Castle Montessori of McKinney serves McKinney, Texas and surrounding areas including Allen, Melissa, Prosper, Fairview and the master planned communities of Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and StarCreek.
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, manipulative learning materials that encourage the child to discover and learn during these crucial early childhood years. Montessori teachers are trained to observe each child and to put them in touch with things they are most interested in learning; the results are joy, immense satisfaction, and excitement about learning.
We believe teachers (Directresses) are the very backbone of any educational organization. Their love for children, coupled with their knowledge and experience is absolutely crucial to the child development process. The certified teaching staff at each Castle Montessori school is comprised of a group of highly experienced and dedicated professionals who work conscientiously to challenge each student on every level to achieve academic and personal excellence in a loving/nurturing environment.
