    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. As a parent it's so difficult leaving your precious babies in a daycare however LSH takes the stress away cause Nina and her team are genuinely passionate about children and their development. 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

    We started at Cypress Kinderland Preschool in August 2025, and from day one we knew it was…read moredifferent from other local preschools we had visited. The first thing that stood out was the director, Ms. G. She was incredibly welcoming, enthusiastic, and genuinely cared about getting to know our family. She gave us plenty of time to ask questions and discuss our concerns, and she continues to be one of the main reasons my daughter still attends Cypress Kinderland. One thing I really appreciate is the relationship she has with the children and her staff. My daughter isn't intimidated by the director like some children can be in other schools. Instead, she knows Ms. G cares about her. It's also clear that Ms. G has built a positive and supportive relationship with her staff, and I believe that says a lot about the culture of the school. When leadership truly cares about the staff, it creates a positive environment for everyone. The teachers have been amazing. They were so patient with us as first-time preschool parents, whether we were figuring out what to pack for lunch, navigating potty accidents, or adjusting to a new routine. Every teacher has taken the time to build a relationship with my daughter, not just her classroom teachers. They truly go above and beyond with the activities, holiday celebrations, and special events they plan throughout the year. I also really value the parent conferences. The teacher (Ms.Anne) has help us understand how our daughter is progressing and give us practical ways to continue supporting her learning and development at home. Since starting at Cypress Kinderland, she has grown so much academically, socially, and emotionally. Most importantly, whenever my daughter has had a difficult day or we've shared a concern, the staff has listened, responded with care, and even made changes that benefited not only my daughter but the entire school community. That level of partnership means so much to us. As a working parent, there is no greater peace of mind than knowing your child is safe, loved, and learning while you're at work. I truly appreciate everything the staff at Cypress Kinderland Preschool does and would highly recommend them to any family looking for a preschool that genuinely cares about its children.

    I have been at this school for almost 10 years, and it has been such a rewarding journey. While…read moreit's always bittersweet to see them move on, it fills me with pride knowing I had the opportunity to be part of their early years and watch them learn, grow, and gain confidence. I also feel incredibly grateful to work alongside the best coworkers anyone could ask for.

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.

    Our son has been attending Cypress Early Explorers (formerly Cypress Learning Tree) for a year now…read moreand we're so grateful for the entire staff. Everyone is very welcoming and attentive to all the children. Our son has a couple food-related allergies (peanut and dairy) and they do their best to accommodate. Over the past few months, they have renovated the classrooms and made some improvements to the large play yard. There is also a centralized app (Brightwheel) where parents receive important updates, make payments, receive photo updates, and check-in/out their child/children and I have not run into any issues so far. Parking can be a bit busy on random occasions but they have enforced a new rule that prevents cars from blocking the main driveway and there's plenty of street parking if the actual spots are taken. We're lucky enough to walk to CEEP on occasion but when we do drive, there's almost always parking available for a quick pick up or drop off. Lastly, the curriculum and schedules are very well-balanced and our son always comes home sharing exciting updates about what he learned, what he saw, and/or what kinds of arts and crafts he worked on. I could keep going but I'll end this review by highlighting the excellent operation here and how happy my child (and my wife and I) feel about Cypress Early Explorers Preschool.
