Cedar Park Montessori School

This was our first Montessori experience. My daughter age 6 and son age 3 attended Cedar Park Montessori from Aug 2012 — June 2013. It definately exceeded our expectations. The staff has all been highly trained in the Montessori methods and the school goes through grade 6 (I think).
We pack our own lunches (which I prefer) so I can ensure my kids eat good food as do all of the children. No one is bringing twinkies and cookies in their lunch so everyone forms good behaviors (sweets aren’t allowed).
My 6 year old has never been in an organized pre-​school environment and she just completed her kindgergarten year. This morning, I asked her what lesson she was looking forward to today. Her response…“I’m really excited to work on the isocles triangle today”. Seriously. I am not kidding. She is also confident with basic multiplication and division and LOOKS FORWARD to getting a new lesson. She is easily reading most books and is confident in her abilities (which were all learned during the school year.
The teachers run a tight ship. The kids are happy. Seldom do I see meltdowns. The kids understand the rules and the boundries and the classroom is always clean and tidy.
I wish my home ran quite so smoothly. I highly recommend Cedar Park and/​or Sapentia (sister schools) Montessori.
Furthermore, although private school does have a cost, I find that it is actually less expensive to have my son in Montessori than private preschool with simple play time and no structured learning. The rates are also MUCH lower than in any other city I have found.
