Testimonials

Actual testimonials from REAL parents!

Lakeside Montessori Academy -
The Colony, Texas

“I encourage you to look into this school for yourselves and am sure that you will be as excited and impressed as we have been”.

“Lakeside Montessori Academy is such an extraordinary school and the service surpasses other children’s daycare in The Colony area. All of the staff is just so wonderful and loving. They know all the names of the children and make my daughter feel special and loved every time she walks in the door.”

“After becoming unhappy with my son's previous school, we spent a great deal of time researching and visiting dozens of Montessori schools in the DFW area. We are so lucky to have found Lakeside and know that our son couldn't be in a better school.”

“The school itself is an amazing combination of being state-of-the-art while maintaining a "homey" atmosphere and never seeming cold or intimidating.”

“There is a strong focus on the families of the students and their involvement, which we just love. The family carnivals and educational opportunities for parents are amazing and draw hundreds of participants! They even have "parent’s nights out" where the students can go for a fun and learning night at school while their moms and dads take time for themselves. Just awesome!

“The wonderful people at Lakeside have helped raise my three children into honest, generous people who love learning. Every child is treated as an individual and is made to know why he is special. Many teachers have been there for years, and every teacher knows every child in each class. It truly is a loving family environment. The ladies in the front office are fantastic and keep great communication with parents. Meals and snacks are healthy compared to other schools. My oldest child found the transition into public school easy, as he was confident in himself and in the academic content kindergarten would cover.”

"“Thank you Lakeside for a well-rounded, academically challenging, loving, warm, and culturally diverse start to my child's learning experience.”
