About Sunrise Montessori in Round Rock, TX

Sunrise is a Montessori school with a happy, confident, and credentialed team that teaches life and academic skills. At Sunrise Montessori, your child will feel safe, nurtured, and immersed in learning. Our Teachers make sure your child gains an excellent education in a caring environment.

A POSITIVE & NURTURING ENVIRONMENT

Our trained, credentialed Teachers are always enthused to see your child. They love guiding students in exploration and learning. At Sunrise Montessori, we believe a positive, nurturing environment is necessary for education to flourish.

LEADING THROUGH DISCOVERY

Montessori is not a brand, but an educational method focused on self-directed exploration and learning through discovery. We believe that the Montessori method offers parents a better alternative to traditional preschool and daycare organizations. A Montessori education fulfills the engagement needs of children and prepares them for the future. Give your child the best preparation available for them to succeed and thrive in their education and in life.

  • BAMBINI LEVEL – Children 9 to 18 months

We Care & Help Each Other

The atmosphere at Sunrise Montessori is like that of a family: we care for and help each other in a positive, reaffirming way. We encourage this characteristic because it extends the learning everywhere and with anyone. Education is not limited to a designated teacher or instructor, but primarily performed by the child themselves. This approach promotes learning to continue through the home, as well.

Our Staff is Family

At Sunrise Montessori, we believe that treating our team well will reflect in your child’s success and create an educational environment that allows them to thrive. We have higher pay, lower turnover, higher staff morale, and more credentialed teachers because we care about our Team Members like family. This family mindset extends from us to our Teachers to you and your child.

Our school is clean and tidy, allowing for creativity for our students to flourish. We would love for your child to experience growth and thrive in our Montessori environment.

Sunrise Montessori loosely follows the Round Rock ISD holiday schedule.

Melissa Carrell

Assistant Director

I started working in early childhood education in 2014 working in a preschool while pursuing my degree for early childhood education. After graduating from ASU, I taught 4th grade math and science. After moving to the Austin area in 2022, I took a different route and worked for CPS. Even though that was one of the most difficult jobs I have ever had, I decided that I needed to work with children in a different way and this led me to Sunrise Montessori. During my time with Sunrise, I started out as a floater, then an Admin Assistant and now to Assistant Director.

Early childhood education is rewarding for several reasons. First, it is a period of immense growth and development in a child’s life, and being part of that journey is incredibly rewarding. Witnessing the curiosity, wonder, and eagerness to learn in young children is inspiring. Early childhood education sets the foundation for a child’s future academic success and overall well-being. Being able to facilitate this growth and help shape a child’s future in a positive way is incredibly fulfilling. Since young children learn best through play and exploration, educators have the opportunity to design engaging and interactive learning experiences that cater to their developmental needs. The impact of early childhood education extends far beyond the classroom, influencing a child’s lifelong learning journey and contributing to their success and happiness in the future.

I like to cook, take walks with my dogs, travel and explore different states and cities.

I can’t recommend this school enough! If you are searching for an environment that is full of love, laughter and education you have came to the right place. Your child will engage in fun hands on activities, learn to become self sufficient, and most importantly how to respect themselves and their surroundings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️10x10 Recommend!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is not a paid review! #TeamPuffins

We absolutely adore Sunrise Montessori. My daughter started going here at 12 months and she loves her teachers, Ms. Raejean and Ms. Maddy. The teachers take gentle care of the children, the facility is sparkling clean, and the admin staff is kind and courteous. A good example of this is on my daughter’s first day, I was crying as I was leaving, and the school’s manager gave me a big reassuring hug on my way out. Little gestures like that show that the staff is full of genuinely kind people. The school takes safety precautions seriously. If my daughter so much as bumps her head or scrapes her knee, I get a call letting me know of the incident. They are diligent about keeping parents informed. Can’t recommend this school enough. I am already sad about the day my daughter won’t get to go here anymore!

If you are looking for the BEST Montessori school stop looking any further, you have found the one! The director Laura is amazing! along with her fantastic staff and all the teachers as well. This school completely reflects the total approach to teaching children. Every day she sets the example of what a total encompassing compassionate atmosphere of learning should be. My grandson has been to a few other school/daycares and nothing compares they honestly have a love of children here and it shows in everything they do. This is a community school for everyone, don't miss the opportunity to enroll your child at this school trust me when I say you would be doing a disservice to your family if you went somewhere else.
