My son is 4 and he has been going here since he was 2.5 years old. We are very happy with our experience. Very kind people. Makes your child feel like home. Great communication, you can experience that personalized care and attention to you and your child’s needs. I evaluated many options for my son including the brands and they are run like a factory, not at all what I wanted for my son! This place is not at all like that!

Smart Steps has been such a wonderful experience for my son. He’s been attending for over a year now, and has grown into such an independent, loving and SMART little guy. The staff and teachers are very patient and loving towards the kids, and you can tell it really shows. The kids are always happy to come and sad to leave. We love SSM!

Both of my kids attended Smart Steps and absolutely loved it! We transferred in after having a hard time adjusting at a bigger daycare. Smart steps took my kids in quickly and showed them so much love and support! We are so grateful to have found this school and have it be a part of our lives, my kids have truly flourished and I am so thankful!

Our daughter loves this school; she's always happy to attend every day, and she comes home with excitement around the daily activities. The owners are very warm and attentive, and the curriculum brings out the best in the children. The small size ensures a lot of personal attention.

My daughter is having a wonderful time attending Smart Steps Montessori. She is excited to go to school every day, and I can see so many positive changes in her since she's started. From helping out more at home, to sharing her toys easily, to trying out a variety of new foods - this school has encouraged her to be a more independent, kinder and balanced individual. The school really feels like a home away from home for her, and I am so happy I found it!

My daughter absolutely loves this school! She is so excited to go to school every morning and is happy when we pick her up. I come from a Montessori family and was impressed that they use all of the traditional methods.The owners are warm and caring and always accommodating. It is a very small school which made us feel especially comfortable during the pandemic and also because our daughter gets more attention than larger schools. We are very happy to have found this school!

My family loves SSMS. My 2 year old is excited to go to school every day. His vocabulary, social skills and problem solving skills have grown exponentially since his transition from regular daycare. He likes to help out around the house, is learning how to share better and loooves singing songs he's learning. I also love that he brings home little art projects multiple times a week. The owners are very kind and try to meet every child's need. Plus, my child is VERY resilient and they are super sweet and patient. We highly recommend this school!

We feel so lucky to have found Smart Steps. Zafar and Jamila have created such a warm, loving, and stimulating environment for my three kiddos that I could not have asked for a better place for them. Most importantly, my children all love attending and seemed to feel safe and at home from the start. Apart from keeping them active and engaged and promoting their creativity and development through a variety of activities, the social benefits have been wonderful. All the kids seem to get along so well and are so positive and encouraging of one another. Also, because it is a smaller group, I really appreciate the genuine care and connection between the staff and each child, as well as with the parents.

My son attending this school for about a year and it was undoubtedly the best experience for the entire family. I visited at least 10 schools trying to find a place that fitted the needs of our family and the moment I walked into Smart Steps I knew it was the one. First the owners Jimila and Zafar are some of the most loving and warm people I have ever met. They truly care about the children and love what they do. The environment is small so each child gets tons of attention. They are always willing to work with any issues that arrive. I cant speak enough about how much I love this place.

I can't say enough great things about Smart Steps. We have had three kids enrolled there for the last two years, twins and a two year old. Their lives have definitly truly been enriched from their time here. They have expanded their creativity with art and activities and gained a solid foundation that has them more than prepared for kindergarten.The socialization with the other kids there has been great, they made some great friends there that they see outside of school as well. They have an amazing Thanksgiving party every year that I love to attend with the other parents.The owners are they best and are very hands on, they also have been graciously flexible with us whenever we needed extra help. During the pandemic they have been lifesavers for our household as my wife and I were classified as essential workers, they make sure the families are all safe with proper procedures in place.I feel completely safe leaving my children there with all of the great staff, and I know that they truly care about my children's development and I feel like they love my children too.

Jamilla and Zafar are both so incredibly kind. They have made my whole family feel welcome and are genuinely vested in helping my child grow holistically. I have seen a huge Improvement in my child's learning over the past few months. My four-year old was previously at a charter school and, due to the school shutdown in March, we had to move him to Smart Steps. He hadn't previously began to even work on letters, only shapes, but, within the first week at Smart Steps he was able to write his own name. Very happy we chose this school.

Our son is attending Smart Steps Montessori school from last 3 months. This being the first school for our child we were really hoping to find a place where he can get some personal attention and care. We are really happy and thankful to smart steps Montessori for providing all the care and helping our son to settle down in the school. Miss Jamila and Mr. Zafar ALWAYS go an extra mile to provide personal care and attention to the kids. They patiently respond and provide updates about the child. We are really happy to be associated with Smart Steps Montessori and highly recommend them to any families looking for the best care for their little ones.

Relocating from Chicago to Round Rock, we knew we wanted to find a Montessori school for our son. After touring several schools in Round Rock and Austin we chose Smarts Steps, and could not be happier with that decision. Actually, our son could not be happier we made that decision. He wakes up everyday excited to go to school and can not wait to see his friends. Jamila and Zafar are two of the kindest people we have met, and treat every child with love and respect. The assistants that help are wonderful as well. If you are looking for a safe, family oriented Montessori school for your family look no further. We are going to miss Smarts Steps tremendously when our son graduates.
