I love how they do have different options for scheduling ( part time and full time). There truly is a schedule that can work for almost any family. The tuition is reasonable. The school is pretty new and the condition of the school is pristine! It is well designed and I love how the activities are fun and engaging for the kids and they are learning at the same time. The school uses an app to communicate and it's so great to have updates on what my daughter is doing and having some pics of her throughout the day. My daughter's teacher Ms. Andrea & Ms. Carolina are so sweet and my daughter really loves her teachers. We are so thankful for this school and for her teachers. Modern Tot is a very organized and the staff truly cares about the students. I would encourage any parent to look into this school.

I used to work for The Community School of the Park Cities, and I witnessed three Lead Teachers…read moremistreating the babies & toddlers every day. They leaned all their weight against the babies when washing their faces in the sink (which can injure their organs), lifted them by one arm (which can dislocate their shoulder), grabbed them aggressively, shoved food in their mouths aggressively, made them stay in their cribs for several hours, yelled at them for wanting to get up or for crying, swaddled them when that's against the law in daycare, and spent a lot of time texting & talking on their phones instead of watching the babies. The Lead Teacher in the Toddler Room was very impatient & squeezed their shoulders when they didn't obey, instead of using redirection. I explained these things to the director, but she said, "It's going to be a lot of work to replace those teachers." I later asked her what she was going to do about the incidents & she said her lawyer told her not to talk to me about it, so I reported the incidents to Child Care Licensing. They visited the school, but weren't able to do anything because I didn't have pictures or videos. I asked the director to install cameras, but she said no. Something must be done to bring awareness to the parents. Those lead teachers are still there & the director doesn't want to make the effort to replace them.

I scheduled a tour with the owner about a week ago for yesterday. My husband, son, and I arrived…read moreon time. When we got there, we were buzzed in and a young lady with braids opened the first inside door, looking like she'd been sleeping or was high. I told her that we had a 10 o'clock tour scheduled. She said that the owner wasn't there. At this time, another young lady opened the second inside door and just looked at us. She tells Braids, "Lemme clean up real quick." The young lady with the braid tells us to hold on, they shut both doors, and then disappear for a few minutes. We're already getting bad vibes. Braids reappears and tells us, "She (the owner) probly gon be mad but she ain't here, so I'ma go head and give y'all the tour. If she mad, oh well." We seriously should've turned around and left then. Totally unprofessional and offering way too much information. Anyway, we decide to give it a try since we'd come from Downtown Dallas to see this place. We walk into what I'm guessing is the toddler room. All of the kids are sitting in front of a tv, silent, but are staring at us, which tells me they were not engaged in what they were watching. Shortly after entering this room, we are greeted by the smell of strong urine and I noticed food and a ball of hair on the floor. It was disgusting. There was a sign on the bathroom door saying not to use the bathroom. My husband surmised that they had a sewage issue. I wonder how they manage that with those little kids? Braids then asks, pointing at my son, "Is he gon be in the infant room?" I told her I wasn't sure - it was our first time there and I wasn't sure how their rooms were set up. She says, "So he's gon be in the infant room. Let me show y'all that." She then walks in front of us and starts kinda jogging so we couldn't keep up, kinda like she was going to give the people in the infant room a heads up before we arrived. When I noticed this, I turned around and looked at my husband and he just shook his head no. So, I found Braids and told her, "No thank you. We're gonna pass," and we left. While exiting the building, the owner arrived and asked us were we there for the tour. We told her yes, but were no longer interested. My husband told her that it wasn't cool to set up a tour and not notify people that we were coming. She didn't say a word, and went right into the building. I used to be a teacher and even have a Masters degree in Education. I can assure you, this place looks nothing like a typical Montessori school. I saw no discovery learning at all. This place smells, is unsanitary, and I wouldn't want people that speak and act like that watching my kid. Stay away from this place.

RUN !!! The LAST straw for me was when my child told me she hadnt eaten anything since her lunch at…read moreschool (11:25a)she told me she informed of they're new "teachers" and that teacher told her there wasn't anymore ! Like are you serious!?!? So my daughter was hungry until 6pm when i picked her up ! And when i addresses it with the owner she blamed it on my daughter not being in her seat, instead she was helping pass out snacks to the other children! Also my child had been hurt there TWICE, the first time was minor the second time a little bit HIT HER IN THE FACE, her face was RED ! And they told me nothing either time (yes they knew) instead they apologized after I brought it to they're attention. Also one of theyre teachers left a child on the playground which i have NO IDEA how that could've happened! After i had my newborn the owner was upset that i didn't want to enroll her there. When i let them know my enrolled daughter would be leaving they tried to tell me i owed extra money, in the end they ended up actually owing me $3! Which she was petty and payed in all coins. This daycare is terrible Also they recently started hiring new "teachers", these ladies look VERY unprofessional and they have no experience, they don't even introduce you or let you know they have new teachers and neither do the teachers. Ugh this place just leaves the worst kind of taste in my mouth. NOT FIT TO CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN

From the moment we walked…read morethrough the doors, it was clear that this was a warm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed environment. The staff are not only professional and highly trained in the Montessori method, but also genuinely kind and attentive to each child's individual needs. Our children have absolutely thrived here by gaining confidence, independence, and a love for learning that we didn't expect to see at such a young age. The Montessori philosophy of hands-on, child-led learning is beautifully implemented. It's amazing to watch how naturally the children develop practical life skills, language, and early math concepts through exploration and play.

What stands out the most is how the teachers and staff genuinely care for the kids like their own. It's a warm, safe, and loving environment where children feel secure and happy especially important for first-time schoolers. They follow the Montessori method, but the focus is really on each child's well-being, building confidence, and social skills rather than pushing academics too early. Another big plus: it's very affordable compared to other schools in Allen offering similar programs. You get quality childcare, peace of mind, and values-driven education without the high cost. If you're a parent who values a strong, caring foundation for your little one, I highly recommend Morningstar Montessori.

I chose Heritage Montessori based on rigorous research of DFS infractions, online reviews from…read moreparents, and finally my in person visit and tour of the school. I was pleased to find this school had only 1 very minor infraction that was immediately handled and had numerous great reviews from parents. Furthermore, I felt very welcomed during my two in school tours by myself and then again with my two boys. Ms. Guyatri was especially loving and the teachers had been their for many many years. All of the above reasons are why I chose Heritage Montessori when our nanny gave us a two week notice. However, I feel absolutely compelled to write this review so that ALL parents understand the importance of looking at the provided camera detail of the classrooms. Had I not done this, my oldest son would have continued to be singled out and mistreated by Nimmi Gudavalli, the Elementary class teacher. On our first day, Nimmi was at the front desk and was immediately surprised when we told her that our son was going to be in her class. She was not at all welcoming or friendly. While I understood her surprise having not been told or having not met us since she was on a field trip during my initial visits, this was not a good representation for the school. From then on, I was told very rudely that my son's photo would not be put up like the other students because it was close to the end of the year and there would be a new teacher for the summer, and because she had heard my son wasn't coming back for the fall, among other questionable actions. Two days after my son started in Nimmi's classroom, I was granted access to view his room. And immediately, I was completely horrified by what I watched first hand. Despite their being at least 20 empty desks in the classroom facing inward toward the world map rug, my son was turned around facing a black refrigerator in a corner BY HIMSELF. For circle time, my son tried to join the other kids on the rug and when Nimmi came back into the room she made him leave the circle and sit back in the corner facing the refrigerator. I was livid. I immediately called Ms Guyatri and she also saw the video of my son in the corner by himself while all the other children and Nimmi were having class on the rug. She was stunned and agreed to immediately go to the classroom and get my son out of the corner and have him with the rest of the class. The sad part is that had I not been watching via my phone, I don't know how long Nimmi would have thought it was ok to single a child out, turn their desk around and put them in the corner as if they are being punished. Of course after meeting with Ms Guyatri I switched classrooms. To my surprise, Nimmi had already packed my son's things and put them at the door as if to say Good Riddins! Her excuse was she didn't think he would understand what they were going over during circle time and would be distracted. In other words, there was no good excuse for singling out 1 student and making them feel like they weren't part of the class and putting them in a corner. She had met my child 3 days prior and had assumed he wouldn't understand and felt her actions were appropriate. As a so-called teacher, this was beyond unacceptable and she and Ms Guyatri were told as much among other things as any parent could imagine. Ms Guyatri tried to say Nimmi was stressed, but honestly if stress causes a "teacher" to mistreat a child then they no longer need to be a teacher. No child deserves the treatment my son went through during his first 3 days of school. And women like Nimmi Gudavalli are the reason some kids get off to a bad start not having a loving, nurturing, inclusive environment where they are encouraged and pushed to become their best selves. I really write this long story short to make parents aware of the need to monitor their children, ask questions and always speak up when you see something that is not right. After all, while Heritage is a far cry from what I was paying for a full time nanny for the past 5 years, I'm still spending my money and am entitled to better.
