What Parents Are Saying

“Our daughter is going to Casa from almost an year and it has been an incredible experience to watch her learn to do things by herself. It took her couple of months to get used to new place…but, after few months i noticed quite a grit and determination to finish the tasks she started.
Her immediate reaction to clean any spill, her determination to wear pant all by herself even it takes her 10-15 trials, her love towards fellow animals, care to plants…and many other survival skills, all she picked from school.
Even though we commute a lot to send her there, we still do it every day…Why? Because, no daycare is matching the standards and tender care Casa puts into these little angels (In our opinion). I personally have great things to say about the school and the material they provide parents is quite eye opener.”

“We loved our time at Casa de Niños. It’s a true Montessori school and you can tell how much the teachers care. Very reliable schedule. Thank you for taking care of my baby and helping her on her way to becoming an independent individual.”

“Our family has been part of the Casa de Ninos community for over 3 years. We’re only leaving because we’re moving to a different state. And even as we’re saying goodbyes, Ale and Eloy are helping us find a new community of like-minded families. My kids love this school and are loved at this school.
I toured 8 different schools and chose Casa de Ninos for the authentic Montessori principles that make it the Children’s House. Montessori is not just part of their name, it is their way of life and it is evident in their prepared environments, inside and outside. This is not your ordinary daycare. Kids wear uniforms and learn to care for themselves and each other. Casa de Ninos gives them the spaces to grow at their own pace, discover their own interests and become fiercely independent. My not-yet-2 year old is toilet independent because they supported our family’s choice of cloth diapers and elimination communication from the start and my child led the way.”

“My son attended casa de Ninos for 1 year, we moved so we had to change schools but I am so great full for the love care and independence he learned at Casa. The teachers are so sweet and really care about the children . A true Montessori experience. (Now that I have visited other schools I understand the difference) I see my son in comparison to other 2 year olds and am so proud of his independence and patience. Even after moving I could not find another school that could compare so I drove to casa an extra 40 min! It is charming educational one of a kind. Their main focus is the children so you don't get as many daily updates but you can visit observe and will be in ahh of he magic that happens at casa. It's small intimate and the owners are very hands on and are always willing to work with the parents give advice and help the entire family incorporate Montessori living. I appreciate the time spent at casa de Ninos and they will always have a special place in my heart.”

“I am so grateful that I found Casa De Ninos Montessori School and here's why: - academically challenging environment that is also warm and nurturing and appreciates each child for who he/she is; - low student-to-teacher ratio - Child-centered approach: the students' work is self-directed and they are highly independent in the classroom; Overall the school feels like a second family! Best of all my son absolutely loves it here! He is always exited to go everyday! They also have a great summer program!”

“My son started at Casa de niños in December 2020. We came from a really bad experience in another preschool and with all the Covid restrictions I had low expectations. 6 months after I'm so impressed and so happy with Casa. My son has improved his speech, his independence and he seems to be so happy all the time. Teachers are so nice and the administration staff is super approachable. We had our first in classroom parent observation last week and I was amazed to witness the Beauty of a Montessori classroom in real time. At 2 y/o he recognizes colors, numbers 1-20, and the entire alphabet! So if you are considering options, don't even think it twice. Casa de niños is absolutely fantastic! ¡Gracias Casa!”

“My daughter went in 2020 for a few weeks of “camp” over the summer. She adored this place and loved the experience.”

“This review is long overdue. I moved my daughter to this school from another preschool. That other preschool was good, had the app parents are so fond of, and as a new mom going back to work, getting those pictures in the day was a nice way to transition...but I didn't know what I was missing. We were there for about 4 months when an issue prompted me to look elsewhere. When we first started at Casa de Ninos (about 8 months ago), I was so excited because the environment was unlike any school I toured or the previous school my child was at. It was warm, plenty of natural sunlight, calming, no kids were crying or screaming, the details throughout were meticulous and created with the children in mind first. Yes, I was sad at not getting pictures on the app, but the trade off was INCREDIBLE. My child did not merely play, eat and take naps. She learned SO SO SO much! She grew as a person before my eyes. She's bilingual, potty trained by her 2nd birthday (earlier if just counting school, took her a little longer at home), she puts her toys away at home, takes up her plate after finishing, pushes her chair in (and anyone else's who forgot), she's proud of herself, still incredibly shy but no longer with meltdowns about it, there's just so much to say about this place! That's some of what the school has done for my daughter, but it also did something for me as a mom. It gave me peace and confidence. It was a support system. They didn't always do everything perfect but just speak with them, they are constantly looking for ways to improve. There's no bureaucracy, so any improvement is immediately implemented. At times when my husband started to travel a lot for work and I was left alone with everything on my plate, the hard days when my kid wasn't cooperating and the dogs had an accident in the house, my daughter's teacher Ms. Ileana, was my lifesaver! She calmed my daughter, spoke with me as I dropped her off late, helped pull me back together before rushing off to work. She made me a better mom. She is a gem and I'm absolutely grateful for her. This school doesn't have the app, doesn't provide all meals, but I wouldn't have it any other way. They are doing it right and I can't believe there's not a 5 year wait list to get in here! Thanks for all you do Casa de Ninos!”

“Absolutely wonderful”

“I have worked at and picked up from many, many schools in the Austin area. Every time I have entered Casa de Ninos the children are happy, calm and secure. They always have greeted me with the same warmth they greet the kids. If grandkids are in my future, I would certainly want them to go to Casa de Ninos. Absolutely the best school I've ever been to.”

“We moved our 15 month old son to this school more than a month ago. He loves coming to school and the staff are really caring and nurturing. I like that it's bilingual and also exposes him to nature. I enjoy picking him up at the end of the day and watching him play in the garden.”

“Casa de Ninos took great care of our son from 9 months to 4 years old”
