Couldn't be more pleased with the school

by nutsgougou

My child started at Pflugerville Montessori School shortly after she turned 3. During the last two years, she has learned and grown tremendously, all because of the wonderful teachers at the school. My daughter just turned 5. And she is reading at 2nd -grade level, doing math at the 1st -grade level (doing 2-digit addition, subtraction, some multiplication and division, skip counting as well) Her geometry knowledge is more than mine. She writes jounals about events that happen in her life. She knows a lot about the world around her, including geography, nature. She has learned good manners, pracitcal life skills. I have been teaching at Texas public schools for the past 10 years and I am amazed at the the progress my daughter has made under the care of the school. And during the last two years there, I know my daughter is not the smartes one in her class. I have witnessed more amazing accomplishment on my daughter's classmates. The school feels like a big family. Everybody at school, from certified teachers to teacher assistants knows my daughter's name, even most of them don't teach her. They truly care about the kids. I don't live in Pflugerville, but I researched, visited, and observed several Montessori schools near my home. I eventually chose Pflugerville Montessori, though it is a quite drive from my home. I am glad it has proven to be an excellent choice!

Extremely satisfied with this school

by dsdmom

My child has been at this school for almost 2 years. He turned 4 recently and he can practically read and do simple math. He has also learned great social and practical skills. At 2 1/2 he knew all of his continents and could find them on the map. My son has loved each of his teachers there. I like that the school is small and each of the teachers knows each student. They teach at the individual level and readily address any concerns a parent might raise. I have recommended this school to many of my friends and would do it again.

• Pros: Wonderful school.

THIS IS TO CLARIFY THE REASONS BEHIND THE FEBRUARY REVIEW

by 1pflschool

Pflugerville Montessori School is a well established and reputable school since 1987, with a highly qualified staff. The review above is simply from an upset parent who's child was biting and hitting fellow classmates as well as his teacher. The staff worked tirelessly in helping the child and meeting with the parents on a regular basis, discussing the behavior issues. In addition to that, upon the teacher's request the child was tested by a professional and recommended to attend suitable therapy to aid in the management of these problems. However, during the school year the behavior issues continued and the other children were getting hurt. So, the school had no choice but to protect the welfare of other children by asking the parent to take the child from the school.

Our School is commited to providing the best Montessori experience your child will ever have in his/her academi, social and emotional childhood development. The actions taken by the school in the above explained case are a testament to such commitment. We have a large number of reference parents who will happily share the unmatching positive experience. Please call for references.

Sincerely,

-The Director
