Castle Hills Montessori

Posted: October 13, 2022

My daughter goes to this school and my overall experience is good so far. Entire staff at school is very welcoming and they are all up to the speed with any kind of questions / concerns you have with anything. Have received prompt response for all my queries. Best thing is my daughter loves it and she is happy. I can see her grow a lot in past 6 months.

Teachers are engaged in the students learning process.

Posted: December 11, 2019

My children have good manners and have good vocabulary that has been taught by teachers.

Teaches are encouraging children to speak in class and complete show and tell activities.

I see visual and auditory learning strategies that are in forced in the classroom.

My children have not dealt with any bullying in the school. Staff and students are always kind.

My overall experience has been wonderful. My children are growing and learning new skills everyday. The teacher interaction is always pleasant and very informative. I’m always kept up to date on what is happening with my kids. I feel they are in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment.

My toddler does not have homework. However, information is sent home everyday on the activities that were completed.

Low turnover for teachers. They put much effort in the children’s leaning and helping them grow into leaders.

My children started at this school when my son was 3 and my daughter was 18 months. My son is now 9 and in 4th grade. He completed up to 3rd grade here and then moved to a top rated public school. Even so, He is still well above most kids his age and is advanced from his time at Castle. My daughter still goes to Castle as she is in 1st and she reads at a 3rd grade level. The amount of time and effort spent with my children at this school is amazing. All the teachers there know my kids by name and treat them like their own. The curriculum is well above public schools in the area and also the classes have low student to teacher ratio. My daughters class has always had a teacher and an assistant which explains why the kids get so much one on one time. I can't express how much I appreciate what Castle has done for my kids and in 1 year our newest little one will start there. The events they have are so fun. They are open to all types of cultures and also offer a vegetarian menu which I find wonderful as I am a vegetarian. I've toured and visited many schools around and this has by far, been my best decision.

Great learning experience and one of the best preschools in the Carrollton area

They understand what the kids need to learn and implement it in school curriculum. They start learning how to do book reports using PowerPoint in first grade.

Their teachers are nurturing and passionate about teaching. Teacher #1 Mrs. Traci.

Montessori teaching is not just focused on academics, but also on teaching the kids how to be a better person. They teach the kids to respect each other, have integrity, and be compassionate. Kids learn to be independent and to be a thinker.

The Leadership is great. They take the time to know the kids as well as the parents.

Posted: January 20, 2019

They have one on one teaching. They take the time to know each one of the kids so they can adjust to their needs.

Posted: January 20, 2019

They teach them not to be a bully and to be respectful. My son’s teacher didn’t tolerate it.

Posted: January 20, 2019

Excellent school. If you are looking for a school with great academic results, nurturing and a lot of fun. I recommend Castle Hills Montessori.

The teachers are amazing at this school and really take the time to get to know each child and help them achieve their learning goals. The leadership of the school is also great in that they take time to listen to parents should any issues arise and actively try to sort out any problems. I highly recommend this school.

Reading the comment about teachers trained in Pakistan makes sense now... I was very puzzled to learn one of their teachers who I personally know is not an accredited Montessori teacher or with an Education background. She doesn't aplly Montessori in her home. It's as if they're just handing out jobs. I'm not enrolling my child in such a school, I have a background in Education & find this to be a slap in the face. It leaves me to question who are really taught in the philosophy and techniques by Montessori. If you want an authentic genuine traditional Montessori experience, this is clearly not the place. I have experienced some of their activities and it does not resemble a respectful caring Montessori environment.

My two of the kids went to this school for an year, I will rate them as a acceptable as nothing good is available in the area which meets all the aspect from my requirement. Some of the experience I had with this Montessori

• The front staff is not good at all most of them have a robotic face where you can not build a familiar relationship ( kind of walmart vs World’s Food Market …Lol)
• Most of the teachers are trained in Pakistan or few are still under required trainee period to get certificate in Montessori teaching , the owner may be doing it for cost saving and I am not stereotyping it here but I feel this should be mixed and match here so that kids can get both side of system in a better way.
• As teachers never went to the school system here, they may not be able to train or prepare your kids well for public education for KG.
• Most of the teachers are focused on Academic aspect, but young age focus should be more on social behavior and other aspect. So if your kid is having some behavior issue then this school may not do well. I have seen several of parents withdraw their tough kids in the middle of the session. The teachers as well are not trained enough to handle this aspect. As I am also immigrant and I know how they used to correct behavior problem and those rules cannot be applied here.
• I was attending one of the function in the school and one incident just threw me off the way teacher were giving food to the kids, at this tender age we show love and respect so that kids behavior can improve but I just keep my mouth shut as I don’t have an option.

I rate them acceptable and if you have better option then please go for it.

Our experience with CHM has been exceptional. CHM offers a wonderful environment that fosters a love of learning and encourages curiosity, while helping our children develop a sense of responsibility, understanding, and independence. Our goal for our children was for them to stay curious and for their love of learning to continue to grow as they do. We want the sense of understanding and independence that has been embedded to serve as the baseline for our children to become responsible and caring adults. We chose CHM because of the small class sizes and an approach to teaching that we found beneficial to our children s development, both academically and socially. We would highly recommend CHM to our friend, family and co-workers. Thank you.

We have been very happy with Castle Hills Montessori. My son started there when he was 2 and he is now very well prepared for all the private kindergarden school admission tests, interviews, etc. The school's emphasis on diversity is a big plus - weekly classes in Spanish, Chinese, International Week activities, diverse students and faculty, etc. And I especially like that the music program is not just singing but also includes lots of instruments and learning to read music. Excellent curriculm and early learning - not a day care by any means.

Mrs. Traci is a superb teacher! This is my son's second year at this school. He is now in the third grade, and we are already devastated that we'll lose Mrs. Traci after this year, since the school does not go beyond the third grade. She makes every day in her classroom different and challenging in fun ways, motivating and rewarding to my son and his classmates, even though they all range in age, knowledge and interests. She identifies specific opportunities that each child needs to work on at their current level of progress, so you can clearly see that she knows and cares about your child. My son feels loved at school and he respects and adores Mrs. Traci. She also teaches them manners and talks about various values that one would only hope their children would hear about in school. And she lives those values in the class every day, making it so much more effective for children to follow and apply. The school itself is very bright and neat; lots of fun events; all staff is great, caring and respectful. It's the Montessori experience at its best! My son loves it and his knowledge and skills are now at one full grade level above his friends attending third grade at other schools!
