Sugar Creek Montessori of Katy

My son started attending 3 weeks ago (Transition, 2.5 yo). His teach Ms Shubha is wonderful, such a dear to speak with. I had called her once to advise there was poop all of the back of my sons knee when I picked him up and she was very responsive and assured me she’ll get the message to whomever changed him. I just attended the Parent Teacher Night and I loved how informative it was, explaining all they’re teaching him, e.g., they are teaching them the phonics, not the letters (since they already know them). I would have had no idea had they not held this meeting. The part that excited me the most was that the teacher was a legitimate Montessori certified teacher, not all Montessori schools can say that.
The fee’s are quite exorbitant but I guess that’s to be expected in Katy? There’s a 2x/​yr supply fee of $ 95, a registration fee for about $ 185 and half a months deposit.
They have hot lunch at $ 3.75/meal and pizza on Fridays for $ 1.50 a slice (I could be off a bit on the $$). My only pet peeve is they don’t have refrigerators and they use a microwave to warm up the food. I think I am just accustomed to the prior Montessori school we used where they’d refrigerate all the food minus the warm entrée which we sent in a thermos.
The assistant director was very kind to us when we came in, we occupied the last Transition spot they had (we just moved here from MD), we almost missed it since the gal on the phone said they were all booked up and I explained I was disappointed I wouldn’t be able to place him in a Montessori environment, she proceeded to ask the Director if there were indeed no spots and that’s when she discovered we had ONE left, yay!
I’m beyond excited that they’re opening a location on 1463 and it’ll be a 3 minute commute for me by next year!
I’ll update my review after we’ve completed an entire semester.

I previously posted a one star negative review (lowest available) due to a misunderstanding on my part in regards to the withrawal notice. The representative of the school did an exceptional job patiently explaining the situation to me and it turns out to be our fault.
Both of my sons went to this school. I was really satisfied with the education my older son received from this school, from an excellent and caring teacher. When he first joined the school, he was not even English literate. After 2+ years in the school, he can read, write and communicate like a normal 5 years old (although did not quite appreciate him speaking English to me at home). Also as a result of this early training, he continues the tradition of reading and on average read at least one book a day. He is in first grade now. Even in an electronic age, we believe reading from books are still the most effective and positive way to learn.
As for our younger son, we withrew him earlier from the school due to his shortened schedule at the school and we felt a need for a change, especially for him.
As far as quality of education is concerned, i would recommend this school to my friends and family. Also strongly encourage current and previous parents to post here whether they agree or disagree.

One of the worst administration ever. They charge various fees without consent. They change schedule on whims and without notice. They speak very rudely and arrogantly with parents. I am not happy in dealing with them.
