West Plano Montessori School

We were very nervous about how our 3 yr old daughter will adjust when she started going to West Plano Montessori. On the first day, the teachers received her so warmly and with a genuine affection that I immediately knew she would be ok and she was. I see the same love and affection from the teachers everyday. Our daughter adjusted so nicely and immediately and is so excited to go to her class everyday. I fully credit the teachers for this. Within the first couple of months itself, we can see how much our daughter has learned. She cannot stop talking about her teachers and friends. I think teachers make all the difference in any school and in this school the teachers really make it a wonderful place. This school is highly recommended.

It is without reservations that I highly recommed WPMS to each and every parent who considers the Montessori system of education for their child. This school has by far exceeded my expectations of what a good school should offer. The teachers are very experienced and highly qualified in doing their job. At on point, both sons of mine attended this school before my oldest son transffered to the sister school. My younger son started attending the school at the age of 9 months. He is currently 2.5 years and I am impressed by the things he is capable of doing and by his mannerism when he is working on a new life skill or when listening to his teacher while giving him a new lesson. This school provides a very structured and happy environment for it's students. I am so glad I made the decision of enrolling both my sons at WPMS; because my oldest son continues to excell and my youngest continues to surprise my with his his growing confidence and and independence.

West Plano Montessori School has been a wonderful experience for our daughter and our family! Every day we are amazed with what our daughter has learned. We are beyond pleased. At WPMS, each teacher takes the time to focus on an individual when it comes to learning a lesson, but at the same time allows them to discover and learn on their own. But, most of all, we love the ways in which WPMS implements the Montessori philosophy of a well-rounded education that teaches our daughter grace and courtesy, how to care for her environment, and a wide range of practical life skills that are helping her develop independence and self-confidence. We love how manners and respect are a daily must. This reinforcement is helpful with what we teach at home. Finally, we are lucky that our daughter is surrounded by such caring and devoted teachers who enjoy what they do and love their students. Thank you WPMS for all you do!

WPMS is a WONDERFUL school! The moment you walk in the door you are greeted by one of the more kind and most genuine person I think I have ever meet, Ms. Judy. She and ALL the teachers at WPMS will make you and your child's experience very memorable! WPMS has a small but warm and home like feeling to it, you'll love it! The updates to the building have been welcomed and the upgrades to the outside play area have been great! Thank you WPMS!

When we initially visited this school, my wife and I decided against it because the building is outdated. So we put our children in Montessori Children's house on Hedgcoxe in Plano. After 6 months there we moved our children out because the Iranian Principal there was absolutely awful. She had a serious memory problem and couldn't remember conversations with you that she had the day before. She couldn't even remember if you visited with her! So we moved our kids to West Plano Montessori because many of our friends kids were excelling there and then moving into the advanced programs when they entered their public schools. Hesitantly we moved both our daughters there and they excelled. The teachers are awesome and the Principal (Mrs, Rena) really knows what she is doing. Both our kids graduated from there and are now in Skaggs and are in the PACE program. Don't make the mistake we made by getting distracted by the outdated buildings. Focus on the teachers and the quality of education - it is truly excellent at West Plano Montessori!!! Our two daughters when there from pre-k, to K. We actually moved them here from Montessory Children's house.

Both my son and daughter went to WPMS. They developed into fine kids ready for the public school, and WPMS gets a lot of credit for that. The school provided a nurturing, friendly, safe and loving environment. The children loved it and we remain thankful. The director Mrs. Khandpur and all the teachers were superb.

My daughter attended West Plano Montessori school for about 2yrs. We saw excellent progress acadamically and socially. She made many good friends. The teachers are dedicated, efficient and caring, kids get individual attention from teachers. School had excellent acadamic curriculum, my kid was able to skip KG and directly go for the 1st grade in public school. I love the new covered play ground and interior. We are glad that we choose the West Plano Montessori School. I would recommend this school to everyone.

Both my kids attended this school. The teachers are great, but the facility needs upgrading and there is not enough space for the kids to play

The facilities are outdated for the price they charge, the play ground is awful, it is made out of some kind of yellow stone material which leaves a yellow stain on the children's clothing and will not come off. It has no cover for the children during the summer heat. The teachers and the staff are great though.

My son attended WPMS for his Pre-K year, and it was the perfect place for him. He learned a great deal and made fantastic friends there right away. Owner and staff are just incredible and the small school atmosphere makes everyone feel welcome! We took advantage of 2 of the after-school offerings (basketball and jumpbunch) and he loved them. I simply cannot say enough about how much I love this school and how good it was for us. I highly recommend it!
