Castle Montessori of Frisco

I can’t say enough about this school. Having a 3−½ year old that is speech delayed has been a challenge. When our developmental pediatrician suggested we pull our son from his daycare early last year and enroll him in a Montessori I was extremely anxious, how would he adapt, would he be sad, angry, happy. So I researched every Montessori in the area. I met with Julie to tour the school and I have to say she is the warmest, most nurturing, loving person I have met. It immediately put my mind at ease because if she was that great with me my son would have no issues. He started the school the following week… did it take him time to adjust-​absolutely but he had caring teachers every step of the way. He’s since become very comfortable! He runs in every day to class and makes sure to even tell everyone «bye» as we leave. The time that Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Julie, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Connie, Ms. Suzy, Ms. Starr, and Ms. Christina have invested in him and his development have been life changing. I can’t thank this group of amazing women enough. I also refer all of my girlfriends looking to start Montessori or switch their kiddos to check out Castle Montessori-​Frisco. A+

Like another reviewer said, I wish I would have found this place sooner. If I built a daycare, it would look like Castle. Now, I can only speak for the Frisco location. While we were there (my sons left in June forSummer and then Kindergarten), we had an excellent experience. The facility was always clean and in order. It never smelled like urine like most daycares. They close very few times a year. The staff was excellent at communicating. They even called me to tell me my son wasn’t acting like himself one day. I’m so glad they paid attention and then called me! Communication between teachers and parents was wonderful. They did some amazing craft projects. My son was always coming home with an actual project, not just a page he colored. They studied and then attempted several different forms of art. The playground is covered and there is a large covered area outside so they can still get fresh air on hot or rainy days. The ratios were low and I never saw an exception to that. They offer a lot of exposure through Cultural Week and various other activities. They do a bicycle ride for juvenile diabetes. I was so impressed with how this school operated. It truely was a school and not a daycare.

So far it’s great! I love their attention to detail. The daily sheets are very thorough. They offer a lot of activities free of charge, such as Spanish, Chinese, and music classes. The classes are small and have low ratios. The playground is covered and there is a large gym. The library and music room are nice. They have a computer lab and my son loves computer time. I’ve stopped in several times at various times of day and there always seems to be structure and order in the classes. They don’t allow the children to watch tv, which is important to us. My son is happy when I pick him up everyday and he talks favorably about his day and his teachers. His behavior tells the real story. He is never grumpy after his day at school. His teachers are all Montessori licensed, one even has her Master’s in childhood development. The teachers communicate well, which we really appreciate. I just wish we would have found this school sooner.

My son attened this Montessori for about a year. At first it was great and then their staff slowly began to leave and they never seemed to be able to keep anyone. No one was helpful and the director would never return phone calls or emails. The last straw was when my son started to have changes in his behavior. Once I pulled him out and he started a new school everything was great! I wouldn’t recommend this school.
