This school is amazing! They teach our daughters Spanish, math, writing, reading, arts and crafts, and, most importantly, being respectful.If you’re a working parent that prefer your child have routine and rules to follow within your own parenting guidelines, this is the school for you. Our kids come home happy and I 100% attribute this to the curriculum and care provided by the staff.Lastly, if you are a parent that has survived childcare through the pandemic, then you understand the importance of what I’m about to say. This school never, almost NEVER, closes. They value working parent’s time, and we are so grateful for the provided care.They also have an annual petting zoo day, a Christmas special, and they’re very safe. Doors are always locked and they value family privacy. I am sure there’s more good I can say, but I am so thankful my kids have been here for the past two years.

Our daughters have been attending Joyous Montessori since they were toddlers. Mrs. Vandana and the entire staff care so much about their students and go above and beyond to give them personalized attention. Ms. Happy, Ms. Latha, and the rest of the teachers have potty trained both of my girls and my girls truly are thriving academically and developmentally. They love going to this school. Every morning when I drop off my girls to school, I am in awe of how clean and well organized the school is. I have even recommended the school to my neighbors and they love it too!

First let me start with the positives as I believe there are some at Joyous Montessori. Our child attended this facility for about 15 months or so. First in the infant care and then transitioned to the toddler classroom. She seemed to enjoy going to school for the most part until closer to the end of her time here. She was right at 2 years old when she left and I understand some of this is just how a child grows. She learned a LOT of stuff here. Colors, shapes, numbers, some letters, and her speech flourished. Definitely saw a positive change in her development. Now let's get to the bad stuff. There are several small gripes, but I won't include those as I think any place is going to be a little bit different here or there and you can't please everyone. What I will say is we always felt in the dark about what exactly what was going on at the facility. Just a general lack of communication. From what they were learning day to day to upcoming events and closures it was basically as little communication as necessary. The biggest issue I have is this place is unsafe for children. The facility itself seems fine, but the staff seems a little too distracted. I will be the first to admit that as with any environment with multiple children present there is the potential for things to happen. I think this is just part of life with kids. However, this place has several deficiencies. For instance on May 16, 2023 my wife gets a call in the middle of the day informing her that our child has hit her head at home and that it definitely didn't happen at school. Also implying that we need to be careful with her to avoid these types of things. This did NOT happen at our home as she was totally fine before leaving for school. Upon picking her up my wife found that she had a massive knot on her forehead. It ended up turning blue and she had a bump under the skin for nearly 2 months. It was a HARD impact. So in this case one of 2 scenarios happened. 1st: it happened at school. The staff knows, and they are trying to cover it up. Or2nd: it happened at school. The staff genuinely doesn't know. Which means it happened, and she was able to cry it out all while there was no teacher present to witness. Not sure which is worse. Incompetence or dishonesty. But as any parent who wants to trust their child's care provider we chalked it up to just an accident and we gave them the benefit of the doubt. In hindsight that was not the way to go as we found out in July. Imagine the guilt felt by my wife and I after looking back after the next incident. How could we send her back here?!Ok so the second incident:July 6, 2023 my wife again gets a phone call from Joyous Montessori staff. This time near the end of the day, stating that she had a rash and we should take care of it. Wife picks up daughter at normal time and again we were told it was a rash. She was also visibly upset as it appeared she had been crying hard shortly before. Sniffling and the whole boohoo thing after a hard cry. Upon getting her home we find on her back what appeared to be somewhere between 6-10 bite marks. There were also scratch marks that broke the skin on the front of both elbows, one of her shoulders, and a mark that looked like she got hit on her nose and left ear. So at that point I called the director. Mrs. Vandana. Informed her about the situation and that we were going to have a meeting the next day. We brought pics of what happened and she admitted that it appeared she had been attacked. I was also shown a video of the incident that was played back on the computer but recorded on Vandanas phone. No audio and the video picked up when the teacher was holding Lily. So who knows even if this is when it happened. But since this video records over itself there was no way to review. Only showed teacher holding child. Nothing else. Here's the thing. A child with multiple bite marks is going to cry. They not only couldn't tell us what happened, they couldn't even tell us WHEN it happened. So again it looks like they were unattended. In both

I would give Joyous Montessori of Keller 10 stars if I could. My child has been attending for 2 years now and will be attending next year for Kindergarten. Every single one of the teachers are professional and truly care about the students. There are lesson plans, and then students are encouraged to explore independently different ways of learning. My son is where he is today partly because of the learning style, love, and welcoming environment that Joyous Montessori offers. They also have an amazing summer program.

I absolutely love Joyous. Both of my daughters have attended Joyous. My 11 yr old attended during holiday breaks and summertime and she had a wonderful time. She loved the teachers and looked forward to going everyday.My 5 year old has been at Joyous since she turned 2 and is thriving socially and academically. She loves all the teachers and has made so many friends. She is completely prepared to start kindergarten. If you are looking for a loving and caring facility for your child that will prepare them for their academic future Joyous is the place to go.

I went to tour this school for my son one time and when I arrived I walked in and the lady had me fill out a paper and left me completely alone in the front. Makes me worried if they left me alone what other people do they leave alone up front? Someone could have easily walked back and went in one of the classrooms. She left me in the front to go warn the people in the classroom I was touring that I was coming in and automatically that makes me think she warned them to get off their phones. I have worked in daycares before and the "bad" ones always would come back and warn us before parents walked in. She did not take any id from me at all. Once that happened I should have walked out but I continued the tour we went into the classroom and it was dirty. She did not show me anything else in the school and then walked me out. Let's just say I would never recommend this school for anyone especially my precious baby.

Great place. Our daughter had been going there for a couple years now and we love the staff. They add a personal touch that you don’t get in many other places. Vandana (owner) is great and there every day which makes a huge difference since she takes a personal interest in ensuring the staff is functioning to the highest standards.

I absolutely love Joyous Montessori! My daughter Jewels has shown tremendous improvement intellectually in such a short period of time. Our previous daycare closed due to the winter storm n this place has been a ray of sunshine and a manifestation of all the beauty n love still present in this world. My 9 month is walking, my 3 year old knows her days of the week, can write her name, alphabet, numbers to 30, some Spanish, etc. she loves her teachers and wakes up excited to go to school everyday. She even wants to go on the weekends. I recommend this place to any parent hoping to provide a safe and learning environment for their children while they are busy earning a living for the family!

***We LOVE THIS SCHOOL*** and We miss the staff. Thank you for providing my son with loving, caring teachers and prepared him for kindergarten. The owner Miss Vandana is amazing and professional. She loves her student and most of all she communicates constantly with parents whether in person or email. My son has been going to Joyous since he was a year old and we are so happy with the transition to kindergarten, it shows that he is definitely ready and even advance in his own class.
