Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Best Montessori school in my experience. Since we have been there the teachers have been very professional, the director always available, the diet always healthy and curriculum very impressive.I went to school for child development and did my internship in other montessori schools but Coppell Montessori was by far the best. I would definitely recommend to more families.

The strenghs: The director and teachers encourage parent feedback in an attempt to improve the school environment and learning for the children AND they implement many of the parent suggestions. The school hosts "informational night sessions" for parents to attend to explain and demonstrate the Montessori methods being taught to the children.

The weaknesses: the teacher/student ratio could be smaller (typically 1 Montessori teacher and 1 assistant to 18-20 children)

My child went there from the first day until she graduated to the public school. I recommend this school to everyone. My child went to another Montessori school earlier and I can compare. I was surprised how well CMA communicated with their parents. Most of the teachers have years of experience and the Director was there to answer every concern or question we had. I know they have a wait list for all their classes because my younger is in the wait list.

My child has been in this school for several months and although it is brand new, beautiful and the director having come from a Montessori background herself, I am very disappointed in the teachers, communication, training, etc. The teachers do not seem happy to be in this environment, there is little parent involvement, they move children around with advising up front of the possible changes, and the director is very cold and unaware of many thing that go on in the classrooms. I also have never felt they are welcoming of me to drop in and check on the class. And because they have a training program there are many teachers that come and go and have never been properly introduced. I am planning to move to another Montessori nearby and can only hope the owners of this very new school in Coppell make the necessary changes to make this a better place to bring your children.

Parent #5
the director is not reliable or friendly. very rude at times, but i believe that is her nature and you cannot change her character. other times she is kind.

Parent #6
no clear respect for the child. we now feel that it was all a business decision by the schools to have these kids there.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
