LMS is such a wonderful, small school. If you can look past the home/building, you'll find the teachers have been there forever and the director treats her staff like faculty. This is not some in-home daycare. The trainers there are real teachers. They really live and teach and the Montessori way. Our daughter has only been there for six months in the toddler program and I can already see how much she's learned. We moved her to LMS from a brand new, conventional preschool. My husband wasn't sure about it at first but so many of our friends recommended it. After the first month, I knew we found out home. If you're looking for a place that truly cares and loves each child, a place that feels like an extension of your family, and a place that teaches your child how to be a self-sufficient, caring individual, this place is for you.

I visited 3 other school in the area and immediately when I walked in I knew this was the best fit for our family. Clarissa has a hear of a mother and I love that my kids are at "home" when they are there. We started summer of 2017 and I have been pleased the entire time. Safe, fun, loving, and many opportunities to learn.

Lakeview Montessori School is a wonderfully nurturing environment and was an instrumental part of my family's life for the past 11 years. The school director and teachers are all the best in the business and many have been there for several years or more. You will never wonder if your child is being cared for and loved when they are at LMS. We also met other amazing LMS families that we still keep in touch with today!

I cannot say enough fantastic things about the school. Whether it be the cleanliness of the school, the way the rooms are setup to engage the children, how the staff interacts with the kids or how the director is always overseeing everything that goes on, Lakeview manages to consistently exceed my expectations, which are very high.I have never seen a school where they are so involved. I swear, they all love the kids like they would their own family. All of the women working there have been there for YEARS!I tell everyone I meet about the school. It just doesn’t get any better than Lakeview Montessori.

Our daughter had been cared for by a nanny until we decided to enroll her in school the year prior to her having to attend Kindergarten. We did as much homework in our search for a pre-school program as we did for finding the right nanny. Lakeview Montessori on the Hill and their wonderful staff made the transition for both us and our daughter a pleasant one. Their patience and understanding with our daughter in helping her switch from a nanny and home environment, to a classroom setting was remarkable.In regards to their education techniques, it gets even better! She learned so much in her first two months there, and she continues to excel every day. I also love that they incorporate a little foreign language in their curriculum. Our daughter comes home either singing or speaking the new words she learned in Spanish and Chinese.Thank you LMS!MoniqueSugar Land, TX

We love Lakeview Montessori! Our son started attending 18 months old (now 26 months) and we wouldn't take him anywhere else! The staff is caring and attentive. The Director knows each child personally. At Lakeview and as part of the Montessori method, each child is observed closely and the staff is dedicated to building upon their strengths and interests while introducing and building new skills. They have also given us lots of advice and resources to help us parent our unique child. Our son now shows care for his environment and a love of learning. We can't wait to see how he continues to progress at Lakeview Montessori!

Our family was driving in the car yesterday (Sunday), when my 4 year old exclaimed out loud: "I can't wait till tomorrow!" None of us in the car could think of anything special/out of the ordinary happening on Monday, so we asked her: "What's happening tomorrow?" To which she replied: "School. I am so excited to go to school tomorrow! I love my teachers and friends and I love to learn!" I don't think that there could be a better endorsement for a school, than the one that comes directly from a student. But as a parent, I can say that we toured many schools when we began our search and Lakeview Montessori School by far surpassed the rest. We chose the school for its warm, friendly, atmosphere and loving teachers. The ratios are small and that really appealed to us. The staff knows each child by name and also knows his/her strengths and weaknesses. This allows for "teachable moments" that are tailored to each student and follow Montessori principles. Thank you Lakeview Montessori School for taking such great care of our children and helping to develop them into caring members of society.

I absolutely love this school! Both of my children have attended this school starting at the age of 18 months. My youngest one is still there. My oldest has of course moved on, but he still raves about how great this school was when he was there. The teachers and staff work well with the children and they love the children as if they were their own. I love that they are "school" first and then child care. The children are taught a great daily routine and an academic/ work ethic which is proven beneficial as our children prepare to transition to public school. I totally recommend this school!

When I first contacted LMS to see if it was a good fit for my daughter who at the time was less than 18 months, Clarissa and the staff were extremely helpful and transparent about the school, their ways of working and how they integrate their Montessori philosophy into the core of the school. Having gone through Montessori myself and having my mother as a seasoned Montessori teacher, I would say I am more informed than the average parent about the teaching methods and philosophy. I was pleased to see that even at the toddler level, there class is full of Montessori materials. This was not the case in all the schools I visited.I was worried that my daughter may have a difficult time adjusting to the school environment as she had been with a nanny since infancy. She transitioned beautifully. Largely in part due to the amazing staff at this school and the attention they place to both the parents and childs needs.Now that my daughter has been there well over a year, I know 100% I made the right choice. This school is perfect for us and we cannot say enough great things about all the teachers, and the owner. We love LMS!

We love Lakeview Montessori on the Hill! It is a wonderful school with excellent teachers, staff, and director. They love the children and know the kids individually very well. The school does a wonderful job of preparing children in a number of ways. They help to build a strong sense of community, strong character skills, and academic preparation. They also have a good variety of foods to feed the children, which is very important to me. Ms. Clarissa, the director, has high and clear expectations which makes the school amazing. I highly recommend this school!

My son attended Lakeview Montessori for about 3 years. We're leaving this year so he can start kindergarten. Lakeview has prepared him so well for kindergarten... reading, writing, simple math, and that fire to learn! This is truly a great school with some amazing staff members!!

My son started when he was 18 months. He is now 2 years and 9 months. The staff and school director are wonderful. They really take the time to get to know your child. They have helped me work through my son's most challenging behaviors. The staff and director alike have provided me with a wealth of information about his developmental milestones. Moreover, the teacher to student ratio is low, which is something that is important to us. The facility is always clean and the staff is always on task, even when you stop by unannounced. Additionally, students eat a wide range of foods that have been carefully selected by Ms. Clarissa, the school director. They are constantly being introduced to new foods as well. I greatly appreciate this because it allows your child to develop an eclectic taste and, therefore, eliminates the stereotypical "picky" toddler scenarios in personal and public spaces. He is willing to try everything!I truly feel that we are a team working towards the life-long success of my child. He always has exciting stories to tell me about his day. All in all, I know that we have chosen a great school every time I see my son's happy face upon pick up.
