Arbor Montessori Academy - Austin, Texas

I could not speak any bad of Arbor Montessori Academy, this school is super amazing! Our son has basically grew up with Arbor Montessori, he started his journey there when he was just learned to walk.
We feel this school as great fit for our kid since the beginning we toured the facility with Tammy. We love their huge outdoor area, educative programs and how the teachers put lots of thoughts in the lesson plans especially during pandemic.
We could see how our kid grew up to be confident and independent boy! Also thumbs up to Tammy who has been very responsive and flexible to our requests and questions.

We love, love, LOVE Arbor Montessori! Our son started here when he was around 3, and it's always been such a supportive, inclusive and positive educational experience. The teachers and staff go the extra mile to ensure the children have engaging lessons and resources, as well as a healthy amount of fun. The outdoor space is *amazing* and one of my favorite elements of the school. The kids get to eat outdoors when the weather is nice, as well as participate in many outdoor learning activities and crafts. The director, Tammy, is always helpful and prompt to respond about any questions or concerns. Once COVID hit, the school quickly pivoted to remote learning and have been super communicative and understanding of the needs of individual families. They continue to support those of us keeping our kids home with take-home learning packets and Zoom lessons each week. I would highly recommend Arbor to anyone searching for a new preschool to call “home” for their kids.

When I was looking for a Montessori for my 1 year old , I was looking for a school with the least teacher turnover rate, clean, structured, lots of playground to play, diverse and I wanted to send her food as she was allergic to a most basic food that was provided in other Montessori. After visiting 10 schools and being dissatisfied about one thing or the other, Arbor Montessori checked all my list and more. That was 5 years ago. She has been going there for summer school as well. She is still going there.

If you ask my daughter, her best part of the day, she will always say it is going to school. Except for the first 5 days ( when she started at 18 months old) she has never once  said she does not want to go to school.

The teachers are wonderful, very supportive and love the kids . Their teaching style and structure is full Montessori approach and they are always ready to talk about the kids progress.  They teach multiple languages, science, math,  basic house chores, fundamental etiquette of mannerism . They teach the kids to be responsible and active as well.

I have recommended my friends to send their kids here and they have.
I am very happy with this school and I will be sending my second one there as well once she starts walking on her own. Looking forward to another half decade with Arbor.

We looked at many schools when we were searching for a preschool for our grandson. Arbor Montessori really stood out for us. All the children were engaged in learning activities independently, were smiling and enjoying learning, the teachers were attentive, and the environment was calming. We knew that it was the place for our grandson. He is about to enter his second year there and can hardly wait to leave in the morning. During this difficult time of stay at home, the staff and teachers have gone above and beyond in preparing themed learning packets and virtual classroom time. The support they offer is outstanding and teachers are always available for discussions via phone or video calls. We are more than happy with our choice in sending him to Arbor Montessori Academy and highly recommend it.

Arbor Montesorri Academy is a warm, welcoming, and supportive school! Both my kids attended for almost 4 years until entering kindergarten. I especially love the teachers, who are kind, loving, and flexible. The low teacher turnover rate was really important to me. I felt like all the teachers really knew and understood my kids.

Our child attended the Arbor Montessori School on Jollyville since he was two years old. We loved everything about the school, the families that go there and the friends we all made. He acclimated well to the environment and learned a lot more than we expected. The teachers are so friendly and I really appreciated how they and the director planned multiple all family events throughout the year. This was a great way to meet the other kids and parents and develop friendships. They also celebrate diversity and are inclusive of everyone, it truly was an international education. I highly recommend this school to other families in Austin.

My kids have been with Arbor since they were about 18 months old. I have tried many other daycare facilities around the NW region and nothing was compared to Arbor. Upon walking into the school, there was sense of calmness and focus that was seen and exhibited by the students and teachers. I was use to the overwhelming chaos experienced at the standard daycares but not at Arbor. My oldest has some issues bonding and opening up to her peers and teachers and therefore having a more calming environments allowed her to feel more secure. Although she continued to struggle slightly, the teachers and the director were very supportive through the process and eventually she bloomed. My girls eventually graduated from the school and we can not be happier. THANK YOU ARBOR for such a great experiencing. Thank you for your support through the years.

This is an amazing Montessori school. Our oldest child was one of the first graduating class. He left Arbor Montessori with a solid academic foundation and skill set. He entered elementary school exceeding the current grade level. It was apparent where we would place our youngest child. This community is not a daycare environment, this is family. Every staff member knew our child’s name and their personality. They sincerely cared for our children. Additionally, our children loved going to Arbor Montessori. Our children were excited to go. Additionally, the education and building of skills are unmeasurable. Not only did they provide the Montessori methodology, they did it extremely well. We cannot say enough positive things about Arbor Montessori. Now that our youngest will be moving onto the elementary sector, our family will miss this amazing school.
