We have been here for years and know the staff like family. The education my kids have received is top notch. Hands down the best Montessori school in Cypress. We would highly recommend them!

Was told my son was running on playground fell and cut his finger.(on top of pinky) btw they decided to contact us 2hrs after incident. Picked up my son that afternoon then was told two kids fell(my son and another) but no one saw it. I asked to see video footage I was assured I could see it first thing in the morning. My fiancé went to view footage while I was attending via phone. The male owner was extremely rude and disrespectful to her to the point he was belittling her and telling her kids they have soft skin and it happens all the time. Well that's fine but the stories don't match up and neither does the cut to the story. After watching approximately 15 mins of footage it is found out that my son had NEVER RAN OR FELL! So now they are shocked bc the day prior I have and incident report filled out and signed saying this is what happened! The employee who signed the document was not even present outside when my son was injured but claims she picked him up off the ground after being injured! The video footage goes on to show that the real cause of the injury was an outside water fountain with extremely sharp edges. My son hunches over crying grabbing his hand in pain on video. Finally a teacher walks back outside 2 ft away from my son and walks ride past him crying as he is trying to show her his injury! Another teacher finally notices and goes wash the injury with water from the splash pad!(bc that is sanitary) then goes back inside while my injured kid stays outside and the teacher walks past him YET AGAIN and goes sit down and what looks like to go play on phone in corner. This place is a nightmare! Will make every excuse they can even with video footage! Police were contacted and case was reported as CHILD ENDANGERMENT! Officer said he would contact CPS and proper authorities as will I! Pictures are worth a THOUSAND WORDS but the video says a MILLION!

I never leave reviews on anything, but felt I needed to inform other parents of our terrible experience. My husband shows up to pick up our daughter and she has throw up in her hair. When asked what happened they casually stated, oh she threw up. We did not receive a call (or any notification) of this occurring. We had no idea what happened; it's terrifying not knowing the cause. Did she hit her head? Were others vomiting? Is it food related? This place does NOT COMMUNICATE nor are they transparent with the parents. After my husband did not get any answers from the front desk, because "they didn't know it happened" I proceeded to call. Again, when asked, their answer was "I was on break and don't know what happened. I can call the director if you'd like or you can ask in the morning." Shocked, I asked if they had a protocol in place to notify parents of these incidents and she said if someone has a fever over 99 we call. I do not feel comfortable leaving my child in their care and beyond disappointed with how the situation was handled/my daughter was treated.

My children (1 and 3) went here for a few months. The lesson plans are great, the morning teachers were great, and my children learned many new things. There is not enough supervision on the playground and the staff does not address hitting/bullying for ages 3-5. Children are left sitting against the wall for long periods of time instead of the policy (1 minute timeout for each year of their age). I drove there early sometimes to witness this from my car. The staff is not friendly in the mornings and I hated dropping them off because of this reason. The words “good morning to you too” or a smile would be great when your taking someones child! I decided to switch her to a preschool that welcomed her with positive energy and I am very pleased! This means a lot to the little ones and they deserve happy people caring for them in the morning.

We started at Growing Scholars because our child wasn't doing great a previous school. Within the first few weeks, we had a parent teacher conference with our child's teacher. We figured it was a talk about poor behavior - but she recognized that our kiddo just needed more of a challenge. Our pre-k child truly excelled at GSM, she could read, write paragraphs, and was just full of knowledge. We decided that given the inconsistent nature of schooling in 2020, the GSM kindergarten class was the best place for our child to get in-person education in a loving environment. Now they've started the program - we found out they include spanish as part of the basic offering. I'm so excited to see how much our kiddo can learn this year. The owner Mr. T is there every day, is extremely hands on. We have our younger child at GSM as well and is so excited to go to school every single day.

I have had no issues with this school. Front of house staff can be a bit blunt, but they're not uncaring at all, and listen when you have a concern. The daytime teachers are amazing and help with so much, from learning to life skills. The afternoon teachers are so fun and help with imagination and play. My daughter is about to read and isn't even 4 yet. She loves learning with this school and hates missing time there because she loves her teachers so much. Prior establishment was not the same, and I'm forever thankful that we found GSM. I have no doubts that she'll be more than prepared for kindergarten and more. I just hope that I can keep up! They let kids work out issues themselves, which has its ups and downs, but it's easy to get to know the kids and see both sides before making a judgement. Really love this school.

I am a little confused why this school only have 3.4 stars? My youngest daughter has been attending Growing Scholars for about a year now & she LOVES IT. She (2 years old) wakes up excited to go and comes home excited to tell me about her day. As most kids, she has dealt with her fair share of separation anxiety and the teachers and staff there have been more than understanding and patient with her. Now, she runs into school, ready to play with her friends. Ms. Alma has been a fundamental asset to her growth and I am so grateful for her and the staff. Everyone is so friendly and ready to assist you and your family in your needs. This school is a million times better anything in the surrounding area. I am expecting baby #3 and feel more than comfortable, if I do decide to go back to work at 6 weeks, to leave a child that young in their care. As a working mother, I have always hated leaving my babies, especially that tiny in someone else care. But with Growing Scholars, it doesn't bother me because I know the exceptional care they provide. They go above and beyond any daycare I have ever sent my children to. Sincerely, Mother of 3(12 yr old, 2 yr old and a bun in the oven)

Great school around the cypress area. My daughter has been going there for more than a year and a half now and touch wood I have had great experience with both management and the teachers. They have regular check-in with the parents, keep kids engaged on a constant learning curve with both structured tutoring and outdoor play activities. Looking for a good clean and neat school in the neighborhood I would say check it out for sure.

We love Growing Scholars! My oldest son is now in first. He had such a head start when he started kinder. I was so worried my youngest was going to have a hard time starting Pre K, (3YO). I spoke with Nicole about my concerns and she placed him with a teacher perfect for him. He has learned so much in the time he's been there. I never have a hard time getting him to go to school. I can not say enough good things about this school from the teachers, to the front desk, to the owner.

Long review alert: I thought this school was great until I had to learn the hard way that they don't have my kids best interest at heart. I have two kids who attended growing scholars and my oldest attended since he was 2, and is now 5. I love Mrs. Maria and Mrs. Rajni. I'm saying that to say there are some great teachers here; however it's the owners and the young workers that I have an issue with. My son was waiting on the playground to go down the slide when a kid ran into him full speed and caused him to hit his head. My sons friend ran and told the teacher, and the teacher just came and told the kid to say sorry. My child was crying that his head was hurting and the teacher didn't do anything about it. We (my husband and I) did NOT RECEIVE A REPORT and no one even told us what happened. My son was acting strange we he got home, acting spaced out, so we took him to the ER. When we got to the ER he started vomiting, and fell asleep and WOULD NOT wake up!!! This was the scariest moment of my life. My child had suffered a concussion and no one even reported the injury to us. We went on the next business day to talk to the director Mrs. Nicole and she said she did not know what happened, and we (my husband and I) were angry and demanded answers. So she called the owner to come talk to us. He basically tried to downplay the situation by saying first he didn't know it happened and then saying that the teacher suggested maybe something else was wrong with him. He was very insensitive to the situation and provided no answers for us, and then had the nerve to kick our kids out of the daycare because we expressed our disappointment with the no reporting issue. Therefore, I don't recommend this daycare to anyone. Don't let the good fool you because the owner and administration don't really care about your kids. They definitely put money ahead of caring because if they didn't, they wouldn't hire young inexperienced, and inattentive workers to come in to watch the kids in the afternoon which is exactly who were watching the kids when my son's accident happened.
