    I can't say enough good things about Montessori Greenhouse! I have two kids at this school since…read more2020 (3 years) and expect be a parent for another 3 years! I have experienced their toddler and early childhood program. I have seen my kids flourish under the teacher's guidance, patience, love, and humor(!), as well as surrounded by other students who are being taught how to be independent and kind to each other. I especially love the mixed aged classroom where older kids are taught to be patient and caring with the younger kids. I'm so glad I discovered greenhouse for my kids. Thank you teachers for all you do!! My kids Love going to school. In particular it's their teachers that are exceptionally awesome and caring. I hope the administrators do what they can to keep and retain them. The teachers are the lifeblood of this school and why parents recommend others to come.

    When we did the initial walk through at MGH, we informed Michelle of my son's frustration and…read morebehavior issues and asked her how they would address this at school, she confidently told me she would take him outside to diffuse him. We also had numerous formal and informal meetings with Christine and Karinna, who always said they wanted to work with us. We were told we had to get outside help from a doctor, and when we told them it would take a while to see results (per the psychologist), they reiterated they were willing to help. After being called to be picked up after an hour of class on his 4th full day of school, I spoke with Christine and she told me what happened. I also called the director, Heather, to discuss our options. Christine didn't mention anything about Simon not being allowed to attend school anymore without extra help provided by his family, nor did Heather. On Tuesday morning, I sent Heather an email with tips of how to diffuse my son, thinking the teachers could use it as a guideline in helping to steer him in the right direction. Twenty minutes prior to school starting, she called to tell me that it wasn't possible for my son to get any more one on one from the teachers and since our nanny couldn't be at the school until 10am, the staff felt they weren't safe with my son in class without the help. Why Heather didn't call me Monday or even earlier Tuesday morning to let me know he was not able to attend that day still baffles me. Heather said she was waiting to talk to me at the site, but that would have only resulted in her turning us away as I had my daughter with me that morning and wouldn't have been able to stay to help.  I got my so ready that morning, we packed his lunch together, and I gave him the pep talk about Karinna not being in class, but got him excited for music class that day. If I wouldn't have sent that email, Heather wouldn't have called at all and we would have arrived at the school only for her to have told us the news in front of my son. How do you think he would have felt about that? I'm surprised that the director of a place that regards itself as fostering confidence in young children would reject a child to their face. The website states, "studies prove that the relationship between a caretaker and a child is more secure when it's longer. It supports the social and emotional development of a child. Whereas, frequent change in approach or caretakers can cause suffering and early depression in children." Heather and her staff gave my son one full day the first week and three full days the second week, calling us to pick him up on what would have been his fifth day at MGH.  If the email I had sent Tuesday morning were suggestions from an actual psychologist, would they have called to tell me you couldn't give him one on one attention to implement the strategies from a doctor? The meeting on Friday with the teachers suggested otherwise, as we were told they were ready to work with whatever care we found once an assessment was made. Christine informed me that she would have to call to have my son picked up from school if the kids felt unsafe. According to her, this happened for the first time on Monday even though he was called to be picked up three prior days of school. No one informed me he wouldn't be able to return without my nanny or a parent in the classroom after this one incident of him kicking in the direction of a child. I was under the impression that we would have to come get him if it happened again, but not that he couldn't return. The first I heard of this was twenty minutes before the start of class on Tuesday. I was caught of guard and it was very unprofessional. I am so glad this did not end up happening in front of my four year old son, as the director originally intended. I understand my so was not easy and required a lot of one on one. He has never been in anything full time all day. He has never been in a Montessori setting. I believe he was not given a fair chance to succeed. He was not even given an entire week. The MHG program is more geared toward families with Montessori backgrounds, with kids that are ready to do their work without much assistance. This should have been conveyed to us before we signed on, as we were open about his past behavior and experience. I hope in the future you are up front with parents regarding any children that may have special needs or behavioral problems.

Every instructor was so kind and supportive. We loved it so much we are hoping to have our daughter enrolled soon.

From safety to child lead learning it's all worth it. I'm so happy I found this place for my littles.

She has grown so much, all of our friends and family compliment on her communication and social skills. We really do have to thank the wonderful staff at LSH in their every day role in helping our daughter develop into who she is today. The educators use the Brightwheel app to update us with photos and videos of the children's activities, as well as naptime. During our transition out of diapers with potty training, the teachers updated us with potty breaks and worked with us on the routine we had at home to ensure she was comfortable and familiar. The new site is beautiful and we feel blessed to be among some of the first families at this location. The staff did an amazing job in creating all of the different spaces for the children. We also feel very safe that there are multiple gated entrances into the classroom/play yard. We want to keep her play-based as long as possible and will be keeping her another year until she heads into kindergarten. It's wonderful to see the friendships she has formed with many of the children that she started out with in the toddler class.

The love, care, and sense of safety they provide hasn't changed a bit--it's only grown stronger. The staff is incredible--genuinely kind, honest, and so patient with every child. They treat the kids like family, and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than dropping your child off each day knowing they are in good hands. The environment is clean, nurturing, and filled with positive energy and encouragement. What I love most is how they truly focus on each child's individual needs while creating a strong sense of community. My daughter comes home happy, singing songs, and telling me about all the fun things she learns. It's such a blessing to watch her grow emotionally, socially, and spiritually in a place where she's so clearly loved. Thank you, Little Lamb, for being such a beautiful part of our family's journey. We're so grateful for you

From the very first day we toured the school with Ms. Leo, and later met her teacher, Ms. Dana, we knew this was the right place for our daughter. The warmth, professionalism, and genuine care we felt from everyone gave us complete peace of mind. The teachers here truly pour their hearts into what they do, and it shows in every detail--from the way they nurture each child to the thoughtful communication with parents. The Procare app was such a gift, keeping us connected with her day through updates, pictures, and notes. It always reassured us to see how well she was doing. Most importantly, we've watched our quiet little girl blossom during her time here. She has grown in confidence, made her very first best friend, and came home smiling every single day. Knowing that she felt happy, safe, and loved here means everything to us. To any parent who may be considering Cypress Kinderland Preschool: I cannot recommend it enough. Stop searching, because this is the place where your child will not only learn, but will also be loved, understood, and celebrated for exactly who they are. This school has laid a beautiful foundation for our daughter's academic and personal growth, and we are forever grateful. To Ms. Dana, thank you for your kindness, patience, and the way you believed in our daughter even when she was shy and reserved. You helped her discover her confidence and voice. To Ms. Leo, thank you for welcoming us with such warmth from day one and making us feel instantly at home. To Ms. G, I will miss your assurance and support. And to all the teachers and staff, thank you for every hug, every encouraging word, every smile, and every bit of love you've poured into the children--you have made such a difference. Thank you, Cypress Kinderland, for giving our little girl such a joyful, safe, and meaningful beginning. You will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

We looked at numerous preschools in the area but Kinderland stood out due to it including STEM in it's curriculum. We enrolled the boys and have not been disappointed since, and Kinderland has thus far lived up to our lofty expectations. What makes Kinderland standout is the level of care combined with an appropriate amount of high expectations and supporting development. My boys are in Miss Leo and Miss Dana's class, and both teachers are extremely kind and developed fantastic rapport with my kids. Both boys are now excited to go to school and are greeted every morning by the friendly and loving Miss Dana. We're also super impressed by all the art activities, which included an art show within the first two weeks of my boys being there. My wife and I were ecstatic to see how much our boys were actively involved in and how well they were doing! Not only that, but they come home every day more-and-more well-behaved, speaking new words, signing new songs, and interacting at new levels at home. We are very pleased with our experience at Cypress Kinderland Preschool, and we look forward to having our boys enrolled their during some key formative years. I know my little guys will be happy to stay as long as they can!

Dana's class, and is still with her. I couldn't be anymore happier with how well my daughter has been treated & taught up to this point. My daughter is an only child so she was very much attached to me, with the help of Miss. Dana and the many great teachers my daughter is now more self dependent & more social with other kids. The patience & love for kids that every staff has is clearly shown through their actions! Mrs. Christa is the new director & she is nothing but great! Her communication with the parents is awesome, and when it comes to interacting with the kids she's there! She's is always out to see what's in the best interest of the kids despite the situation. Whenever I have questions or concerns I know she's there in the blink of an eye to help me out. I very much appreciate her help! As a parent you obviously care about your kids and who they are around, the moment I met the staff, and got to know them more I knew I didn't make the wrong choice. They take good care of my daughter & I thank them for that!

She has been there during COVID and the school does the right things to keep my child safe as much as they can. My child started at the age of 2 and has been potty trained thanks to their help and good advice. Again my child is happy and learning during this time. Our child turned three in December, can count to more than thirty, knows the alphabet, and is continuing to progress. The teachers give us updates, send us photos, and our child is excited to share all the learning projects they did and sent home. I highly recommend this preschool.

As a parent…read morewho fell in love with the "old school/traditional" feel, I was pretty nervous about the construction and changes that would be taking place. I was blown away by how fast and smooth the transition was and the new classrooms are beautiful! Not only did the school get a facelift, but they also updated everything including utilizing easy to use technology to sign in and out, message faculty and staff and receive photos throughout the day. There have been a few new people but they fit right in and also truly care about each child. I now have my two oldest boys attending school together and couldn't be happier. I tell people that they are blossoming and that is an understatement. Cypress Early Explorers was pivotal in potty training for both of them and were so helpful throughout the process. My boys have not only learned a ton so far but they are confident, are practicing great manners, are making friends and literally don't want to come home. The expense is worth it. I know my boys are safe, growing, happy and loved. That makes me feel so much better (mom guilt is real). If you're looking for part time or full time preschool for your child, check them out!!
