North Austin Montessori School

"When I was looking for a preschool for my son Google reviews were crucial so I'm happy to share that we had a great experience at NAMS. Our 2 year old son was there for most of 2021, and I wish it could've been longer! He grew so much in that time, and even with the difficulties of COVID it make me so happy to see him participating and learning. Miss Laurie is just awesome, my LO still asks for her, she really helped him adjust to going to school and gave him all the extra support he needed. It was clear he was well cared for there, and I really appreciated their COVID safety... while most friends and coworkers have had regular closures of their daycare or preschool because of COVID we did not have a single case or closure while we were at NAMS. I loved all the art he brought home and all the different activities he did. It was clear he was learning and having fun. Definitely recommend, you can feel comfortable having your child here."

"NAMS has been great to work with. The teachers are wonderful and really care about the kids. This was the first place that my child has been in childcare, and they patiently helped him adjust to being away from home. I feel safe and happy trustIng my child to their care. The school is also conveniently located near the library and a park, which is a nice bonus. The classrooms were recently renovated, and are beautiful and child-friendly. I’m looking forward to spending several more years with them."

"We were extremely grateful to find this school. Our son previously hated going to daycare, but after we enrolled him in NAMS we saw a huge difference. He loved going to school to be around his friends and teachers. We could tell he really enjoyed his interactions with everyone, and he was being kept mentally engaged. We didn't just see improvements in his reading, writing, and math but also his social skills. We had experienced issues with high staff turn over at other schools, but that was never a problem here. If you live in the area and aren't able to look after your child during the day, they will be in excellent hands here."

"My husband and I have been so happy with the progress we have seen our son make since he has been at North Austin Montessori School. It has been such a joy to pick him up from school and hear from the teacher(s) what he accomplished that day and then see it happen again at home. I would recommend this school to anyone as they have completely surpassed my expectations. The teachers are passionate about the Montessori method of teaching and are wonderful at individualizing lessons for each child. Besides the basic teachings that I have witnessed, our son has displayed surprising manners. Other people in our sons life have commented on how well behaved and intelligent he is at his young age. The teachers make sure that we are aware that we are his "first" teachers, but we give most of the credit to the amazing teachers/staff at this school. We will be keeping him in this program for 3-4 more years and be sending our next son when he is old enough. Update 3/27/13: We have both of our sons at NAMS now. They both love it and we are so impressed with how they have developed through the Montessori instruction. The teachers are so loving and caring and we are blessed that they play such a big roles in our children's lives. The open house and parent - teacher conferences really help us understand all that our sons are capable of and it is always wonderful to witness. The staff is always readily available for discussion about our children and any of our concerns. They offer great advise and guidance with the common trials and tribulations of raising a 2 and 4 year old. I would highly recommend North Austin Montessori School to anyone with young children and who are seeking alternatives to a typical day care. I couldn't be happier about the choice we made in sending our children to this school."

"My daughter started attending NAMS when she was 3. We saw immediate improvement in her communication, manners, and behavior. She is now 5 and loves her school, her environment and her teachers. My son just started attending last month, he is now 15 months old and we saw similar results. He is using more words, already holding a spoon correctly, and doing great socially. We looked at many school before choosing NAMS. We have been pleased with the education, and caring that both of my children receive. The children gain independent thinking and their creative habits are encouraged. I plan to keep both of my children here through first grade. I love knowing that my children are getting the education, and love they need while I am at work. I highly recommend Montessori and especially North Austin Montessori School. My only feedback for full time working parents is the amount of time they have off during the year."
