If you are an intentional family that really cares about your childs growth and well being then I…read morewould definitely suggest enrolling them into Willow Montessori Academy. Let me start off by saying in the short time that I have had my daughter enrolled into Willow has been nothing short of a great experience. She has grown in so many ways. The freedom, independence and the learning has had impact on my child in a positive ways. All of the staff at willow are truly doing amazing work. Huge s/o to Ms. Pooja and Ms. Sophia in the primary class. My daughter talks about them when she comes home everyday. You ladies are amazing. Thank you Ms. Barkha for birthing an amazing foundation at Willow Montessori Academy.

I want to be very clear that this review is not directed toward my son's teachers. London's…read moreteachers (Ms Emily & Maria) were wonderful. They were loving, patient, communicative, and played such a positive role in his development. We are genuinely grateful for them and will miss them. My issue is with the director, Barkha, and the way leadership handled concerns involving my child. My child was attending Willow for 5 months. Barkha refused to meaningfully meet with us to discuss her reasoning for holding my child back in Nido as an 18 month old, despite this being an important decision directly affecting his development and classroom placement. As parents, we simply wanted a professional conversation, clear reasoning, and an opportunity to understand the decision being made about our son. Instead, the communication we received was dismissive, unprofessional, and condescending, all conducted through WhatsApp, which is the only platform the school uses to communicate. Rather than approaching the situation collaboratively or with care, Barkha's tone and handling of the matter made us feel unheard and disrespected as parents. Furthermore, she was adamant about receiving Nido tuition and once we put a stop on tuition in order to get a conversation held, she terminated our child (this is not the standard policy). What is most disappointing is that the teachers created such a warm and supportive environment for London, but the administration's conduct did not match the quality of care being provided in the classroom. I would strongly encourage any parent considering this school to pay close attention not only to the teachers, but also to how leadership communicates when concerns arise. In our experience, the lack of professionalism, transparency, and willingness to engage in a meaningful conversation was unacceptable.

The Carlisle School was truly the foundation of everything I've achieved. It was there that I…read morelearned my letters, how to play chess, and--most importantly--how to think critically and believe in myself. One incredible teacher in particular didn't just teach me academics; she helped shape the person I am today. Carlisle gave me the confidence and curiosity to keep growing. After Carlisle, I continued my education at Christ the King, where I went on to receive three awards, then Ursuline, and now I'm proud to be at Fordham University. At every step, I've carried the lessons and values I learned at Carlisle with me. If you want your child to succeed--not just in school, but in life--The Carlisle School is where that journey should begin. It's more than a school. It's a place that builds futures. Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. Carlisle for everything!

The Montessori-style private school is the of the best kept in the DFW, particular the Park Cities…read more Truly. My daughter began attending the Carlisle School at 3 1/2 years old. With Mrs. Carlisle's intrinsically sound education with detailed, intuitive guidance, my daughter entered Armstrong Elementary School prepared for all schooling experiences beyond preschool, kindergarten years! We have enjoyed returning for summer instruction between the regular school year as well. The individualized manner of instruction including traditional/classic education with outdoor play, and balanced routine is something I simply cannot fully express other than stating the growth and maturity that I witnessed in my daughter was profoundly positive. Just a beautiful gift. God bless the Carlisle School! May it continue to cherish, shelter, and foster our young brilliant children for another 45+ years!!

This is the building where I learned to read and do math, a little earlier than most. My…read morekindergarten teacher was Mrs. McClure. My earliest friends and I traded Muscle Men, Garbage Pail Kids, MASK, GI Joe, and Transformers. We dug up bones in the yard. We pushed old tires around and pretended they were cars, playing Knight Rider. This building has a lot of sentimental value to me, and I would never forget it. The people back then, in that place and time, were real good, too. When I went there, this was both a grade-school AND a daycare. My Mom went to SMU, so this is where I went to kindergarten, but I eventually transferred to a suburban school in the far north Dallas neighborhood when my father remarried. I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I spent in this building, the kinds of friends I made there. Things were so simple then. I have warm, bright memories of those times.

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.

My son enrolled at Primrose School of Park Cities in January 2020. He has attended daycare/school…read moresince he was 9 months old and has never enjoyed a child care center like he does now. He loves going to school every day, he loves his teachers, and has made many friends. Prior to starting, I was concerned with his speech and some of his social skills but after 4 short months he has grown and developed so much and I believe it is due to the environment and curriculum at Primrose. Nicole is super sweet every morning when I drop off, and my son loves her yoga class! The school itself is very clean and the classrooms very clean, colorful, and organized. The parents and families are also very kind! Lastly, we are very thankful that Primrose remains open during this national crisis, as I am a single mom and an essential worker. If it was not for Primrose being available to care for my son as I work, I'm not sure what we would do. I feel safe and have peace of mind as Primrose has made sure to take all necessary precautions to be sanitary and protect the kids and staff!! Thank you Primrose.

My son has learned so much and has grown so much at the school. When he started, he was very sad and hated to leave us, but after about a week he was happy to go to school, hugged the teachers, and didn't want to leave. The administration is also awesome! Unfortunately, we moved back to Virginia. We wish we could have brought the school with us. It is definitely our favorite thing about Dallas.

My wife & I and our two sons bounced around Dallas-Fort Worth quite a bit during our sons' earliest…read moreschooling years, leading us to 4 houses - and 6 (six!) schools - in just a few short years' time. Looking back on our experience, there is absolutely no question in my mind that the 2+ years we spent with St. Christopher's were the best for not only our boys (now 5- & 6-years old), but our whole family. From the smart, personable, and observant teachers, to the diverse (international!) feel of the community, to the bright & welcoming atmosphere created by Becky and the front desk staff, St. Christopher's truly raised the bar for our expectations of a school & faculty. Prior to finding St. Christopher's, our boys had attended both Montessori and non-Montessori schools in the White Rock Lake/Lake Highlands areas, and they've attended 3 other schools (1 Montessori, 1 public, and 1 private) in Dallas & Rowlett since. Being a part of so many different schools (not all of which were bad, by the way!) has taught us to appreciate the "small" things (hygiene!, front desk friendliness, student diversity, parental involvement) as well as the "big" things (safety/security, curriculum, communication, caring & nurturing atmosphere). St. Christopher's gave us all of those things and then some. As parents, we always felt welcome, and we rested assured knowing that our children were being exposed to cool neat things (languages, art, etc.) and ideas by people who cared about them & their respective development (our boys are pretty different from one another!). When my wife & I finally settled down in Rowlett (20 miles east of Dallas), our biggest regret was that we'd have to leave St. Christopher's - and even then, we made the daily 2-hour commute until we couldn't take it anymore. If you have the opportunity to send your kids here, I truly can't recommend it highly enough. It's the best, most nurturing and inspiring school we came across. Best wishes to you & your family, and I hope your experience is as good as ours was! :)
