I'm considering enrolling my daughter in montessori starting next fall and from what I understand, the application process will be starting in the next couple months. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with the number of schools in the Plano area and the lack of online information. Can anyone who has children currently enrolled in a Plano area Montessori please give me some recommendations? Thanks!!

Our daughter will turn three in February and has been at Pebblecreek Montessori since she was 18months. She (and we) Love(s) it! She's doing so amazing there and learning so much. It's incredible and one of the more traditional montessori programs. the teachers are phenomenal! Our daughter is the most well behaved 2 y/o and so independent because they have such a positive learning environment focusing on life skills and independence. I can't say enough great things about Pebblecreek. They are located at Spring Creek off of Coit. They are currently selling their building to PISD and are building a new school somewhere around hedgecoxe I think that will be ready next year. They serve 18months to 5th grade. We LOVE it there. They have several class options including a 1/2 day, school day, and all year montessori. They have a PTO (similar to PTA) group, room moms, festivals, cultural day, and they follow the PISD calendar.

Good luck in your search!

My son goes to Soraya Montessori Academy on Custer and Spring Creek and we have been there for about 2 years. I really like the school and Ms. Soraya is one of the most patient women I've ever met. It is a small school and to me that is very appealing. They are very nice people and my son really likes it there.
Hope it helps!

Hi J.,

Our daughter has been attending Preston Meadows on Ohio and Legacy for about two years now (she is 3.5). We have been so impressed with the staff and what Elizabeth has learned over the last couple of years. The whole staff is very patient and caring; every few months they have a special event to help the kids learn and celebrate (just finished Fall Festival where they learned about bugs - had a "Bug Cafe" where we got to have lunch with our daughter, among other things). My daughter is already learning to write her letters and numbers, had excellent manners, and has so much confidence in herself. I attribute alot of this to her teachers at PMM. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: ____@____.com

Good luck! You are right, there are alot of Montessori schools in Plano. Its hard to decide.

I researched ALL the Plano, Richardson and Allen Montessori schools in the area by either computer online, mail, phone or in-person interviews. I have a 2 year old daughter and 4 year old son. We chose Soraya Montessori Academy- 6000 Custer Road in Plano-corner of Spring Creek and Custer. Phone ###-###-####. This is a warm, nurturing small school Montessori environment which gives individual care and attention to our children. No Montessori school can beat the tuition cost which includes Montessori teachings and equipment, certified Montessori teachers, breakfast, morning snack, hot lunch and afternoon snack. No additional cost for snacks or lunch prices. Full-time tuition is so amazing and you don't have to worry about extras such as early morning care and after school care--great for working Moms--open from 7:30am to 6:00 pm. Also- very limited vacation calendar great for working parents. All inclusive amazing tuition price. You are paying for the quality care and Montessori education in a small scale warm "super clean" school environment. They constantly clean, disinfect and wipe everything and playground equipment. You can tell many other private Montessori schools have higher prices for the large buildings, fancy chandeliers and the fluff that does not calculate into the individual quality care and attention. I researched all over the internet and visited/toured many Montessori schools around the Plano area and did not feel comfortable with large size Montessori commercial feeling environments and high student/teacher ratio for my young children. It is truly a "hidden gem" like the other Mamasource Mom said (word of mouth advertising must keep tuition cost low). We are a very very happy family now and my husband and I can go to work in peace because of Soraya Montessori Academy!!
