Arbor Montessori Academy 11726 Jollyville Road, Austin, TX 78759

"I could not speak any bad of Arbor Montessori Academy, this school is super amazing! Our son has basically grew up with Arbor Montessori, he started his journey there when he was just learned to walk. We feel this school as great fit for our kid since the beginning we toured the facility with Tammy. We love their huge outdoor area, educative programs and how the teachers put lots of thoughts in the lesson plans especially during pandemic. We could see how our kid grew up to be confident and independent boy! Also thumbs up to Tammy who has been very responsive and flexible to our requests and questions."

"My son started Arbor when he was 2, which is summer 2020. During time of covid, the school follows covid policy very well to keep the school safe and clean. My son barely got sick in the past couple years, which is definitely amazing for kids this age. The teachers help kids to make sure they eat and sleep well based on each kid's need. When my son had trouble taking a nap, the teacher tried and figured out a way for him to nap well. As to learning, the school follows Montessori approach for kids’ education, we can see how much our kid has learned and grown when he is at Arbor. The teachers are always friendly and patient with kids, and the school director is also very friendly, helpful, and very professional. We are very happy and thankful our kid can grow up here."

"Before Arbor, our daughter was overly dependent on her mother and often shy towards others. Once she began attending this school, she quickly relaxed into Arbor's atmosphere and blossomed into her own with the help of her teachers. She has since then learned to open up to socialization and has made many friends at the school. Every day she developed a stronger confidence due to the practice she put into learning her math and reading. There is no doubt that the nurture she received has boosted her self-esteem and will prepare her for her transition to kindergarten. The positive structure of Arbor and the wonderful teachers are perhaps the greatest assets there, though it benefits from many other qualities such as minimal staff rotation, good management, a strong community, and an emphasis on family. We are so pleased by how much our daughter has grown and we credit those at Arbor as her leading early mentors."

"We love, love, LOVE Arbor Montessori! Our son started here when he was around 3, and it's always been such a supportive, inclusive and positive educational experience. The teachers and staff go the extra mile to ensure the children have engaging lessons and resources, as well as a healthy amount of fun. The outdoor space is *amazing* and one of my favorite elements of the school. The kids get to eat outdoors when the weather is nice, as well as participate in many outdoor learning activities and crafts. The director, Tammy, is always helpful and prompt to respond about any questions or concerns. Once COVID hit, the school quickly pivoted to remote learning and have been super communicative and understanding of the needs of individual families. They continue to support those of us keeping our kids home with take-home learning packets and Zoom lessons each week. I would highly recommend Arbor to anyone searching for a new preschool to call “home” for their kids."

"When I was looking for a Montessori for my 1 year old , I was looking for a school with the least teacher turnover rate, clean, structured, lots of playground to play, diverse and I wanted to send her food as she was allergic to a most basic food that was provided in other Montessori. After visiting 10 schools and being dissatisfied about one thing or the other, Arbor Montessori checked all my list and more. That was 5 years ago. She has been going there for summer school as well. She is still going there. If you ask my daughter, her best part of the day, she will always say it is going to school. Except for the first 5 days ( when she started at 18 months old) she has never once  said she does not want to go to school. The teachers are wonderful, very supportive and love the kids . Their teaching style and structure is full Montessori approach and they are always ready to talk about the kids progress.  They teach multiple languages, science, math,  basic house chores, fundamental etiquette of mannerism . They teach the kids to be responsible and active as well. I have recommended my friends to send their kids here and they have. I am very happy with this school and I will be sending my second one there as well once she starts walking on her own. Looking forward to another half decade with Arbor."
