OWM is a wonderful school! We love all of the teachers and staff who have cared for our children. It's hard to find such a diverse, close-knit and loving community that nurtures all the children who walk through the door. We are grateful to OWM!

So, were new in this school. but i already have the idea how's Montessori teaching is to the kids. i've read every comment and i do understand every parent concern and experiences. so far my son have started since AUG.3 he was supposed to start since april but due to covid and us moving in a diff area it made me push back. but so far things seems going very well with our son. i've never seen him happy and excited to get up in the morning at 7am for a 2 yr old. just to go to school. on top of that ive seen a lot of diff in him, even before i've started molding him to some kind of learning at home. he shows a lot of interest in learning, his a quick learner and very observant. on top of that we do follow up skills on him every after end of school week like weekend. to see if he remembers all the things he learn in school and he does. I dont know all the staff yet pretty well ive met some, but never got the chance to meet them personally and get to know them. hopefully that will come soon. but for the most part i like them. i know if something is not right about someone, my son can see and feel the same way. so far no signs of anything which is great! so im glad that his enjoying this school, and learning quick and hope it will stays that way. looking forward for all the adventures of my son in OWM. and im glad that they always sent me updates and pictures of his progress. in that way i feel ease that everything is ok.

Both of our children have been at OWM since they were 6 months, starting in November of 2015, and we have had a fantastic early childhood education experience here. The teachers truly are, they love the kids, and we have seen so much developmental progress. The pre-K kids are beyond Kinder ready when leaving OWM. We also formed a great community among the amazing other parents and kiddos with birthday parties weekend after weekend.Over the years there was turnover with the administration at the front, and the current Director, Angelica, and Assistant Director, Janee, are an incredible team. We are lucky to have them!In 2020 OWM has handled the re-opening of the school during the COVID pandemic really well given the challenging circumstances. Their detailed emergency preparedness plan is constantly updated and communicated to parents. We truly love the diversity and community at OWM, and are sad to be leaving here as we move to a different part of Austin.

hi, was just let go and wanted to speak about Ms.Jodi and her "perfect school" mmmm where do I start well as an employee we should at least get talked to with respect but no every time we speak to her she always I mean ALWAYS raises her voice at us but to "her" she is not. She also likes to hide whats going on at her school there was an incident were a teacher pulled out the blanket from underneath the child's foot and caused him to hit the corner of a shelf and had a huge KNOT told the teacher to change up the story and she proceeded to try and erase the footage if it wasn't for licensing showing up a month later the parents would of never known what actually happened to their child. I wonder what other things SHE IS HIDING FROM THESE PARENTS. When it comes to asking for raises she had told me I would get a raise for sure at 3 months , when those 3 months came she told me "no, I got you guys insurance you guys should be happy with that" so I was like whatever after a years and a couple months later no raise but I was already expecting a no. She doesn't even pay us overtime. It hurts her so much to give us raises Ms.Jodi has a brand new TESLA LEXUS and other luxury cars but yet can't pay her employees or give them a raise. The only reason why I stayed there to work was for my babies they always made my day. But good luck with Jodi she really only wants your money. She charges thousands of dollars just for your child to have the same breakfast almost every day and lunches would be the same way. Cant even buy new buggies for the infants both buggies have multiple straps broken that can cause a child to fall off but they have been like that ever since I started in may of 2018 and aren't going to get fixed any time soon. Sorry this review is just everywhere just had to spill the tea on what really goes on at One World Montessori.Oh and also I dont know what ms.phoung got in return for that review from jodi but Ms.Dolly herself texted me saying that jodi bribed her with a raise to write what she wrote and i have evidence which I myself will send her(Jodi) through Text Msg.xoxo,Ms.Daisy

I am now a former employee because I was WRONGFULLY fired. The owner thinks it’s okay to talk to employees in a rude manner and if you disagree with what she’s assuming about you then she will threaten you with either a write up or termination. Being the ONLY African American there I felt as if I had a target on my back. Glad I got out of there while I was still new. Worst owner I’ve ever met.

Hello,I just wanted to address Ms. McCormick's review. She was let go of because of poor attitude and was not able to meet the standard of care that I hold for all of my teachers.Thank you.

My journey of 5 years in Owm was awesome. It was my very first job in Austin,Ms.jodi and Ms.suma were so kind to me, stood by me, supported me a lot all these years, I have learned a lot of good things from this school as a teacher,Ms.jodi and Ms.suma use to greet everyone in a very professional way with a smile, I joined the school as an assistant and then the school supported me and encouraged me to do my certification in Montessori,In three months I was made as a lead teacher for transitional classroom, Ms.jodi and Ms.suma supported me a lot as a teacher, they always listens to our request and make sure what they can do to make us happy, we really do have a good resource in this school, even if u need something for the class ms.suma provides us immediately, not as a teacher even as a parent I had wonderful moments with the school, My kid joined owm when she was 2 years old , her journey in montessori made her shine so beautifully, it's only because of the effort of the teachers,ms.suma, ms.priyanie and ms.deepa.she was blessed to have such good teachers.I am not working anymore in OWM due to personal reasons but the school had given me beautiful memories with loveable parents and kids. My best job ever.

I feel very strongly to respond to Ms.Daisy's review.She was an assistant in my room and she used to call in always the last minute or no calls at all.she was upset because she was let go,I strongly disagree with all the acquisition.I have been here for 5 years and there have been no chances for Mrs.Jodi to raise her voice at me.When you do your job perfectly there is no need for the management to be harsh at you. Mrs.jodi is highly concerned about the kids,parents and Teachers. she already quit the job previously and Mrs.jodi gave her two chances but she was not faithful to use it.

I am here to respond to Ms. Daisy’s acquisitions.I’m wearing 2 hats (parent & teacher/co-worker) and both will show that her response to being “let go” is just a false flag.As a parent, I love my child’s environment, and her teachers. And sure Ms.Daisy is sweet & caring. It’s the least skill/ qualification you should have when working at this school. But that’s about it, I don’t think my child could learn anything from her as she has shown to be incapable of keeping an environment safe and clean. She dresses improper (showing off too many cracks and skin) and ditched the children and teachers, way too many times!As a teacher/ co-worker, there are many things to mention:Jodi & Suma are great administrators, who are trusty and will give you chances to get your act together. Ms.Daisy has abused that trust with her team, by always coming in late, calling in last-minute or even stay out w/o notice! Expecting the team to cover up/ fill in, for the lack of her responsibilities. The team questioned and was not happy when learning about her being hired again. But she would do as a floater, and even that was too much for her...Calling out that you will send Inspection investigate, every time you disagree, shows how immature you really are. You have wasted the inspectors time, and everything is just fine.Last and not least, there are many teachers who have been here around since it first opened its doors 10 years ago. Some come and go. Some who go, come back. And prior to starting here, I’ve worked and looked at other schools. Now, I’ve been around 5 years and I’m not planning to go anywhere. Like many teachers who have been around, we are happy with all that school has to offer.

I think a lot of the bad reviews on here may be related to some clerical issues. They have since made some adjustments to the staff to prevent these types of misunderstandings from happening again.Our 4 year old daughter has been going to this pre-school for about 7 months. Since starting at One World Montessori she has learned a great deal of things. She loves the staff and enjoys her time at school everyday! This school will definitely prep your child for Kindergarten. They offer a great deal of extracurricular activities throughout the week.

We LOVE One World Montessori! I can tell my son is loved by all the staff. They also have a great curriculum for the kids. He has learned so much from this school. It is nice and clean and they send you a report through an app daily. I would recommend this school to anyone in the area.

Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience with this school. We were told by email and in person in January that they had a spot for our daughter to start in September. We were told we only had to put down $150 deposit to hold her spot. We emailed in June to check in with the school, and over a month later (and about a month till our daughter was supposed to start) we received an email stating that we no longer had a spot in September. No apology, no attempt on their end to fix the situation, no details on when we would have a spot. Just a vague suggestion that perhaps their other branch might have a spot.Considering this was a major screw up on their end they should have at least called and tried to figure a way to fix the situation (rather than emailing me on a Friday at 5). After emailing them back telling them that this was unacceptable, they responded that the deposit was not a guarantee for a spot (definitely not what they communicated via email and in person previously). This seems to be a pattern judging from the other reviews, which I wish I would have seen before I decided to give this place a try. Waste of $150 and more importantly a huge waste of time and unnecessary cause of stress and drama during my paternity leave.
