What learning style is better suit my kid? The Montessori way of getting messy and learn through play or academic based programs that focus more on pre-literacy and math…or both? Is there any way to weave in academics, but still appeal to children’s interest at age three or four? These are the very first questions that I got when looking for school for our son until I found The Woodlands Montessori.

At The Woodlands Montessori, children are exposed to selected learning toys which helps stimulate their brains on math, art, science, literacy and geography… The class is organized in such a way that older kids could help younger ones. This allows the older ones re-enforce and own what they have learned and the younger ones learn from their peers. This also helps with creating teamwork and communications. I appreciate the fact that kids are introduced with self-help activities at the very early ages like setting up table, cleaning up after themselves… This helps them build their responsibilities and appreciations for others. I can just go on and on about the benefits of Montessori concepts.

However, what we love most about the school is the fact that the teachers are always strive to form a strong bond with the kids. They pay close attention to each kid and have frequent communications with their parents, which makes it easier for us to follow and be hands-on with play-based activities with our son at home. Besides all the year round activities, during summer, teachers also introduce extra STEM experiments and fun non academic programs to the kids. We love the fact that our son always come home in excitement and ready to learn more!!! He even teaches us new things we’ve never heard off!!

I can never praise enough about this school, the teachers, about their cares and what they’ve done to prepare our son academically and socially. We love The Woodlands Montessori and are happy to find it for our son. I highly recommend them with all my heart.

My child attended this school beginning at 18 months old until four years old. We had great teachers and experiences until a few months ago. Our only complaint was lack of communication from the last teacher and that we should not have to pay an extra fee for communication. Then our child started telling us she did not want to go to school. We noticed staff turnover and that the person in charge of preparing the meals would replace the teacher in the classroom. This person was/is not a certified Montessori teacher. Our child was verbally bullied by another child in the classroom and we also suspect by the the lady sent in to “watch” the children. Our daughter would call herself “fat” and tell us she was a “bad girl.” The director also seemed unprepared to deal with typical situations that should have been handled without hesitation and professionalism but instead placed blame on our daughter. The facilities are not the greatest conditions for the costs associated with the school. Our daughter is now in a wonderful school where they understand the importance of early childhood and how to teach children. Our daughter was recently elected as student of the month and she has regained her love of learning and self-esteem. There are plenty of good reviews for this school but be vigilant and question things you see are not right.

Me and my wife cannot say enough good things about The Woodlands Montessori. My daughter attended this school for more than two years and our experience with the whole staff (Director, admin team, teachers) has always been very positive. It might sound cliche, but it is true for this school: the staff here really care about the kids and the families, and you can see that when you drop your kids, when you get updates, when there are updates or the usual tiny issues.

Even while the 2021 freeze they had damage in the kitchen, they arranged to have the kids temporarily into another school for two weeks while fixing the facilities.

In particular Ms. Chan is an amazing teacher, she goes above and beyond teaching her students and preparing them for real life, not only pure academics but other important topics such as respect, kindness, and setting boundaries with other kids when needed. She worked with us and provided continuous feedback.

We feel our daughter has made a great progress and we always left her with great peace of mind, knowing she was being taken well care of and educated. And, ultimately, that is the most important thing you can ask from a school. We’d give 15 stars if we could.
