Montessori Academy at Westridge

This school is a hidden gem! My daughter has been attending for a few months and we couldn’t be happier. All the credit goes to Ms. Christina for her passion, compassion, and the individual attention to the students, curriculum, and their well being. I’m impressed by how well my 2 yr old is taken care of, her behavioral, cognitive, vocabulary development. She is learning a ton, well behaved, and loves to go to school. 5 stars all around!

Our daughter went to MAW a couple of years ago when they were under a different director. We were hesitant to put my son back in the program, but had heard wonderful things about the current director, Christina. We have not been disappointed! He started in the Toddler class and we were very impressed with his two teachers and the daily reports they sent home with him everyday. My son loves to go everyday and has learned so much in the short time he has been there. He has already progressed enough to be moved to the Primary class. I loved that the staff recognized his need to be challenged and recommended the move prior to when we originally had discussed. I highly recommend this facility!

We moved our daughter, 2 years old, to MAW in November 2014. We moved her from a very reputable daycare in the area and it was just that, a daycare. Since moving our daughter to MAW, she has made great strides as Montessori Academy at Westridge. As a teacher within FISD, MAW’s curriculum is spot on with cognitive abilities and also exposes the children to the Montessori teachings every step of the way. Ms. Christina and Ms. Ashton, the directors have done a phenomenal job turning around what seems to have been a «declining» school. I am all about reviews and reading them, but once you step foot in to the building, you will understand why you will want your child to attend this school. We could not be happier than we are at MAW and I wish I had checked it out sooner.

My son has been enrolled in this school in the toddler class for 4 months now and I have been very pleased with the attention, care, and education they have provided for my son. Every time I drop my son off or pick him up, I am always greeted with the kindest staff that truly cares and treats my husband and I (and little one) like their family. My boy is my only child so I was very particular about where I was going to enroll him. After a personal tour where the director answered all of my questions, I felt very comfortable about enrolling. As far as the previous reviews posted, everyone should understand that this academy is under completely new and experienced direction that has made substantial changes and improvement to their program and facilities. The director is very experienced and approachable. The teachers are all wonderful and kind and competent. I am so happy to have found a school that I can feel good about taking care of my child, knowing that he is getting a great education in a safe environment, and close to my house.

My son has attended a few different preschools in the Frisco/​McKinney area prior to heading to Kindergarten, but we really found our home with Montessori at Westridge. The new management is really changing things around the school and my youngest son flourished in this caring environment. He is now in Kindergarten and because of the curriculum at MAW, he knows most of the words that will be on his Word Wall in class for the entire year!
We were so pleased with the learning and care that MAW provided our son. I would highly recommend this school to others (in fact several people have chosen MAW after speaking with me)!

This is the third time the school removed my review from Unilocal.What are they trying to hide!!! Definitely bad reputation and bad business practices. One other reviewer said it was like a puppy mill… exactly how I felt when my child was there. Messy, dirty and stinks of poop in the classrooms. Every few weeks there were new staff. Stay away from this mess of a school run by incompetent management.
