RedRose Montessori School

"I have nothing but great things to say about Redrose! My son loves going to daycare, teachers and all staff are amazing"

"My kids attended red rose for a couple of years and for the most part we really liked the school and staff. That said, I felt that the first 1.5 years with red rose was probably the best and that the experience declined as time went on. The first 1.5 years my kids went there I got really detailed daily reports on both of my children and my son was more than ready to attend kindergarten after being in Mrs Kelsey’s class. My daughter loved Mrs Hillary’s class and that class was instrumental in helping my child be potty trained by 2.5 years which I found super helpful. As we moved up with my daughter to the older classes the daily reports that used to be so specific were shortened to a sentence or two. On top of that, she started getting sick more often than she had previously and the class expanded to 26 kids by the time we left which I felt didn’t leave much time for guidance by the teacher. The nut free policy is now super restrictive in that even store bought cupcakes etc must not only be nut free but also must come from a nut free facility so even though our cupcakes were nut free from heb, nobody sung happy bday to my daughter bc of the above issue of heb not being a completely nut free facility. which kind of bummed her out. All that said, I think the main reason I removed my daughter was that she wasn’t as advanced academically as I would have preferred for a child that attended a Montessori school from the age of 2-4 years, couldn’t tell me what the letter A was for example when I asked her. As an aside, I was also overcharged for about 5 months and only caught it On my taxes. I was refunded 600 dollars by the facility after much follow up on my end but had I not caught it, I would have been paying more than I was supposed to. Again, we really liked red rose at the beginning but the last year was not as impressed as we had been initially which is why I gave it 3 stars. Edit: in response to your response, a couple of things. Your school was always nut free which I have no issue with. However, it became impossible with the new restrictions stating that store bought goodies had been to be from completely nut free facilities which is new and was not communicated at any tour. Regarding the payment, I was in constant communication with your facility and not the other way around. I was always asking for an update or resolution on my end. Honestly, I showed proof on my end up front about the charges and the fact that it took a month to resolve was shocking considering the evidence and your facility tried to tell me that they had been charging me the wrong amount the whole time and that I should have been paying more as an excuse to not refund me the money. Lastly, stand by your teachers all you want but the quality of your services has declined whether you’d like to admit it or not."

"We have absolutely loved having our daughter at RedRose! She started around 18 months and we've had the best experience. The teachers and staff are wonderful and she has learned so much in the 4 months she's been there. Highly recommend!"

"Let me first start by saying YES! We love this amazing school. When looking for schools for your littles there are of course a whole list of factors that play into it. For us—the Montessori Program was working for our children—however NOT all Montessori schools are run the same. That was made evident when we switched to Red Rose Montessori. The staff is kind, the school is CLEAN, the emails are direct and informative and my children are THRIVING. I now have two sons that went into Kindergarten feeling prepared and ready. (Both reading and writing!) Another important note: my sons love school. As a former educator that is half the battle. I do not want my children viewing school as a drag or as a chore—-I want them to love learning—-and they do. It is not lost on me that the staff and teachers are helping to instill that love and instill that joy for learning. My children go to school excited to learn and come home giddy to tell me of their adventures and everything they did that day. I would recommend this school to anyone. I pass by two Montessori’s driving to take my children to THIS Montessori —-and it’s worth it."

"Red Rose has been the best decision we have made for our daughter. She was born just before the pandemic so she was not talking or socializing much and her previous daycare she did not see any improvement with that. We were recommended to Red Rose through a moms group and made the switch. Within just a couple of weeks we noticed a huge difference in her speech and confidence. She was smiling and happy to go to school every morning and LOVES her teachers!! We talk about Ms. Anelle at home a lot. She also loves Ms. Taj too. As a mom I have so much peace and comfort knowing she is loved and cared for at Red Rose and that it the best feeling. It’s always hard leaving your kids at school when they are young but they make it much easier because my daughter feels loved and welcomed every day."
