Our experience, dedication, and commitment to hiring the best educators and remaining true to the Montessori philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori is what sets our school apart and poised as the leader in Montessori education.

We offer year-round programs for infants, toddlers, primary (including preschool & kindergarten), and elementary-age children.

Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum is comprised of a carefully prepared, fun, and loving environment that encourages children to learn individually at their own pace. We have a dynamic learning environment with a wealth of concrete, didactic materials that encourage children to discover and learn during these crucial early childhood years. Montessori teachers are trained to support and guide them to their developmental interests; the results are joy, immense satisfaction, and excitement about learning.

Our Programs

Infants (6 weeks – 18 months)

Our infant environments embody Maria Montessori’s vision of a “Nido” or nest; they are peaceful, loving places where babies can explore and feel secure. Teachers speak in gentle tones, the daily pace is unhurried, and décor is inviting and homelike. Each child in our daycare center is an individual to be nurtured with affection and respect. As is customary for Montessori environments, every detail of our enriched learning environment is selected with the child’s whole development in mind.

Toddlers (18 months – 3 years) 

Castle Montessori is one of the best preschools in Frisco, TX for early childhood education. Our toddler program focuses on a period of tremendous development and growth. During this stage, children enhance their mobility, improve their gross and fine motor skills, as well as learn they are separate individuals yet a vital part of a community. It is a critical time for a child’s progress in emotional development and social skills.

Working with the children’s natural tendencies shows respect for their development and encourages them to enjoy learning. This method of learning empowers children to grow in their natural talents and interests. Our teachers take great care in providing a nurturing, safe, and comfortable atmosphere, while at the same time igniting the child’s natural curiosity in the many materials and activities offered in the classroom. Children are not required to be toilet-trained to enter this program. They will be supported at their developmental needs.

Primary (3 – 6 years) 

Our primary program offers an authentic, high-quality Montessori education that meets the needs of each child by offering them opportunities for optimal development. Our primary classrooms offer a rich, engaging experience where the child can joyfully explore with freedom and confidence as they master each new skill. Our teachers provide children with age-appropriate learning activities to support each child’s development.

Our private preschool environments are prepared with a focus on fostering discovery and a love of learning within a framework of developmentally appropriate activities or work. This framework presents the entire scheme of the curriculum to the child in a hands-on, dynamic, and carefully sequenced format. The child spontaneously chooses each learning experience and repeats it over and over to gain mastery. 

Our program offers a curriculum that is individually paced to meet each child where their needs are. Our classrooms offer a mixed-age range from three to six years where the younger ones learn from the older ones. This provides opportunities for leadership, cooperation, and a sense of community.

Elementary (6 – 9 years) 

At Castle Montessori Schools, our elementary program allows the children to work in small groups on projects that are intellectually challenging through the expert guidance of a trained teacher and an environment that supports the growing needs of the children through their developmental stages. Children love the ability to use the whole morning to work on extensive projects and families can feel confident their child is getting a quality education. Students foster communication skills by collaborating with other children on educational projects in various subjects. Elementary studies include geography, biology, history, language, mathematics, music, and art

Our curriculum includes outdoor field trips to community places such as the library, botanical garden, factories, hospitals, and science museums. The essential goal of a Montessori education at the elementary level is to provide an opportunity for the child where they can deepen their understanding of all subjects as well as follow their interest and build community.

This guide team is responsible for ensuring every child is given the foundational knowledge they need to develop a lifelong love of learning.

Christine Thung

School Director

I am Christine Thung, a wife to a wonderful husband, Willy, and a mother to two teenage daughters, Annabelle and Felicia. I’ve been dedicated to Early Childhood Education for 25 years, with the last 15 as a School Director in California. Born in Indonesia, I spent 35 years in California with my family before moving to Texas three years ago. I received my BA in Liberal Arts with a minor in Early Childhood Education.

My journey in education has always been rooted in a deep love for nurturing young minds, especially through Montessori education. Trained and skilled in Nido and Toddler Programs, I’ve developed a deep passion for the Montessori philosophy, which guides my approach to teaching and leadership.

As a School Director, I’m passionate about creating a warm, engaging environment and community where both children and educators can thrive and grow independently.

Can't say enough wonderful things about Castle! All 3 of my kids have attended this school, my oldest is now 16. I feel like they have always been ahead of their peers academically once they started attending public school. They have all been happy here and didn't want to leave!

We've been through 3 schools in the last 17 months and we are so pleased with Castle Montessori. Mrs. Aimee has been amazing. She is teaching my 17 month old speak Spanish and he is soo happy in her classroom. As a mom, it feels so good knowing that your child is happy with the teacher and wants to go play. Tara the front desk is also very sweet and has the biggest smile on her face. It make us feel so welcomed and makes a world of a difference especially the mornings when I'm stressed thinking about going to work. I can't say enough great things about the management and Mrs. Aimee!! They are all so so so so so so great!!!

Castle Montessori has been a true blessing for our family, and we couldn't be happier with the experience our little one has had there. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, nurturing atmosphere that radiates care and professionalism. Miss Aimee is simply phenomenal. Her patience, creativity, and genuine love for teaching shine through every day. Our little one seems to be thriving in her classroom. It's clear she puts her heart into everything she does, and we are so grateful for her impact on his growth. She is also teaching him Spanish as a bonus! We also had the pleasure of having Miss Tammie, his previous teacher, and she set such a strong foundation for him. Her calm, reassuring presence helped him transition so smoothly, and she always went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and supported. We still talk about how lucky we were to have her guiding him during those early days. Christine, the Director, runs the school with the perfect balance of warmth and professionalism. She is incredibly approachable, always open to feedback, and truly invested in every child's experience. You can tell she deeply cares about building a strong community and fostering a positive, enriching environment for both students and the staff. And of course, Tara at the front desk is a ray of sunshine. Her cheerful demeanor and helpful attitude make drop-offs and pick-ups a breeze. She always has a kind word and a smile, and her friendly presence is such a comforting part of our daily routine. Castle Montessori is a place where children are truly seen, supported, and inspired-and it's because of people like Miss Aimee, Miss Tammie, Christine, and Tara. We're beyond grateful to be part of this wonderful school!
