My husband and I both have always worked, so full day child care has been our need for our 2 children. We have a 6 year old second grader and a 3 year old. While needing full day care I resorted to the larger Daycare Centers to care for our children. I always felt that they were just “babysitting” my children and that to them my children were just another tuition. I felt like I was settling for the best of the worst, I just didn’t feel the education was there. The quality of the lunches and snacks were poor… and undesirable. I had heard about Centerra Ranch through a friend of mine who highly recommended the school. I was a little hesitant to move my 3 year old son because he doesn’t do well with new people or surroundings. My son has been at Centerra for over 8 months now and he has flourished. He adapted well to his class thanks to Ms Paula, she went above and beyond to help my son feel accepted in his new environment. I love that the classes are small, and each child moves up when they are ready. I feel like my son is getting the best possible education here. I also love that the lunches are catered by the Good to Go company next door. I feel confident he is getting the nutrition he needs. When my 6 year old daughter finished her first grade year at elementary I enrolled her into the new Science camp at Centerra. She has been having the best time learning about science this summer. The camp is small also so there is plenty of one on one time with the camp teacher. She will definitely be back next summer. . I truly feel like the school is an extension of our family they are not the biggest, but the BEST. Read full “Garcia Family”
When our family moved to Katy in 2012 we were worried about finding a school that met our high expectations. No matter where we looked we were always disappointed in either the curriculum, the facility, the playground- it was always something. I knew within a matter of moments when our tour at Centerra Ranch began, that our search was over. Our daughter loves to be outside and the science deck along with the plans for the vegetable garden were very appealing. What was even more appealing to us as a family was the planning of the food. The fact that… the children will be fed as local, organic and in season as possible was impressive. I feel that the teachers are an extension of our family and it is apparent that our daughter does as well. She enjoys the challenging, hands on approach offered at Centerra Ranch. Centerra Ranch Montessori School has exceeded our expectations from day one! Read full “John and Whitnie Willis”
Our son has been going to CRMS since August 2012. He absolutely loves going to school and likes his teachers. All the staff members seem to be very passionate about the children and what they teach. The school environment is extremely warm and truly encourages the kids to find their own voices and develop a love of learning. Above all the head of school who is also the owner is simply “awesome”. She is always available to teachers, parents and students. We were very impressed since the moment we met Mrs. Auzenne during the tour. She is a very positive,… enthusiastic and an affectionate person who has a vision for the school. We are blessed to have found a school which in true sense is a home away from home for our son.

Our family loves Centerra Ranch Montessori School! How often in life can you say that the promises in the sales pitch were not only met but exceeded? The school promises learning in a socially and emotionally safe environment where the whole school is enthusiastic and supporting of each individual child’s interests and creativity. My daughter absolutely loves school. I love that. They have a deep and truly diverse community that is welcoming, cohesive, curious, thoughtful and respectful. This school is growing children with more than just factual knowledge they are building human beings that have depth-of-character. That is what I REALLY want… for my family. She formed many wonderful friendships – with her teachers and classmates, was nurtured and valued as an individual. If you want your child to be passionate, authentic, committed, well read and educated, this is the place for you. Also would like to mention the cleanliness rules followed by the school and teachers are really nice as you will not see a child with dried runny nose, which makes me appreciate that the teachers and staff take the time to wipe kid’s faces and noses which will in turn help keep our kid’s healthy. They wipe the toys and stuff in the classrooms all the time. My daughter started attending this school in the month of January and I have seen a difference in her personality. Love All the Teachers for their hard work J I will recommend this school. Read full “Bhakti Bavare”
Our family was blessed to discover Centerra Ranch Montessori School in its beginning stages and enrolled our daughter, then 3, in August 2012. We have been so completely pleased with our experience at CRMS. Our daughter, who is the youngest of four children, has blossomed so much in thanks to her time at school and really come into her own. It is very obvious that she is receiving manners education, and her academic gains have amazed us as well. We feel really great about the nutrition program and high level of quality she receives in meals, and were thrilled with… the field trip students took to observe a kitchen, discuss healthy and organic food choices, and make their own pizzas. Our daughter loves every moment she spends at CRMS and is never in a hurry to leave! More than anything, she loves her dedicated teachers, and her director, Ms. Angeline, as do we. We couldn’t feel more strongly that she is very safe and well-cared for during her time at CRMS, nor could she be getting a more well-rounded early education. I recommend Centerra Ranch Montessori to other families every chance I have. Read full “Katie & Matt Murray”
