They start out great by saying everything you want to hear. The facility is nice. We had a bad experience here, a very bad experience! The ratios are much higher than they told us. There was a new teacher every month, literally! Sometimes they didn't even tell us there was a new teacher, we would show up to pick up our child and there was a new face. My child came home with a dirty face most days and with black knees from the playground. Communication was terrible! The main teacher is only at the school from 8:00-3:00 so I never saw the main teacher. the tuition goes up every year and additional fees are charged about 6 times a year. Each month of the Summer has two fees totalling an extra $80, there is a Fall registration fee, two supply fees a year, and other charges. i don't know why they charged a supply fee 4 times (twice during the school year and twice during the Summer) because the kids never do crafts. The only thing we ever saw were pages that they colored. I dont know where the supply fee went, the classrooms never had new toys. The parents supply plants, water bottles, cloth napkins, and everything else they needed for supplies. They constantly ask for something! The assistant director is very fake and the director isn't much better. They say everything you want to hear but don't carry through with it. I had a parent call me and tell me she saw a teacher practically throw my child on the nap mat. The same teacher had at least two other similar complaints but they boasted that she was one of their best teachers. When we toured we were told that tv was not allowed but they watch TV every Friday and almost everyday during the Summer. That is very anti-Montessori!! They are not registered or licensed with any Montessori association and some of their teachers haven't completed their montessori training. They also close way too much! Overall, the care there is terrible. There are so many schools in Frisco so go find a good school. This school is terrible! A good sales pitch but an awful school!
