All three of our children have spent their preschool years at Tas Montessori & it has been such a…read morefruitful experience for each of them. When we initially "shopped around" for the best preschool atmosphere for our oldest, TMS was a standout. An open concept where children eagerly engage in learning, and a peaceful environment - we weren't seeing that anywhere else. The Montessori approach of respecting children and their individuality - truly working with children at a personal, distinct level that recognizes where the individual child is developmentally. We saw this approach work positively at TMS with each of our three children whose approach to learning & personalities differed greatly. Over the past 10 years, we have seen each of our children grow an eagerness to learn and develop socially. The environment Ms. tas - then Ms. Lindsay & the wonderful teachers & staff foster is is such a positive one - our children always looked forward to going to school each & every day. Beyond the Montessori curriculum, there is truly an effort to make well-rounded learning both fun & engaging. A quick scroll thru the TMS Facebook, gives you just a glimpse of the learning & fun the children get every day. We always stayed fully informed about our children's day and could rest assured that they were in good hands. Our children have each completed their time at Tas Montessori well prepared for Elementary, and arguably more advanced than their peers of the same age.

He was justifiably scared and has continued to be for the past week. We've found him a new school and one of his new classmates had experienced a similar experience with Ms. Mirza. She also regularly lies to cover up for licensing investigations and deficiencies. I reported her to The Department of Family and Protective Services and The Department of Health and Human Services Child Care Licensing division. They came to our home and interviewed our son. Please look at all of their licensing infractions/deficiencies before you register your child here. You can find them at: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Child_Care/Search_Texas_Child_Care/ppFacilityDetails.asp?ptype=DC&fid=325461 The owner/director is physically inappropriate with the students, has a tendency to fail to follow and meet the minimum care standards, and lies about even incredibly small things. She also broke HIPPA by freely discussing students' difficulties and family specifics with me during a meeting I set up to discuss concerns I had due to comments both of my children made with regard to inappropriate discipline techniques, shaming students, and making threats. Some people at the school LOVE her but I wouldn't recommend placing your children in her care.

My children went to ELC and they loved it. So did I, because they learned everything they needed to do well when they went to school. They are both doing so well. If you are concerned about a program, drop in unexpectedly for a tour and see if you are welcomed. Again, this program is NOT SPCAA Head Start.
