Young Minds Montessori Preschool, Leander | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My sister reached out to this school regarding availability for her 22 month old. During the tour we noticed this location does not appear to represent Montessori. Little to no information was given regarding the kids schedule or what activities the kids do each day. They have a Montessori hour which honestly isn’t standard. I didn’t notice any collaborative play, hands-on learning nothing. It honestly appeared to be a regular daycare, nonetheless we were going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

However, today she spoke to a very rude individual advising there is no space and they cannot take him. Based on my experience with Montessori I have never encountered staff that were rude/disrespectful. I am honestly shocked with how the representative behaved.

I’m not upset there isn’t any space I’m disappointed the way the representative handled delivering that information. This individual didn’t have to be rude when in reality they were in the wrong. If we were told initially there isn’t any space we never would have gone on a tour. If the tour was scheduled in error admit your mistake it’s that simple.

At this point it’s honestly a happy error, I couldn’t imagine having my nephew attend a location where the staff respond so poorly when they are in the wrong. I can only imagine how the children are treated on a regular basis.

We absolutely love Young Minds! Our oldest began attending the school in 2013 and only stopped attending when he began kindergarten this year. We watched him grow so much in the time that he was there! He began attending knowing his colors, basic counting to 20 and knowing the alphabet song but not really able to identify all the letters if asked. When he left he was able to read most of the level 1 books that we have at home (with some assistance with bigger words), he was writing many words, knew the continents (!!!!) and had so much more confidence in himself.
The entire staff at Young Minds is amazing and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door, which makes it easier on the kids and the parents!
And we love Young Minds so much that our younger son (2) just started attending and we will keep him there until he is old enough for kinder. He absolutely loves it and is so eager to go to school every day.
My wife and I are so very thankful for the amazing owners and staff of Young Minds and will be forever thankful for all they have and will do to prepare our boys for kinder and beyond!
We HIGHLY recommend this preschool. Best one in the area by far!

Young Minds Montessori is one of the best Montessori’s I have known of. Both my kids have been going to the school for over a year and a half. We have seen tremendous growth in my kids both in terms of academics and independence/social behavior. Sending our kids to YMM is one of the best decisions my husband and I made. The teachers and the staff are very warm, friendly, and high experienced who are truly vested in child’s development and progress. In addition to the regular Montessori curriculum, the school has also partnered with many different external clubs to provide paid extracurricular activities to the kids through the week. Both my kids get super excited to go to school each morning and share all the stories with their teachers and friends. I highly recommend YMM to anyone and everyone seeking new school for their young ones.
