We have a FUMP graduate and a current FUMP student and just love this school. The staff is patient, engaging and creative. Our children love going to school here and made friends in both students and teachers. We have been especially impressed by the pre-k year, our eldest just flourished in this class. He learned a lot of great social emotional skills that have allowed him to tackle kinder and really learn because he’s not caught up in peer conflicts.
We've had two kiddos at FUMP and it's been such a great experience. Ms. Lizbeth, Ms. Erin, Ms. Stacy, and Ms. Erica (and their assistants) were all amazing! We also had a lot of confidence in (Preschool Director) Sandy, who is perfect for this role - professional, caring, and always friendly and welcoming. It's beyond me how she is able to remember all the parents and their names. There were only two challenges we faced with this location: sometimes parking was challenging (mostly related to construction crews) and I would feel better with someone monitoring the parking lot to help manage the occasional homeless moving through the area.
FUMP is a truly special place. We moved from the east coast to TX last summer and, after a tour and meeting with FUMP's amazing director Sandy, I made a leap of faith enrolling my 2 kiddos here. We have been so incredibly happy with our experience with both ages and classrooms. They have such nurturing and kind teachers and staff, and it's a welcoming and happy space. My kids never want to leave! They have flexible scheduling, offering before school care (8:15-9), 4 hours of preschool (9-1), and after school care (1-2:30), with options of 2, 3, or 5 days per week. I couldn't be happier with FUMP and its community of parents, teachers and staff.
All three of our girls have attended FUMP and we've loved every minute of our time as a FUMP family. The educational approach is exactly what we wanted and the consistent love and care for our kiddos was evident each and every day. Our youngest has two years more years at FUMP and joyfully walks into class each day.
Our young son loves every day he gets to spend here. The teachers have been engaging, the administration has been helpful, and the location is extremely convenient for us. Glad to be a part of FUMP.
