My daughter has been going to Seedlings since she was 7 months old and the teachers in the baby room are just fantastic!! I know my daughter is in such good hands with Ms Mona who really has a magic touch and takes care of my baby with so much kindness and care. Ms Mona makes it a point to send photos and updates which help me stay connected with her throughout the day. She happily jumps into Ms Mona’s arms when I drop her off which makes daily drop off so much easier for the both of us :) Ms Mona is really a baby whisperer and I’m so glad I found Seedlings!

I enrolled my child based on the good reviews on Google but I got him disenrolled after 15 days (mid August 2023) based on what I saw. The teachers in his class were not experienced (<1 yr of daycare experience, one was a college student), most of the time they either sat around or were seen cleaning the room while the kids just aimlessly hung around. In the 15 days management did not get the tablet to work for the teacher to record daily activities (when I asked the director she said nothing could be done while the owner was on vacation), the classroom on most days smelled of urine and towards the end the front desk area too. I never received any information on whether my child was eating his meals, what activities were done, neither received any samples of art work at the end of the week to take home. The final straw was when I saw the kids being given a lot of screen time...during lunch, during pickup, which continued even after I raised the concern to the director. There is a camera but it is placed such that you can barely see any activities, secondly the children were mostly in some other room so it was useless to have the camera feed anyways. Finally when I wanted to disenroll my child, there was no official disenrollment form - I have not experienced this before, every daycare has a form that needs to be filled out where one can document the reason for disenrolling etc. All in all it was a total management disaster. My child is at a different daycare now and we are very happy there.

The Seedlings is a truly amazing place. We toured a few of the nearby Montessori schools and not only was The Seedlings cheaper with no wait list, but we really liked their values and how little toys there were in the rooms. The STEAM-focused curriculum mixed with life skills and plenty of outside time to burn off energy and maintain focus was one thing we strongly valued. The program structure was very academic and seemed so much more like school for our 2-year-old daughter than daycare. Our daughter has never been to daycare and has been going to The Seedlings for just 3 weeks now and we've already seen a positive change in the way she interacts with us and less tantrums now that her mind is being challenged. We also really liked that the meals were included in the costs and no uniforms were required. The building is extremely secure with a keypad to get in the door, fingerprint scanner to enter the school from the lobby, and cameras everywhere which parents can watch as their child is in the classroom from an app or the web. For younger ones they also help with potty training! The biggest thing is the staff. Their support and level of genuine care and concern is unrivaled. The owner, Aditi, and Assistant Director, Ms. Sara, have been nothing short of truly amazing at helping us navigate this change. The staff have really used their expertise and care to help ease the transition of drop offs in the mornings. In just 2 short weeks, our daughter went from a full-blown screaming cry to her wanting to run to Ms. Sara or her teacher in the morning to get her day started. We happened to run into Ms. Sara at Buc-ee's one weekend as she was leaving when our daughter was out sick days before and she asked how our daughter was and interacted with her since she was with us. She could have ignored us and went about her day, but she took the time and interest in our lives, something that meant so much to us and solidified the trust we already had in The Seedlings. There's no reason not to sign your children up at The Seedlings! We have full trust and gratitude in The Seedlings for their passion in teaching, care for, and patience with our daughter who struggles to nap during designated nap time. I know we are new, but thank you ladies so much for the great work you do for the kids you have. You will never know what a positive impact your school has already had on our lives.UPDATE: Our daughter has been attending for 5 months now and our initial thoughts are still the same. She absolutely loves her teachers and the staff and is thriving at The Seedlings. They have helped with potty training and she loves going to school. We don't ever worry about her safety and have full trust in the school.

Very high teacher turnover. Director appears exceptionally nice but is very different behind closed doors... she's the reason for the turnover. Good people don't leave their jobs.. they leave their leaders.

I would definitely recommend all friends and family to come here. I enrolled my daughter this past March right after she turned 1. The first month was hard. I watched my daughter trying to adjust to napping and eating lunch on the camera that was available in every room. The teachers are super patient and worked with my daughter. It’s amazing how every teacher knew all the kids names even the ones not in their class. I’ve definitely seen growth in my daughter. She’s learned how to do sign languages, nursery rhymes and just be more social. I’m currently pregnant with my second child and I’ve already added his name on the waiting list

We toured several daycares upon moving to the area. Seedlings is one of the very few that checked all of our boxes. The kids and teachers just look happy! The live webcam was a huge benefit as well. Our little one is 10 months and the teachers are so accommodating to help get her acclimated to this new normal of going to school. So far I am very happy with our decision! If interested I would call way ahead of time, get on the waitlist as early as possible. The Director, Ms Kathy, is awesome and helped us so much throughout the process.

I send both of my children to Seedlings and they love it! The teachers are excellent and have helped prepare them for school in the future. I love that they have cameras in the rooms and I am able to watch them during the day. They create the cutest artwork and have fun dress up days my eldest loves participating in. We also get to bring home the school guinea pigs occasionally which is super fun for the kids!

We switched to Seedlings in January 2022, after a place down the street, that we loved, continued closing early and following CFISD closings (which are many). We haven’t regretted it for one second. The Director is communicative. The teachers take good care of our 2 year old. Our son has learned a lot in the last almost 4 months. We would, and have, recommended Seedlings.

I have been a teacher at this school for 2 1/2 years& it’s an amazing school for the children if you are looking for one .Mrs.Cathy is awesome director at this school, she is always on top of things and she updates parents on what’s going on for each month and there is also camera’s in the classes so you can see your child through out the day. We also have activities they are fantastic especially for the summerslip n slide, Kona Ice, foam party, etc….Seeing all the children growning up through out the years it is wonderful and heart warming.All of the families are amazing. I Love each child I ever had in my class, they always have fun and ready to learn. I am proud to be apart of the seedling team.

I was initially drawn in by the charisma of the Director Kathy. Unfortunately, this did not show to be her true qualities. The turnover at this school speaks for itself. I witnessed her belittle a teacher right in front of me for not agreeing with her. Bullying was ignored and dismissed even when brought to the director’s attention. Inconsistent reporting of physical events. Poor communication. I’m sorry I left my daughter here for as long as I did.

As a parent two beautiful kids, I am so thankful to have come across the seedlings in my neighborhood when we were looking for a school that would be a good fit for our kids! My children are happy to go to school in the morning, and I happy dropping them off because I know i can trust the teachers and administrators to ensure their wellbeing. They listened to my concerns and addressed my needs and the needs of my kids. It is nice to be at work with less worry when they are at school. Thank you To the staffs at the seedlings Montessori school!!Opakunle Family ?

This School is beyond amazing! Immediately, as you walk in, you are greeted with a smile and positive energy by one of their staff members. The Director (Ms. Cathy Ruisinger) has a huge heart and caring mindset, she truly cares about the children and works with the parents needs. She is the “go-to” and “jack of all trades” of the school. She is truly amazing! The facility is very clean, the rooms are separated by age group, but very structured where it enables the teachers/staff to communicate/help one another. Our children have been attending this school since October 2021 and they love it there! They have so many fun activities and events for the kids and parents to enjoy! Your kids will never get bored at this school! Our 4 year old son’s teachers (Ms. Kaneez and Ms. Lizbeth) and our 2 year old daughter’s teachers (Ms. Tobi and Ms. Nancy) makes a conscious effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way which aligns with every parental vision. We are fortunate to have them as their teachers! I randomly visit our kids’ classrooms and to my delight, I see them interacting with their peers who are loving and plays well with them. Last, but most importantly, the Management is committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. They have cameras that you will be able to monitor during school hours (which helps with most parents’ anxiety especially being away from them the entire day). Overall, It’s reassuring that we are leaving our children in great hands of Professionals who truly cares about our children’s well-being. We highly recommend this Top-Notch Montessori School!

Seedlings has been a wonderful school for our two children! We moved a year ago and started our 2yo and 4yo, and both transitioned well. The staff and the Director know everyone, and are always so friendly. They are helpful with questions, accommodating with requests, and always go above and beyond to provide a great experience for the kids everyday. They offer tons of 'extras' and all food is included with tuition, making it so easy on the parents. We would definitely recommend Seedlings to anyone looking for a great preschool/daycare in Cypress!
