Our signature crayons are now part of our campus. Our children always know to look for the crayons when they come to school. 🖍

Hooray! ❤️

Congratulations to our faculty for being named “Teaching Superstars” by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. 🌟✨💫

Ms. Elva was recognized for leading a preschool campus during the COVID-19 pandemic without incident. Her campus saw an increase in learning outcomes to avoid the summer slide and strong safety protocols to protect teachers, students, and parents.

Ms. Laura was recognized for excellence in Toddler teaching during the pandemic. She was honored for her work in bringing innovative practices for classroom management and safety as well as adapting complex topics for young toddlers.

Ms. Celia was recognized for transitioning an in-person preschool to a virtual classroom from March - May 2020. Ms. Celia scheduled video lessons and designed virtual learning packets for children to keep up with their learning during the school year.

We are pleased to announce the Rose Savoy Montessori Teaching Scholarship in partnership with the Global Teaching Network, a Texas 501(c)3 nonprofit.

The scholarship - named in honor of Montessori Guide Ms. Rose Savoy - will celebrate her legacy by contributing to the costs of Montessori teacher education of a Montessori Preschool faculty member.

The recipient will demonstrate a commitment to Montessori education as a long-term career and display the values of teamwork and good humor to their colleagues and families they serve.

At this moment, we say farewell to one of our favorite and most beloved Montessori Guides, Ms. Rose. ❤️🌹

Ms. Rose taught at our campus as a Lead Children’s House Guide for several years. She passed away peacefully at home with her family this Sunday.

Ms. Rose lit up a room. She was known for her laughter, love of Elvis Presley, and commitment to early literacy. She was approachable, and she could work well with anyone using her sharp wit and tact. She was well-respected by her colleagues, and she embraced Montessori education with her soul.

Throughout her career, Ms. Rose served as a Montessori Guide, a Head of School, and Administrator. She studied alongside the famed Montessorian Sister Edna Ann, which led to a deep love of reading and writing instruction, and supporting early literacy for hundreds of children across northwest Houston. Ms. Rose was a devoted wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a beloved colleague. She will be so deeply missed.
