Feedback from Parents:

"I have observed the class on numerous occasions and I have never seen a more caring, engaging environment in my life," shares Amy Smith, whose 2 1/2-year-old daughter attends Warren Montessori School near Warren Parkway and Hillcrest. The teachers work with the children on an individual basis meeting all of their learning needs, and the hugs and smiles are endless.
"I knew I wanted to move her to an environment that would constantly engage her in learning," Mrs. Smith states. "I could tell immediately a change in my child's attitude and overall demeanor. She was happy, talking about what she did at school, who she played with and singing songs... all of which I did ' not see prior to her time in Montessori."
"I felt very confident that my daughter was prepared for kindergarten. Now that she has been in kindergarten for several months, I know that she was ready," believes Christi Gowan, a Frisco ISD teacher and parent of a daughter who attended Warren Montessori. "Spending two years in a Montessori program has helped her with her confidence as a student, her skills at being independent in a classroom setting and her ability to succeed." Mrs. Gowan adds that her daughter was exposed to many different experiences while at Warren Montessori. The school has a garden, allowing children to participate in planting flowers and growing fruits and vegetables. In addition, the children are exposed to a variety of cultures and age groups.

"An employee that I had worked with at my corporate office referred Warren Montessori to me. I researched and toured many day cares, schools and Montessori's in the North Plano and Frisco area. I was a stay at home mom and finding someone else to care for my child, as well as education, is huge to me. Kevin and I toured Warren Montessori and met Mrs. Gregoria. Walking in I felt very welcome and everyone was very friendly. Plus, the school itself was very secured, clean and organized. Our son was with us during the tour. At the end of the tour he gave Mrs. Gregoria a huge hug. It touched my heart as he had already opened up and liked her. With all that, our son has been enrolled at Warren Montessori since October. The first week or two, Keagan would cry. But, now he tells me he likes his school and Mrs.Gregoria! After the holidays, Keagan will be moved into the next class. It is hard as we all have gotten attached to Mrs.Gregoria. But, I know Keagan is ready to further his education and take his next step by moving up a class. I appreciate everyone at Warren Montessori working with us. I will continue to refer friends and clients!"

"I have two very different little girls and what I appreciate most about Warren , is not only their undeniable love for my children, but how they treat each child on their own level from an educational standpoint. I was so impressed when after the first week of returning after a year off, my daughters primary teacher was able to tell me exactly where my child was from a learning standpoint. I knew, but I was so impressed that she knew too! They take the time to know each child’s abilities and to not clump them in an age group so they never get held back or pushed along without understanding the basics. My three year old can read and write basic words and has been able to spell her name before she was two. If she was in a ‘normal day care’ she would not have been recognized with the ability to develop at that pace. Also, it amazes me when I have visited other schools the difference that a Montessori approach makes. Order is something they strive for and at Warren it is a way of life and the children thrive! They learn to do things on their own as soon as they are able, and it makes them so happy to be independent. I want to thank the staff at Warren for all they do, everyday, where kisses and hugs are welcome every morning and every night from everyone. I love when I hear my daughters teacher call her class ‘her children’. It is the only place I truly trust my child. Thanks to the entire staff. You guys are the greatest and we all love you so."

"First of all, when we moved to Frisco 2.5 years ago, we went to 8 schools to find the best one for our daughter and absolutely thought Warren was the best choice. We even bought a home close to the school. From her first class with Mrs. Sarah to her last with Mrs. Belinda, we were thrilled with our experience. We found a home away from home for our child. What more could you ask for – a group of people to love your child and you loving the same group. I would recommend anyone to send their child to Warren. I know that every school may not be right for every child, but Warren was perfect for us!"

"My son attended Warren Montessori from the time he was 13 months old until he graduated at age 5. We had wonderful experiences with the school and our son loved being there! He started Kindergarten this year and has no problems adjusting! The teachers at Warren were so caring and did such a great job with him that I believe the foundation for being a great student has been laid. Thank you all!!"

"I found the class is very impressive. Every kid is focused on what he/she was doing. All the activities are designed to develop the skills like reading and writing."

"I cannot be happier with the educational experiences my daughter Nuha Omer is having. She constantly takes us by surprise with the things that she does and says. One moment she is talking about months of the year, days of the week and next she is explaining the seasons.
All of this from a two and half year olds mouth!
We came to the school very paranoid, apprehensive parents, having had a full time nanny in 2 ½ years, we were scared how she would adjust, eating habit, social skills but the teachers in her class T2 -Ms. Sara and Ms. Hedi have done everything to make it a smooth transition not only for Nuha but also for us as parents!
The interaction with the teachers has been excellent and they have been very loving, caring, and flexible and helped us through the time of frantic phone calls and constants questions. They are the best!
I had a lot of school searching : before found Warren Montessori and our experience so far been great! Tour entire staff also provides a very loving, nurturing, and respectful environment to the children. You have exceeded any expectations that we ever had of your school."

"My daughter has been enrolled at Warren for just over two years now. Before that I had her at a home-based daycare, which was wonderful, but I knew she was ready to start learning. She started out in one of the toddler classrooms, and I was amazed at how calm the children all behaved and how respectfully they treated each other. Her teachers and friends would all give her hugs when I’d pick her up to go home, and she was never upset to leave me when I brought her to school in the mornings, so I knew she felt right at home. I really like that Warren tries to keep the children together in the same group, for the most part, so she really has a tight-knit circle of friends who have all grown up together. When she moved into her primary class, I was amazed at the change in her confidence level. She came home talking about astronomy, the digestive system and rainforests. The education our children are receiving at Warren is above and beyond anything they will get anywhere else. I am very confident that Zoie and her classmates will excel when they make the switch to elementary school. The confidence they have developed will allow them to adapt easily. I’m grateful to Warren for the education my daughter has received, for the friends she has made, and for the love she receives not only from the teachers in her classroom, but from every teacher and employee in the school."

"The teachers in Infant 1 are fabulous!! I used to visit the classroom regularly at lunches and there was never a time where a child was left crying unattended. When I visited other schools, I felt like the children didn’t get the attention they needed. That’s not the case at Warren . When I drop off Nathan at Warren , I know he’s cared for and loved. And you can tell he loves the teachers by the way his face lights up when he sees them!"

To parents that are considering Warren Montessori School for their child:
I am writing this letter of my own accord to highly recommend Warren Montessori for any child from birth into grade school. Having had my son enrolled at Warren for 2 ½ years and also being in a public school teacher myself with 19 years of experience; I feel that I can objectively speak about the quality of this wonderful school. The Montessori Method is an amazingly successful method of teaching and learning through the use of all the child's senses and the world around him. He is taught the everyday task of how to care for himself and have respect and caring for others. The child is taught respect for nature, the environment, and people from all countries and cultures. The children at Warren Montessori are given the tools for understanding and tolerance at a very early age. The Montessori Method speaks for itself; I would now like to say a few words about this particular school. When we first came to Warren, my husband and I were not sure what to expect, since our son at the age of 3 years had never been in a so-called "structured environment''. It took only 2 weeks or so before I began to see miraculous changes. Scott had always been a smart and happy child, but he was definitely not used to having to conform to a schedule or be patient and considerate of others! Each day when I came to pick him up, Scott would tell me something wonderful about school, and it usually had to do with others should be treated. I was very impressed by this, and he began acting out at home what he was being taught at school. He began to show true caring and concern for his twin sister, who has special needs. I always knew Scott was intelligent, but the learning and growing that he demonstrated while at Warren far surpassed my wildest dreams. He brought home folder after folder virtually stuffed with knowledge, curiosity, and creativity. The teachers do not limit the students in their learning; there IS no limit. Each child progresses at their own rate and the teachers encourage the children to help each other in the classroom. Scott is now reading short books and many compound and complex words, writing letters and words clearly, and can sound out blended consonants with ease. He will enter kindergarten this fall, but I have often seen him work at a 1st or 2nd grade level. Perhaps the biggest impact that Scotts experience at Warren has had on me in particular is how much the teachers and staff care about the physical, social, and emotional well being of each child. The teachers are passionate about loving and teaching children; this is very obvious. The owners and staff are extremely competent and conscientious as they the children and parents. It is with admiration that I give my unqualified recommendation of Warren Montessori School in Frisco. My husband and I would not have wanted anything less for our child.

"My daughter was here for a year, and when she left it felt a lot longer. The reason was that she and I both developed such amazing relationships that it was very sad to see her leave and join a Public School. Warren Montesorri (especially Ms Sandra) gave her a basis in life long education which I hope serves her all her life. They have been instrumental in Tasha's basics; in education, behavior and creativity."

"Thank you for everything! As you can see you all have made a huge difference in Kevin’s education. I can not tell you how much we’ve enjoyed our time at Warren."

"This letter is from Debbie Hotson PISD Teacher to Michelle Currier, Kevin Currier’s Mom"

To: Currier, Michelle
Subject: Kevin’s reading

Hi Michelle,
Kevin has just been growing and growing in his reading, and I to share his accomplishment with you! Kevin took a STAR reading test on Friday. After taking the test, I had an exact zone in which Kevin can read. He is reading between a 1st and 2nd grade level. I put a copy of the diagnostic report from the test in his red folder on Monday. That gives you an idea of how he is doing and how you can help him. Kevin will no longer read in a reading group with me. He will now read books straight from the library. He can begin taking Accelerated Reading test on his library books. That is the reading program that the 1st – 5th grade kids are on. I will get Kevin a list of books that will stay in his library folder. He will choose two books off the list when he goes to the library. One book will a free read book that he reads for enjoyment. The other book will be for his AR test. I will put a list in his reading binder that lets you know which books he used for testing and how he did on the test. I will get that all fixed up this week. Kevin can go to the library (once a day) as many days as he wants to. He will set his own tempo. I’m so proud of him.
