Shining Stars Montessori School

"Amazing school. We have 2 kids over the span of 3years attend Shining starts and I am so thankful that we found them. Ms.Vino and staff are wonderful. Our kids learn so much and are proud to share their new accomplishments. Highly recommend this school."

"Shining Stars has provided a safe and happy environment for our son’s transition from home life into school. The Montessori approach is ideal for him; he shows it each day by his eagerness to go to school (despite not being a “morning person”) and by his happy chatter about classroom events. We really like the personal touch of this school - the owner/director Ms Vino is so good with the kids, and she and the teachers are all very competent and experienced at calmly handling the emotionality of young children. The staff is also very responsive to direct communications with parents. Text messages and requests for in-person discussion get quick attention, so it really feels like we have an educational and childcare team on our side. We have watched our little boy grow by leaps and bounds both socially and academically, as his natural curiosity is nourished at Shining Stars. If you are looking for a great and happy start to schooling, Shining Stars checks all the boxes!"

"We love our Shining Star Montessori school. My daughter attends this school from past 2 years and she has grown academically, her social skills have flourished and her communication has been really good. Principal of the school- Ms. Vino has a lot of knowledge and is very experienced. She is very positive, kind and calm- exactly the person we need in our fast paced lives to handle our kids. She has provided love and care during COVID times and we cannot thank her enough. Teachers are really good too. They go above and beyond to help my daughter and welcome her every day. They are part of our family and an amazing village to help raise my kid. I would also like to emphasize how clean the facility is and how well organized things are. The newly built playground is a bonus too. Highly recommend our school to others."

"Highly recommend this school to others. From the moment I met Ms. Vino, her knowledge and experience, spoke volumes. The caliber of teachers at Shining Star is outstanding. Ms. Amanda and Ms. Slava have gone above and beyond to welcome my daughter in the toddler class. It's truly a group effort, all of the teachers lend a helping hand with the students. In the past few months, my daughter's language, communication, and social skills have flourished. A testament to the nurturing environment of the school, as well as the kindness and level of engagement from the teachers. The school is diverse and incorporates education and understanding of different cultures and customs. The layout of the facility fosters exploration and curiosity in little ones. The playground is a huge plus. Something I have not come across in other daycare facilities in the area. With such great weather in Austin, it's nice to have a safe area for the kids to play in year round."
