First let me say this is a bit of a long review so here's a summary-- I want to say a big thank you…read moreto Ms. Lisa, Ms Kiahna, Ms. Jade, & Ms. Leslie. This is a wonderfully ran, and wonderfully built school that truly provides high quality care for our children and believe me, my standards are very high (I try to be easy going about it lol but at the core of it all, I would never accept sub standard care when it comes to our children and frankly, neither should you.) Our daughter started at Cadence about 2 weeks after she turned 2YO and this is our first child so there were a few things at play here. 1. Due to COVID, she had not interacted with other children as often as we'd have liked and since she hated Gymboree, we thought she didn't want to be around other kids :/ 2. We had been her sole caretakers for two years so she really wasn't used to not being by our side every moment of the day. 3. Her nutrition, cognitive development, and social skills are things I think about a lot and was important that whatever daycare we chose did a great job in these areas. 4. Uh...did i mention she was no fan of Gymboree classes? She would sit on my lap the entire time we would go and we went for 3 months straight so I thought she didn't like organized leaning environments for some reason. So I thought a daycare would be a difficult transition for us. However here's what actually happened. Ms. Lisa was excellent reaching out and ensuring all my questions and concerns were addressed. Through our conversations, I could tell the kids and their learning environment were the priority. On the first week, our daughter cried (as expected), but her teachers Ms. Jade, and Ms. Leslie were so warm, kind, and attentive right off the bat that she would calm down soon after we left the room and in the 2nd week, she only cried once. Third week? She was walking in by herself!! Here's what I'm seeing...it took a child who had minimal interactions with other kids/adults 1 week to adjust, stop crying, and begin playing with other kids. she may not have been home with us, but she felt safe and secure to adjust so quickly, and THIS is of utmost importance to me. I also want to give a HUGE shout out to Ms. Kiahna -- she would readily check on my daughter to see if she has settled in 5-10 mins after we left and let us know she is either doing fine or still settling in or sitting on Ms. Jade/Leslie's lap. She was always honest too lol and I loved that I never got a generic answer. Honestly, this is a kind trait that I truly appreciate. Also Ms. Brooke who is the new teacher seems so pleasant, and lets me know how my child did when I come to pick her up, without me asking. I REALLY appreciate it, because it tells me she pays attention to each kid and who doesn't want that. I just think the people hired here are exceptional. Nutrition is important here and it's balanced. One time, when it started getting a bit cool outside, they served turmeric chicken, pasta, and oranges :) and if you are unnecessarily into nutrition like I am, you know turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory/antioxidant for cold weather so I was pleased to see the thought and care they put into their nutrition. And yes, I so love that they send you pictures of their activities, play outside, nap length of time and what they eat throughout the day. This school gives what it is meant to give and much more and we are beyond grateful and happy this is where our daughter has begun her educational journey :).

Thoughts from a CPM graduate: I attended CPM from 1st grade…read morethrough 5th, I will graduate high school in 2026. To say I am grateful I went to Cedar Park Montessori would not be enough, this school impacted me in so many ways, it allowed me to embrace my creativity, ask questions, learn to share and pay attention and ultimately blossom into who I am now! I read once in a book, something along the lines of "If you're taught wrong in elementary school, you'll be trying to catch that train for the rest of your life." Through my experiences at other schools, they teach you very uniform, everyone is learning at the same speed and you are taught that raising your hand just makes the lesson longer, nobody likes a teachers pet or a goody two shoes. Whatever you do... Don't challenge popular beliefs, you are taught to follow the system. CPM is quite literally the opposite, you are encouraged to look at things differently and ask "why?" I used to question "why does this math problem even work?" And at CPM, I was greeted with an actual teacher who wanted me to understand not just pass. It's a smaller more personal learning environment where instead of memorizing you actually learn!!! And its at YOUR pace, not the kids next to you, when you first grasp something it's beautiful and at CPM that feeling was honored by teachers and staff, at CPM the reward isn't it in the candy it's in the understanding. I learned how to love learning at CPM. This is my greatest strong suit; being able to find joy in seeking knowledge. Thats my favorite takeaway. After CPM I went to a public middle school, it was a bit rocky adjusting, not only to the education system but because Montessori kids are so much more emotionally aware. But by having good roots and being taught morals young, I was able to choose my path, I didn't fall into the wrong group, and to this day I've never given into peer pressure, (I know very few teenagers can say that!) and not to toot my own horn, but, im aware that my maturity level is higher than many of my peers because of my early education. I can't thank my parents enough for choosing CPM, truly, one day, I wish to give my child the education and opportunities my parents gave me by enrolling me at Cedar Park Montessori.

I would rate them 10 stars if I could. They are somehow a best kept secret! The teachers and staff…read moreare incredibly caring and provide a structured and safe place for our children. We talk to fellow parents who have had horror stories from other childcare options nearby and they say we are so lucky that we found St. Philips first. Another mom attended as a child and drives 45 minutes so her son can get the same care. The pricing is also amazing - they currently offer 2, 3, and 5 day options from 9-2. My daughter comes home and naps for 2-3 hours so the schedule works perfectly for us. There is not teacher turnover like at other places either. These women live in the community with us and have been teaching at St. Philips for years. My daughter is currently in Ms. Lee's class and she is an absolute gem. She sends extremely detailed weekly emails going over our curriculum for the week and topics to talk about around the dinner table. It makes me feel like I'm not missing out or out of the loop. She also shares her funny moment of the week and I love hearing stories about funny things our kids say to her haha. For an anxious mom, I also love that I can see hundreds of photos that they upload to our private shared Google drive. The amount of creativity that these teachers have is insane! They have turned the entire building into a railroad station and the north pole for Christmas, a massive candy land board game, and many many more. The art projects cover every inch of the room and it is such a happy place. My jaw literally drops when I see the pictures! My daughter tells me that she wishes she could go to school everyday. This was her first school experience so we were worried about her being overstimulated or overwhelmed in the beginning but literally the first day was the only hard drop off. On day 2 she walked in like a complete champ! I honestly wish we signed her up for the 2s class a year earlier! The potty training curriculum would have helped us! Haha I like that it isn't a massive facility where I feel like my kid could get lost (three 13 person classes). It honestly feels like a family and such a safe environment. I was also raised catholic, but am not religious now. I've been around those environments before that can be kinda toxic and this place is completely loving and inclusive. It is a small part of their curriculum so I wouldn't let that piece take them off the table if it is a concern. My daughter also surprises me with how much she is learning. Her letter recognition and sounds have really benefited from their curriculum and daily phonics song. Last week she said "pig....puh puh....pig starts with P just like my name!!" She also is really fascinated about the days of the week, months, weather, etc. so even though the socialization and emotional regulation are the most important facets at this age, she is absorbing information like a sponge. I'm so excited to send our other kids here.

I also love that they are able to do field trips to visit the retirement community across the parking lot from time to time. Overall, we could not have asked for a more loving preschool. Shout out especially to Ms Amala and Ms Anna for growing with my daughter as her teachers for multiple years!
