My daughter attended Smaller Scholar Montessori starting at age 3, and we left recently due to our move. She learnt a lot from school. They have a nice school program as well as parents nights where you get to know what your child learns at the school. Teachers are patient and very responsive to our requests. I highly recommend this school.

Smaller Scholars has been my top choice when I want to enroll my kid for a Montessori education. Knowing about the school from lot of my friends, in my personal experience this has been by far the best & disciplined school around Houston. The teachers here are highly experienced and is associated with the school for more than 20+ years. Each class is well organized/scheduled by them. They know how to develop creativity & interest in a kid and teach them in the right way!! Ms.Monica is the best teacher for my son, she trains him in such a way that we see so much improvement in his behavioral & verbal aspect. His way of approach to things have changed definitely bcuz of her. We are lucky & thankful. Ms.Michelle is the sweetest of all, she takes personal care of every kid around, love to be apart of this school always 😊

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at Smaller Scholars! Our 3 year old son has flourished while attending here. The staff and teachers are so knowledgeable and truly care about each student. It’s a great learning environment that is not too overwhelming in size. We absolutely love it here!
