What Parents Say
Lake Hills Montessori receives mostly positive reviews praising the Montessori curriculum, small class sizes, teacher quality, and beautiful facilities. However, several parents express concerns about staff turnover, growing classroom sizes, and administrative/ownership issues that have negatively impacted their experience.
Our kids just finished up the year here and absolutely LOVED it. Shannon is such an organized school leader. Our kids were in classes with Ms. Tiana and Ms. Maria. We saw so much growth in their Spanish, independence, reading skills. The afternoon teachers Ms Fran and Ms Hope kept the kids busy and energized in the afternoon. The classes are small and focused. It is one of the calmest preschools we have ever toured. Parents are really engaged. We truly wish this school was closer to us but cannot say enough good things about the leadership and teachers!
My daughter attended lake hills from age 2.5 to age 5. Every teacher there gave her support, love, and understanding but also structure. She had the same teacher the whole time in the under 3 classroom and the same teacher when she moved into the 3-6-year-old classroom. She is now going to elementary school but still wants to visit her teacher on the weekends. We had a wonderful experience and I would recommend to anyone.
Unfortunately, the Westlake & Lakeway area is very limited with Montessori and full-time childcare options. LHMS boasts a great facility and a well-trained staff. The children are mostly happy and that is top priority. Most of the parents have grown increasingly frustrated with the school - particularly the administration staff and owner. The classroom size continues to grow and the quality of education is suffering as a result. 27 children to one lead and an assistant is far more than what any parent signs up for. Lake Hills Montessori would not be my first choice for preschool but, given our family's needs and preference for Montessori, it fits the bill. We will not be returning next year.
We LOVE Lake Hills Montessori! My five year old has been attending LHM since Fall 2017 and has had a great experience. We've noticed a very positive change in her attitude about school, her confidence and independence, and her happiness. She even asks to go to school on the weekends! The teachers are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and open to working with us on anything that we need. The school is clean, organized, and well run. The entrance and playground are AMAZING, with a faerie garden, play houses, swings, vegetable garden, trees for shade and more. It's just beautiful! We love all of the after school events that make LHM not just a school, but a wonderful community. Delete review
5 stars for the actual curriculum and my children’s experience. The Montessori curriculum is fantastic. The facilities are sweet and engaging. The families are diverse and intelligent. However, I am giving 4 stars because the turnover rate for the teachers and staff was outrageous. The common denominator for these departures was the owner. I hope she’s become more generous or that there is a new owner.
