A Wonderful Experience for Our Boys
We’ve had such a positive experience with Cinco Ranch Montessori daycare!The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. Our 2 boys absolutely love going there and come home every day talking about the fun activities, story time, and new friends.
What really stands out is how clean, safe, and well-organized the facility is. The teachers are very professional and provide regular updates and photos, which gives us peace of mind throughout the day. They’ve also been great about helping with milestones like potty training and social skills.
I highly recommend Cinco Ranch Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional childcare environment. It truly feels like an extension of our family.

My daughter has been going to CRM since she turned one. We have truly had the best experience ever. I was so nervous for my daughter to start daycare because she was previously at home with my mom for her first year. I had researched Montessori and knew that was the route I felt passionately about. I had also previously toured some other schools.
When I had my tour with Jessica (the director) I immediately felt at peace knowing it was the perfect school for my daughter. Even though it came at a higher price point in comparison to some of the other schools. However, I FULLY stand by that you pay for what you get. The facility is wonderful. They have continued to make upgrades throughout the few years we have been with them.
Another stand out is the tenure of the teachers. These are teachers who are well invested into the lives of your children. We have even gotten to know several teachers who were outside of my daughter's classroom just because they do such a great job of co-mingling. My daughter has also excelled in comparison to other friends children around her age that go to other schools. She's truly learning and being developed. As well as learning how to work both independently and alongside her peers.
I'm truly sad to be moving on and for her to be starting public school in the fall. However, we plan to continue spending our summers at CRM and getting to see some old friends and our favorite teachers! I truly couldn't recommend them enough!

This is an amazing school. They have a camera system in place that you can see kids on real time. The director, administration, teachers ... really everyone is amazing. Its super bright , nice sized classroom too. The door has double locking system, so it puts extra security for the school! Our kids teachers have been in the same school for 25+ yrs which is beyond impressive. The director is very involved and would visit classrooms often as well.
Also, this school isn't super strict or rigid about small things, which I found very very nice as well. (Ex. My kid needed small stuffed animal for comfort for his nap time)
My kid has been really enjoying going to school and im sad we have to leave here because we are moving to the different state. I recommend this school 💯 (and I toured almost every schools in the area + had unsuccessful with 2 other schools prior to enrolling to this school)

We will deeply miss Cinco Ranch Montessori — from Miss Jessica’s warm smile to Miss April’s kindness, and the dedication of every teacher and staff member. From the very beginning, I always felt like part of a family.
When Sophia started 2 and half years ago, she was so small and didn’t speak English. But with Miss Meera and Miss Crystal, I never once felt worried leaving her in their care. Thank you for being like second parents and giving her such a beautiful start.
P.S. I truly appreciate the consistency at CRM — seeing the same caring faces every day means so much.

Our daughter was in Ms. Meera and Ms. Crystal’s class. We were truly amazed at what she learned and achieved. It is clear that her literacy, numeracy, and science skills developed considerably under their guidance.
Ms. Meera and Ms. Crystal not only focus on academics but also emphasize the importance of good manners, respect, and politeness.
We are well aware of the effort they put into each of their students, and we are sincerely grateful to them for going above and beyond to inspire every child in their class.
We are so pleased with our experience that we wholeheartedly recommend CRM to all our friends.

We would like to sincerely thank Ms. Meera and Ms. Crystal for the love, care, and guidance they have given our son, Leon, during his time in Classroom 5 at Cinco Ranch Montessori. Our son has not only learned new skills, but has also grown in confidence, curiosity, and kindness. We truly appreciate their patience, dedication, and the positive energy they bring to the classroom each and every day. We’ve highly recommended Cinco Ranch Montessori to our friends. We are also deeply grateful to all the school staff, who have been consistently positive and supportive of our son. The entire environment has made a lasting impact on his development. As Leon graduates from the school, we carry with us all the joyful memories you have helped create. The foundation you’ve built during these early years will always be remembered and deeply appreciated.

First, I have to admit the price is relatively high among all Katy care centers.
When my elder daughter needed to go to daycare, we chose a cheaper center which I considered good enough: she made friends there, learned things, and had fun. The only concern was teachers switched so frequently (once per 3-4 months) that I could not even remember all teacher’s names.
Then it was the time my younger daughter needed to go to daycare. My wife was a bit concerned as her development seemed slower than her sister at the same age. After discussions, we decided to try CRM following lots of positive feedback from our friends, and met Ms. Meera / Ms. Crystal. Even since then, I started to learn that some care centers can keep good teachers longer than other, some teachers care about kids’ development even more than parents, some classes can make learning progress more fun than others--in addition, my daughter receives the warmest greetings by Ms. Maria every morning. After 2 years in CRM, we have no single concern on her development, and enjoy seeing a polite / well-behaved little lady every day.
Again, the price is relatively high among all Katy care centers. But I consider the quality worth every cent I paid, and would like to recommend to all Katy parents.

We absolutely love CRM! All three of our kids attended, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The administrative team is outstanding. Ms. Jessica and Ms. April have always been accommodating, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile. The support staff managed the school like a well-oiled machine!
Our children adore their teachers Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Patti and Ms. Cristina, who’ve helped the kids become excellent readers and have shown remarkable growth in STEM subjects. Even more importantly, we’ve seen them blossom into confident, independent learners. They have not only been well-prepared but have also progressed beyond the kindergarten curriculum.
CRM has truly exceeded our expectations in every way!

It has been a great experience at Cinco Ranch Montessori for both of my daughters. The environment is warm and welcoming. The teachers are very dedicated, experienced, and caring. Some have 20+ years of teaching experience! Ms Jessica, who is the director, has done a great job to keep the facility well-maintained, safe and engaging space for children to learn and play.
Both of our daughters have spent years here and we are grateful to have been a part of this wonderful school community.

The Cinco Ranch Montessori provided such unique and spectacular PK experiences for my daughters. They have developed socially and academically during two years stayed there. The staffs are helpful and supportive. The room teachers we had were Mrs. Meera and Mrs. Crystal. They took good care of my kids. Built so much confidence and leadership in them, that they will be able to walk in a new environment not being afraid. Our time went by too fast, and life has to move on. We will for sure miss this place! Thank you all for everything!

We moved to the Katy area in the year 2020. I was eager to tour the school having been raised amongst a family of Montessori educators. The school appeared clean and looked inviting. It was explained that their teacher of many years was no longer teaching at the school due to Covid. We met the friendly new teacher who had taken her place. The experience started off on a positive note. Then, the conversation with the director took an unexpected turn. She started discussing my accent in a negative way. She mentioned how “ strong “ my accent was several times. Her exaggerated body language that went along with her statements was interesting. I have never encountered this reaction. It was ridiculous. I was born in American. I speak the way natives do that are from my area. It has never been a hinderance. I was shocked by this reaction since people of Katy come from all over the world. I have also lived all over the world and I was surprised at such narrow- mindedness. The director mentioned that she was where I was from originally but she “ lost “ her accent. She seemed to make her perception a focus. In my opinion, she came across as being pretentious and a bit immature. Completely lacking awareness.The young director spoke about herself more than talking highly of the school. Meanwhile, my pre-school aged children just wanted to feel welcomed in their new environment. I continued to remain polite despite the undeserved disrespectful behavior.We have early readers and they were eager to attend. I wanted my children to have nothing to do with this school due to our experience with management who came across as judgmental. Our children are thriving! I am happy that we decided on a high quality private school who makes their students feel welcomed. If management treats a parent this way in front of their children, I had to wonder how they may treat students who they may perceive as an outsider. Director would benefit from training to help sharpen communication skills. It seems having this soft skill would be essential to success in this type of leadership roll. The level of professionalism is night and day at our chosen school. Look around!

We love Cinco Ranch Montessori. Both of my kids have attended this school and the love and care they have received here has been unmatched. The teachers and staff are seasoned and they truly care and focus on bringing out the best in each child. Every child is heard!Every day they each child is greeted by their name at the door and once they get to the classroom. Lunch is served fresh everyday with organic options. There is a strong sense of community and my kids have made lasting friendships.We love our Montessori classroom.

Our son attended Cinco Ranch Montessori from age 2 until his graduation at age 5. First, he was in Ms. Kim's class and then moved to Ms Cecilia's class. Throughout, we were impressed by the level of progress he made and the positive interactions he had with the other kids in his classes and with the teachers. We've seen a few other daycare centers, and in our opinion, this one is a level above. They truly showed a personal interest in his development (academic and social), a willingness to communicate with us as parents, and a sense of community during the tough months of the pandemic. To this day, our son prefers fruits and vegetables to candy - which is certainly not the case with his sibling who attended a different program! The Montessori approach is different, and it helps to be able to 'lean into' or reinforce it however possible (e.g., by asking your child to help with dishes at home, etc). But CRM is also special for its international character and for the feeling of family that they try to foster.

My son went to CRM from age 3-6. His teachers were Ms. Meera and Ms. Crystal. Words cannot express how much we loved this school and the dedicated staff. My son loved going to school everyday and learned how to read/write/do math before 1st grade! Ms. Meera and Ms. Crystal are so kind and caring. They genuinely go above and beyond for their students! I also want to say as a first time parent I constantly worried about my child’s safety (sometimes too much), at CRM I never felt more safe and the staff are always in touch. If you have an opportunity to send your child here please do! You will not regret it!!

Our son Bailey has attended Cinco Ranch Montessori (CRM) since he turned 3 years old and he just graduated kindergarten last May. This review is long overdue and we can’t thank Ms. Meera, Ms. Crystal and entire team at CRM enough for their dedication, care and love. Our son not only loves to go to school, he adores his teachers and friends. He also thrived in reading, creative writing and math, all thanks to his teachers Ms. Meera and Ms. Crystal. We can’t wait for our daughter to start her journey at CRM in 6 months when she turns one.
