    My son is finishing his first school year in the Toddler Class with Ms. Erica. My son absolutely…read moreloves Ms. Erica and has flourished at the school. Ms. V and Ms. Lala are dearly loved by him as well. I am so happy that we found this school. I cannot recommend this school enough. I love walking into the door and being greeted by Ms. Monica and Ms. Katie. The teachers and staff of this school are so supportive of the kids and parents. When we were going through a remodel due to Hurricane Harvey, the staff and teachers supported us during this difficult time by helping my son adjust and understand. We were even able to let him attend school on some days he otherwise wouldn't have due to Spring Break (we were on the school schedule, not the Full Day). Additionally, there are many opportunities to learn more about Montessori education at the after school seminars they offer. During the school festivals and parties, you can see just how strong and welcoming this school's community is. We have had a blast at every event. They are constantly improving the grounds and school equipment. Just recently, they added shade pavilions over the playgrounds. The indoor and outdoor areas are always spotlessly clean and tidy. I love the outdoor play areas; they have many green spaces that invite children to look around and play. My son is enrolled for the next year to attend in the Primary Class and we are so excited to see what he will be doing next!

    It is with great disappointment to give this negative review because my son was hurt emotionally at…read morethis school. Teacher Ms. Aparna was harsh, rude, suspicious, and even openly discriminatory against his race & gender. She talked down to him assuming he did not understand when the adults' behavior was wrong. But he did and he told us verbatim things that were said to him, including "Ms. Aparna is not happy with me." Furthermore, during nap time my son reported the Aide hit him and other students with pillows if they were not falling asleep. She also would wake them up by hitting them on the face with wet paper towels. When I reported this and requested to observe the live feed video from their office, Director Ms. Monica and I both saw these actions taking place during nap time. The owner met with me and watched the recording with me stating this was against company policy. However, like what Director Ms. Monica said, she reiterated that "the two staff members had been working there for years and she would just need to train them better. They do not let their employees go which is why they have had them in place for over a decade." Can you imagine these abusive actions happening to your own child? Would you call CPS? I was so devastated, I could not bare that process and just took my son out of the school. I caution you, do pop up visits, ask questions about the staff and the accountability from their managers when inappropriate adults behaviors take place. My son recovered after going to a better school and is now thriving but keep in mind, yours might not. Don't take the risk!
