Ms. Maryam, Ms. Brianna and Ms. Rupali are amazing w the infants.
As a first time mom, Ms. Maryam worked w me on transitioning our daughter from purees to finger foods, socks to shoes, and the crib to a nap sack.
I appreciate the structure as they have a set schedule for play time, learning time, nap time, lunch and snacks. I’m always so amazed that all the infants align to the same sleep schedule.
The facility is very clean. They’re always washing the infant’s hands before and after meals, sterilizing tables and toys, and teachers switch out of their shoes to indoor shoes.

Our daughter is in Bluebonnet class & she loves her teachers, Ms. Shaikha and Ms. Veena. They have been wonderful in working with her & offer a great environment for her to flourish. They also have fun events that incorporate the parents' involvement which is nice (family picnics, monthly progress calls, etc). We will be enrolling our youngest daughter here as well!

My two kids (2 and 1) have been at Pinnacle for the last 5 months, I really like how they are clean, organized and welcoming at this facility. Miss Brenda is wonderful even though she is no longer there regularly. I love the teachers of our kids. They are caring and personal.

I cannot say enough good things about this school. Both of my kids went here and they loved it and thrived! Ms. Maria, Administrative Director, is the absolute best! She is a true pillar to this school who is always willing to help and with a smile. I always felt that I was leaving my kids in a safe place because of her and all of the wonderful teachers. The teachers help create such fun and educational environment for the kids and the classrooms are very spacious. Starting with the infant room, Ms. Maryum is so kind and patient with the babies. I always got the feeling that this wasn’t just a job for her, she truly cares about the well being of the babies under her care. She also gave me great tips when I had concerns about my baby either not eating or sleeping well. TBH, I was initially apprehensive about taking my kids to daycare bc of horror stories I had heard about, but they have cameras on all day so you can access them at any time and see how great your kids are doing. :) I’m my opinion, if a school gives you access to the cameras, it is because they are doing things right and have nothing to hide. Ms. Adriana, Ms. Jordyn, Ms. Booma, Ms. Joshna, Ms. Amanda, all the teachers I have interacted with have been so wonderful. I highly recommend this Montessori!

We've just started our 2.5 year old here, and we are pleasantly surprised as to how quickly he has adjusted despite never having been in a school setting - this is all much much thanks to Ms. Veena and Ms. Halley! Every time we drop him off, Ms. Veena's kindness and calmness are so inviting that the drop-off process became easily manageable within just a few days. He is now participating in the classroom activities and even trying to verbalize more - thank you, Ms. Veena! The love, care, and attention he has received is so greatly appreciated.

After searching for daycare for our kids, we finally found a well built, educational and most importantly a well ran progressive learning curriculum for kids. The communication from leadership has been excellent, Ms. Maria, Ms. Brenda , Ms Asila have done a great job with this location. Highly recommend this location to any new parents looking for their kids to learn, progress intellectually and most importantly be ready for kindergarten

I would strongly recommend avoiding enrolling your child in Pinnacle Montessori of Frisco. My family's experience with sending my small child to this school culminated in me having to file a complaint with Child Services. Our family enrolled our child in PMF when the child was just a couple of months old.Sometime after starting, we were told that our child was now at the age to join the toddler class. About a week or two into my child's time in the toddler class, we picked my child up from school on a cold day. When the woman working in the class brought my child out, my child did not have the jacket we sent my child to school with on and the school was not able to locate it despite each child having a dedicated space in their classrooms where diapers, supplies and coats are kept. Given that this was just one of several articles of clothing to go missing, we sent an email to the teacher voicing our concern for the lack of ability of the school to (1) keep up with our child's clothing and (2) have enough compassion to know that a child should not be sent from one classroom to another without the child's coat on a cold day. Things quickly went downhill from there.Unlike other articles of clothing (we were told that instead of being concerning about missing clothing we should just buy cheaper clothing), the jacket was located after the email was sent. Shortly after that, we noticed that our child's daily report started to have negative references to our child's behavior. Prior to our email to the school calling them out for missing clothing, my child had not received such comments. We eventually had a meeting with the teacher and director to gain clarity on this sudden turn. We were shocked by the director's behavior during the meeting. She articulated an expectation that our 15 month old should be able to sit down 15-20 minutes without getting up and that he be able to completely finish his "work" at a workstation without being distracted (and suggested that the inability of a child around his age (15 months) to do that may be a sign of Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is a neurodevelopmental disorder). Our family's request to seek clarity on the teacher's behavioral comments were repeatedly branded "special accomodation" and likened to a mother she supposed had at the school who demanded that teachers read to her infant daughter 15 minutes a day before she slept. She suggested that playing at our child's age was a sign that he was not "engaged." She lectured us on the need to protect her teachers from "suffering", spoke with a blatant air of condescension and repeatedly accused us of seeking special accommodations. Even more concerning, the director ended the meeting by giving multiple anecdotes of much older school age children previously at the school who were either kicked out for physically violence or violently profane language. Previously, my 15 month old child had never been accused of so much as throwing a toy, and could not talk. Our family felt that the director's message was clear; she wanted our child out of the school. We quickly began making arrangements to get our child out of the school as soon as possible. We spent what was probably hours just about every day monitoring the camera in our child's classroom to make sure our child was ok while we found a new school.A week or two after the meeting, we picked our child up from the school and went to change our child's diaper when our child got home. Our child had a small diaper rash that morning that we told the teachers about and gave them cream for. When we opened our child's diaper later that same day our child's diaper rash was so bad that the child's brown skin was raw pink. We looked at the report and the teachers had barely changed our child's diaper that day. Our child was in so much pain that we had to call the child's pediatrician's office's emergency line and kept our child out of school

This place is incredible. We took our year old twins here and they care and love the children first and foremost. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. If you’re in/around Frisco, go here! You won’t be disappointed.

If you read the one-star reviews, you'll notice a common theme: poor treatment of children. As parents, we diligently research daycares and carefully place our children at a childcare facility where we think that they will be loved and cared for. As such, I decided to write about my child's experience because I would never want any parent to experience the pain and frustration that my husband and I experienced.Our child attended Pinnacle Montessori of Frisco from three months old until our child was 16 months. The month before we withdrew our child, we expressed our concerns to the director regarding whether they were communicating our child's medical information to every person who cared for our child, as well as our frustration regarding the fact that, for two days in a row, two different jackets were unable to be located when we picked up our child.After this complaint, our child started receiving negative behavior comments frequently. To put things into context, our child received their first negative report ever on the same day that we notified the teacher of the missing jacket (i.e., the day before our complaint). Thereafter, our child typically received several negative reports each WEEK. Our child was 15 months old at the time. We met with our child's primary teacher to discuss our concerns regarding the frequency and the nature of the negative reports. We were told that the reports weren't meant to suggest that our child was doing something bad, they were more so to let parents know how their child's day went.A few days after this meeting, the director stopped me on my way out the door after dropping my child off and informed me that if my 15-month-old child continued to receive negative reports for the next three months, then maybe my child is communicating that Montessori is not for them. I took this as a thinly-veiled threat to kick my 15-month-old child out based on frequent "negative" reports that coincidentally started occurring after my complaint. Of course, this direct contradiction regarding the intention behind the reports resulted in us having a meeting with the director and the teacher. At the meeting, the director informed my husband and me that we were "too sensitive" and that she had no reason to have a problem with our child because we pay on time each month, and the teachers have never had a problem with us. This was jarring to us because no childcare facility should differ the level of care and treatment that they provide to a child based upon the child's parents' ability to pay on time.After this meeting, things went from bad to worse. Our child came home with a diaper rash that was so severe that it required a medical prescription and for our child to stay home an entire week. We sent our child to this facility for only three more days after the diaper rash healed. On the third day, our child was sent home without a shirt on. When we asked the front desk why our child's shirt was not on our child's body, they informed us that our child spilled water on the shirt, and they didn't have a backup shirt. They did not even bother to notify us to let us know our child needed a shirt. Had they cared enough for our child to notify us, we could have immediately resolved the issue that day. Needless to say, that was our child's last day.I hope any parent of a prospective attendee finds my review helpful. For any parent whose child still attends this facility, you may want to pay close attention to how your child is being treated, especially if (i) you don't pay on time or (ii) you have ever complained to the staff/director.

I have taken this decision a year ago for both my kids and I think it’s the best decision a parent can make for their kids. I love the school and teachers. The teachers give one on one attention to the kids in all areas of learning. My kids are 2 and 4 and they are getting so independent, when it comes to eating, cleaning etc. My two year old and is already ready for potty training. They love to going to school. Great development! I would totally recommend Pinnacle montessori of Frisco, Tx for your kids jnitial years. You will not be dissapointed.

We loved it here!! Our little one was here for exactly 3 years from 3 months of age to just over 3 years old. I was a nervous mama leaving my son with strangers to go back go work but they eased my fears. Asila (the director) is very personable, honest and caring. We enjoyed our experience there and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for their child.

My 4 year old son went to Pinnacle Montessori for summer. It was his first time attending a Montessori. Miss Hema was very accommodating and I could see a great difference in my son. She spent good time with him which boosted his confidence.

I can not say enough good things about this school, our daughter went there when she was a baby but stopped going for a while because of COVID. We were nervous about her returning to school but the school made the transition much easier and now she is loves going there everyday. From the school director, to the front desk staffs to all teachers in classrooms, everyone is so nice and caring which made a huge different for little kids to learn. As a mom, there’s nothing more rewarding than to see her grew to be more independently, has interests on learning and can follow rules and routine well at age 3. She also made some good friends there and they love all the teachers. We are so glad we chose Pinnacle, highly recommended!!
