We've been really happy here. Our son has been in the toddler classes for almost a year. I appreciated that the teachers and management acknowledged that the class he started in was a little young for him and transitioned him to another class. Ms. Sandra was such a sweetheart to him when he started that it only took a couple of days before he was looking forward to going to school everyday. One thing we're grateful for is that there is no screen time. This means that we have control over what our son sees, and we don't have to wonder what he's being exposed to when we're not around (this wasn't the case at his last daycare). The structure of learning encourages exploration and provides a way for the children to be fully engaged even when their on slightly different levels. We find that the tuition is reasonable especially considering the quality of care and education. We've experienced great communication with the teachers and staff. It started early and is ongoing. Ms. Jackie contacts us immediately with even the slightest concerns (our son has allergies). She's been extremely helpful, even watching our older child so that we could meet with our son's teacher. I also think it's wonderful how she knows all the kids and so many of them insist on giving her a goodbye hug before they leave. She has a calm, steady, and loving nature about her that is so good for the kids. Reading some of the other reviews, I understand where some can get the impression that Ms. Jodi is cold, etc. and the culture is different. I'm inferring that they're referring to the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the teachers. I agree that Ms. Jodi could smile more but have found her to be very caring after getting to know her. It's taken some effort on our part, as parents, to grow the relationship with her, but being proactive is just part of parenting. For the teachers, we acknowledge that many of them come from very different backgrounds than us and encourage our son to cultivate relationships with them. This goes the same with the diversity in the children. We appreciate that even though our son is white, he is not in the majority at his school. I understand that this may make some uneasy, especially those who are comfortable being the majority and leave little room for growth in this area. Overall, we've been very satisfied having our son here. We even enrolled our daughter for the summer. read more

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. Let's begin with the administration. The owner is often dismissive, unprofessional, and at times openly hostile. While the school is marketed as "Montessori," it functions more as an unstructured daycare with little alignment to Montessori principles. Serious concerns include: Staffing: The school is consistently understaffed and over ratio, creating unsafe conditions for children and undue liability for staff. Health & Safety Hazards: Mold present in classrooms. Exterior doors that do not close or lock properly. Playground infested with ants throughout the mulch, yet children are still required to play outside. Broken or incomplete classroom materials. Air conditioning that fails frequently. Flickering or broken lights that pose fire risks. Broken cots, wobbly tables, and unstable chairs. Exposed pipes (until recently) that children could access. Baseboards coming off the gym walls with no repairs. Food & Allergy Concerns: Although one staff member works diligently to accommodate dietary needs, administration fails to communicate allergen risks to parents. Families frequently bring in egg and nut products, putting children with allergies at risk. Concerns raised to administration are brushed off to avoid "too many rules" for parents. Incident Reporting: Injuries and behavioral incidents (such as biting, falls, and fingers caught in doors--all occurring in recent months) are not consistently reported to parents unless a visible mark is present. Outdoor Policies: Staff are expected to take children outside in extreme heat (100°+), further endangering their well-being. Professional Conduct: The owner has openly referred to mothers as "insecure" and dismissed a crying infant in a meeting, later commenting to staff, "Isn't it more peaceful now?" Such remarks demonstrate a troubling lack of respect for both families and children. Recommendation: I cannot in good conscience recommend this school for employment or enrollment. If you have other options, I strongly advise seeking a safer, more professional, and truly child-centered environment elsewhere. read more

I highly recommend One World Montessori! My daughter has attended this school for the last 3 years. I am a kindergarten teacher at one of the elementary schools in Round Rock ISD. The children that feed into my school from One World are far beyond their peers in reading and math abilities. They come in with a very strong foundation in reading. The activities the teachers provide are not only are individualized and differentiated for different levels of learners, but they also offer choice with hands on learning. Their fine motor skill activities really help to prepare them for future writing and development. Another aspect that I enjoy is it is the screen free, low stimulating environment. They host many events throughout the year including Fall Festival, Mother's Day, Peace Day, parent conferences, and holiday programs. They celebrate different cultures and each child's birthday. The teachers are loving, yet foster a love for learning! They communicate with many pictures and reminder messages on the Brightwheel app. It's so nice to see what my daughter has been doing at school all day. The staff working here love and care for the children. My husband and I looked at many daycares and at most of them the staff looked exhausted and not very interactive with the children. Here they are very involved with the children and are positive, patient role models, with smiles when you walk in. My daughter loves school and her teachers! Even the transitions to new classrooms have been so smooth. It was amazing to see how they can teach kids even at 1 year old how to sit in a circle and eat at a table. Also, it makes it easy on our family because they provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. I couldn't be happier with our choice to send her to One World Montessori. read more

As a former employee, I feel compelled to highlight the need for enhanced licensing oversight at this school. During my tenure, I witnessed non-compliance with licensing regulations and inconsistent treatment of staff by the administration. Some employees struggled with language barriers, leading to communication issues. This school hires non-professional teachers who do not speak English. I strongly advise against bringing children to this school or seeking employment here. The owner, Mrs. Jodi, focuses on financial gain rather than educational excellence, and her disregard for employee welfare is troubling. The absence of a comprehensive curriculum and unprofessional behavior among staff, who gossip in their own language, are significant concerns. The director, Mrs. V, managed employee leave ineffectively, leading to staffing shortages; she approves employees' PTO all at the same time. Moreover, the disparity in paid time off based on nationality is concerning - Indian teachers are entitled to two weeks of PTO, while non-Indians or other nationalities are only allowed one week of PTO. Personally, I experienced difficulties with incorrect compensation, which took months to rectify. The school's reluctance to invest in educational resources and maintain facilities is also concerning; Mrs. Jodi never invests in new toys and materials for her teachers' classrooms, which I find to be very cheap. Again, I wouldn't recommend bringing your children here. It's not a real Montessori School. The owner only uses the name Montessori to attract and encourage parents to enroll their children and make money. For job seekers, if you want to be treated fairly, I don't recommend applying and wasting your time and efforts at this school. read more

We LOVE One World Montessori! Both of our children have attended OWM. Our youngest joined since she was 10 weeks old and worked her way up all the way through 6 years old, graduated Kindergarten, before she moved on to First Grade elsewhere. And my oh my, was she prepared beyond! All these amazing teachers have been pouring so much love, care and guidance into our children (and all other students) that help them grow internally, at their own pace, develop character, and growing connections while having so much fun together! And best of all, confidence. An independent confident child who feels safe because the structure and consistency the environment (school) offers, can grow without fears and think for themselves, speak their mind, tap into their own potentials, and is less dependent on reassurance from adults. Our children are happy and confident, and were able to communicate well, read and doing multiplications by the time they left. We are so grateful for Mrs.Jodi and the amazing team of educators for helping our children every step of the way, to grow to their full potentials over all these years Thank you One World Montessori for creating such a safe and strong foundation for our children to build on, so they can succeed in life. We have only good things to say about this place. You can clearly tell that the teachers who do this job with a passion, love their calling, their contribution to the children's development, in the clean fun work space they have created, and have been working there for years. We wish One World Montessori continues to grow, attract and keep the passionate teachers that we have seen over these years, and that other students may experience the same level of care that our children had. read more

My son has been at this school since they opened (for about a year) and I have nothing but love for this school. It has been a wonderful learning environment for my son. He is thriving at this school. I have been amazed at what he is able to learn. I would have never thought he could learn about geography as a two year old. What! We have had no problems with staff or management. In fact, the main problem is I have trouble leaving because so many teachers want to say goodbye to my son before he leaves. I feel so good knowing he is loved. I know montessori is not a great fit for every child and it is important to understand what is the best learning style for your child. Education is a focal point of the montessori method. I recommend researching what it is and what to expect. I have had numerous talks with the owner (Jodi) and she is willing to share her expertise and experiences with children and their learning styles. She has always shown concern for the children in her school but is also is very straight forward, which I appreciate. As for her staff, I cannot say enough to praise to give them the proper credit. All of my sons teachers were properly trained and you can see they really care for the children. I feel I can always ask questions about his day and get a full report. I am always greeted by Jackie with a smile and hug for my son. I see her make this effort with almost every child that walks in the door. She is the heart of this school and makes this school feel like a second home. She always has an answer for all your questions and will offer a listening ear. read more

I just read the review and would like to clarify that the information shared is not accurate. From my personal experience, things have always been handled fairly and professionally. I have been working with Ms. Jodi for the past 12 years, and in my experience, the rules have always been applied equally to everyone. Please know that Ms. Jodi takes all feedback seriously and is fully committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and high-quality environment for both staff and students. Regarding the curriculum and classroom resources, we continuously review and update our materials to align with authentic Montessori principles. Each classroom is well-equipped with a wide range of Montessori materials, and we actively welcome suggestions from our team to further enhance the learning environment. The director Ms.V manages employee leave requests fairly and consistently. While staffing can sometimes be challenging, she has never refused a PTO request and always does her best to accommodate everyone. Every employee-regardless of nationality, whether Indian, American, or from any other background-receives the same one week of paid vacation. It's important not to spread incorrect or misleading feedback, as it affects the reputation of people who are working hard to create a positive space for children and staff alike. read more

We have three children ages 3, 2, and 1, and we couldn't be happier with One World Montessori. From day one, the school has given us tremendous peace of mind and confidence, which is essential when you're leaving such young children in someone else's care. All of the teachers at the school are amazing. While we would especially like to mention Ms. Vivian, Ms. Marcela, Ms. Annett, Ms. Sami, Ms. Maria, and Ms. Andrea, the truth is that the entire teaching team is wonderful. They all show so much love, patience, and dedication, and it's clear that they truly love what they do and care deeply about each child's individual development. A special recognition goes to Mrs. Vaishnavi--she is warm, professional, and always willing to help, making the entire process much easier for families. The environment is warm, safe, and educational. Our children are happy, are constantly learning, and come home smiling, which for us says it all. We wholeheartedly recommend One World Montessori to any family looking for a trustworthy school with strong values and an exceptional team. Thank you very much OneWorld team!! read more

This school is a joke. I worked there for years and the last time I was there in January I decided to give my 2 week notice, Mrs Jodi the owner wanted me to lie to my parents about my leaving. She told parents I was going to have a surgery and would be back. There is no way I would ever go back after the way she treats people when they decide to give a notice. I gave my notice because she felt I was not "working" to her standards after so many years. The last 3 years I was there I never had any complaints with parents in how I would teach them. She also wanted me to come on here last year to make a fake account and post a "good" review that she would pay me for, which I did not do! I was not planning on doing this but she knows why I am. Treat your employees with respect and pay them when they decide to give their notice. I could go on about her but I'm sure if you take your child here or get a job here you will find out for yourself. Hope everyone has a great day I know I will. read more

One World Montessori School has been a wonderful experience for our family. The school values diversity and provides an inclusive environment where children learn not only academics but also respect, kindness, and cultural appreciation. The teachers are warm, caring, and dedicated to the children's growth. We have seen such positive changes in our child's independence, problem-solving skills, and love for learning. The classrooms are welcoming, and the Montessori materials encourage hands-on exploration and creativity. What stands out most is the community spirit. Families from many backgrounds come together, giving children the opportunity to experience and appreciate different cultures and traditions. This diversity has been such a positive influence on our child. We feel grateful to have found this school and highly recommend it to other parents seeking a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment for their children. read more

I am very impressed with this Montessori school. The management is excellent--organized, approachable, and always attentive to both students and parents. The classrooms are thoughtfully prepared with high-quality Montessori materials that truly support hands-on learning and independence. The school is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, creating a safe and healthy environment for children. From the moment you walk in, there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes families and children feel comfortable and valued. The staff are dedicated, patient, and deeply committed to each child's growth and development. They show genuine care, encouraging children to explore, learn, and reach their full potential. Overall, this school provides a nurturing and enriching Montessori experience, and I would highly recommend it to any family looking for the best start in their child's education. read more

I cannot recommend One World Montessori daycare enough! The staff is truly exceptional in their dedication to the children's education and development. They take a hands-on approach and actively involve the children in important life skills, such as potty training and helping us in daily chores. My son has thrived under their care and has become a kind, talkative and creative child. The structured education includes a variety of creative activities and the school provides high-quality educational toys for the children to learn from. I trust the staff and Ms. Juju completely and the school is operated seamlessly under her leadership. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child. It's truly a gem in the community and I'm grateful to have found it for my two children. read more

I dont understand the bashing of this school coming from former employees. Why is it that when you work there everything is fine no complaints but you get written up by licensing or let go then you want to point out all of the things that are in non compliance being done. As a teacher if you see something you report it to your employer if nothing gets done then you report it to licensing. So if teachers saw non compliance issues but said nothing then what does that say about those teachers or that one. People tend to go write nasty reviews when they have been fired or let go from a job. That's just being petty or malicious. Because up until then they must have been ok with working there with no complaints to anybody . Im just saying. I have had nothing but great experiences with both locations read more

My son goes to OWM for a year from now and we have been extremely happy with the positive and loving environment at OWM. Most of the teachers are kind and caring and the current teacher for PreK-Veda is very good with kids.Jackie who sits at the front desk is the biggest asset there and she is always cheerful and helpful.The place is clean and maintained well.Its a new facility where some of the rooms have yet to be opened up.They have good learning aids for the kids and the food seems to be decent.This is also very close to our home(Highland Horizon) and pickup and dropoffs are super easy.The price is reasonable for what they are providing and I recommend for any family who needs care for their loved ones without breaking their bank. read more

I have had my children at both campuses and I have the up most respect for the director,Jodi, and the entire staff! My son attends the infant room and the women are the most loving and caring teachers! My daughter is in the toddler room and personally, as a teacher, I knew what I wanted and the type of environment I wanted my children to be in while I was at work and the teachers and curriculum exceeds every expectation I had! My children are able to thrive in a safe and loving community. As a mother there is nothing else I could ask from them! The campus is clean, the staff is friendly, professional and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children! They truly love all the children as if they were their own! read more

Very impressed with this school and wouldn't change it for the world. Our daughter goes there since she has been 4 months old and us as her parents can see how much they care, not only for her but also for other childrens, given the amount of joy our daughter shows everytime we drop her off, definitely a very positive and pleasant environment to drop off your kids at. Furthermore, we have noticed a significant progress in our child development over the past few years, which is also a true testimony of the certified staff they have in place is very good. This is definitely a daycare that I will recommend to other parents to take their children to. read more

One World has been so good to our daughter for the past year. Through many struggles (eating, shyness, stuttering), they have worked closely with her to help her make personal progress. Ms. Jackie especially is excellent and really makes an effort to connect with each and every child. Tuition is very reasonable compared to other high-caliber schools, and the facility is state of the art and always impeccably clean. read more

They fire employees without reason. Send them home to be jobless without notice and refuse to tell why. I'm available via text if you'd like to inform me why I will be homeless if unable to pay rent in about two weeks. read more
