Hear From Our Incredible Families

Parents & Children Love Our Spring Cypress Center!

“They have best Montessori teachers and Traditional teachers you could ask for! The teachers interact with the kids well, they show them so much love.

CANDACE HOLLOWAY

“This school was bought back in August of 2008. I would recommend this school to anyone. My four children attend this school, and they love it. The teachers are very inviting and seem to love the children very much. They keep the children very busy with different activities. I have never picked up any of my children and found them sitting in front of the TV. In fact, the director told me there is not a TV in the entire school. They also have certified Montessori instructors in the Montessori classrooms. You should go take a tour of the school and let your heart guide your decision. (I did.)”

Anonymous

“The staff in the infant rooms are super nice. They are working on getting my little one ready to sit up and they are always so cheerful. They also make little crafts with them and send them home with us to celebrate the holidays. I couldn’t ask for a better experience for our family. Miss Patti, Ashlynn, Selemawit, Brittney, Ignacia, and Dasha are just the best!”
