the membership you also have access to the pool and they do have classes. The downfall is that they don't have a ton of evening classes for working folks, but there are some options. Most classes are in the morning to early afternoon. Overall I am very happy with this gym. People of all ages and all walks of life will be found here.

It is such a special place.

The warmth is felt through the bright colored hallways, with artwork and pictures of children completing it spanning from door to door. We have been lucky to have some really wonderful teachers from the infants classes all the way to Pre-K 4. The school is also home to the unique STARS program, which blends occupational, speech, and music therapy into the traditional classroom day for students who need the extra care. While the program can be expensive compared to other schools, scholarships are available, and the ability for students to be picked up and dropped off for extracurricular classes, such as Dance, Art, Gymnastics, or Swimming is a huge bonus.

The growth and development I've seen in my daughter since she started with them has been remarkable - I'm amazed by her milestones every day. I'd like to extend a big thank you to Ms. Daniela, Ms. Ester, Ms. Moraima, Ms. Tania, and Ms. Alaguthayammal for all the love, care, and dedication they show my little one.

As much as I wanted to like this school because of the initial tour (which is gonna be the only…read moretimes that you might ever see a director or the owners) and the proximity to us, the experience for us was disappointing on many levels. We left three years ago after several months of enrollment, yet I STILL have negative feelings about our time there and unfortunately, I continue to hear from others about some of the same issues. I was initially very enthusiastic about Mariner and even recommended it to two friends, both of whom stayed And were quite happy. In my case unfortunately, things did not work out and turned unpleasant quickly. In my son's class, one wonderful teacher left, followed shortly by the other. Within a short period of time, the class went from a teacher-to-child ratio of approximately 1:8 to 1:22 children. The replacement teachers who showed up over night were very young, no native English speakers and without credentials or experience I would expect from teachers responsible for so many young children. More concerning to me were the safety issues. On two occasions, my son came home with unexplained bruises. The second incident ultimately led me to withdraw. I received him back with a huge bruise, and no one at the school could explain how it happened! Two days later was then told that he 'had a habit of rubbing his head against the carpet'--something he had never seen before and I have never seen since. During my meeting with the director, it became obvious that someone was not watching my son and he got injured, but they were not clear about how it happened. Do not send your child here! We immediately withdrew and while Ms Jenny and Ms Pat handled the situation courteously and refunded tuition and deposit without delays, the experience left me deeply concerned. During the time my son was enrolled, there was also an extraordinary amount of staff turnover. Several teachers who had left stayed in touch with us and told us they had left because of poor working conditions and low pay ($13/hr). There was also a woman at the front door (Ms Jessica 2021-2023) who was consistently rude and made morning drop-off unpleasant for families. She was eventually replaced only after she moved to New York. Another thing that always bothered me was the overwhelming smell of cleaning chemicals. I understand and appreciate the importance of cleanliness, but my son would often come home smelling strongly of Fabuloso. It was so strong that I found myself wondering whether the school was relying too heavily on chemicals rather than using more thorough cleaning methods such as deep or steam cleaning. I genuinely dreaded that smell when I picked him up. To make a long story short, there are better options out there. After leaving Mariner Montessori, we enrolled our son at Children's Village in West University, and our experience there was absolutely wonderful year after year. Mariner Montessori was a very difficult experience for us, and unfortunately, even years later, I still have not forgotten it. I heard a similar concerns from another parent, and finally decided it was important to share my experience as well. I hope this helps other families make an informed decision. Each school has their pros and cons.

The school was always such a happy place for my kids and they loved going. It's a smaller school so the teacher/staff are all involved in every classroom and know every kid by name. There is very low turnover on the staff so your children don't have to adjust to new teachers often. TCC uses an app and updates multiple times a day with pictures/activities, that was one of the hardest parts about moving on is not getting those updates every day. TCC also keeps things fun and stimulating for the children with theme weeks, extracurricular activities (Tippi Toes, Soccer Tots, Jolley Trolley), art, daily spanish class, and occasional music. If the weather is nice they try to give your kids extra outside time and in the summer do fun things like splash day/foam party/snoballs. The preschool program in particular is very impressive as far as learning and curriculum and my kids were more than prepared for grade school. They also have the choice of healthy/balanced lunches and snacks so it is one less thing for parents to worry about. The other families are wonderful as well and there is a great community. Parents are often invited to events for things like Halloween, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter, Christmas, and several others. The gifts they send for Christmas and Mothers and Fathers day that your child made are priceless and I treasure them so much. They have flexible part time options if you are looking for that. I can't recommend this school enough.

From day one, she was treated with a unique love combined with the structure that all children crave. They are incredible at including parents in the day-to-day life of their kids at school. After attending other schools, I can say that TCC excels at: -Offering outside activities during the school day (music, dance, soccer, etc.) -Parent communication - a detailed monthly newsletter of curriculum, menu, and celebrations -Consistent updates on your child with numerous photos a day -Balancing love and discipline (my child is SO well behaved at school thanks to them!) -A focus on health for students -Involved staff -Most importantly, my child was happy every day and never wanted to leave school We already miss TCC so much and wish we never had to leave. This school is a gem.
