Coppell Montessori Academy

We toured CMA with Director Vickie. She greeted us and our child through a cordial conversation. In the tour, we shared that our child had a speech disability that she's grown out of. We proposed to have our licensed child psychologist observe our daughter in class for a day to make sure she is speaking without inhibition. Vickie welcomed our proposal and said "No problem". However, later in the week, after our John Hopkins child psychologist started to make school visit plans with Directory Vickie and admin team, out of the blue, Vickie suddenly emailed us "After consideration, we do not believe CAM is a good fit for your child." Then Vickie called me 10 minutes later and changed the story line, AGAIN. She claimed that there is a boy in class that is a little rough and could even hurt an adult. She claimed that boy was the reason she thinks the school is not a good fit for new children. This time Director Vickie further invited us to try the school for a month, yet another change of story line. She forgot she already mentioned to us in the tour that another class also has vacancy so it doesn’t really change the bottom line if she now found an excuse in 1 classroom and forgot to find excuse in the other classroom. A suspicious-amount of inconsistencies!! PSA FOR ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE PARENTS: Assuming Director Vickie was truthful in her explanation about the rough boy: Since they know the boy could be a problem to other children, why do they still choose to keep this boy in your children's class? Do they care about existing children’s safety? Assuming her explanation about the rough boy is just a decoy, then what are they trying to hide? Do they now feel exposed to have a licensed child psychologist observe their operation for a day? Or do they feel unjustified to reject a child with a now-recovered disability?

We loved CMA! The teachers are great and are really interested in the growth and development of every child. We have great respect for Ms. Siddhi, my son adored her. Ms. Vickie and Ms. Aubrey are always helpful and responsive as well!

Our family has a long history of experience with Montessori education and because of that, we were very selective in choosing a school for our youngest child. We looked at numerous schools in the area, but Coppell Montessori was the only one that we saw that was practicing authentic Montessori in a cozy and calm setting. Our daughter began as an older baby in the infant class and Vickie was watchful and intuitive in transitioning her to the toddler class exactly when she was ready. Her toddler teachers have been warm and nurturing, while also fostering her independence. Dropoffs are calm and easy because she enjoys the school, her teachers, and her friends so very much. From an administrative standpoint Vickie and Aubrey are very communicative and helpful. Even if you are new to Montessori, the school is peaceful, nurturing, and enriching. If you are initiated in Montessori practices, you will see that they go beyond childcare and implement true Montessori education that will help your child thrive and become a confident member of a real community.

CMA has been a great place for my baby. I had to go back to work after 6 weeks PP and I was hesitant to leave him. Mrs. Funmi made me feel comfortable with leaving my baby in her care. The Montessori curriculum fits my family values - no screen time, lots of tummy time, signing, and playtime with friends. The room for infants is huge and there’s lots of room for crawling around. After looking at other places this was a huge plus.

We have been at CMA for three years and have loved it. It feels like family. My child is consistently happy when it’s a school day (both at drop off and pick up) and that’s a testament to how safe and supported she feels at Coppell Montessori Academy.

My daughter absolutely love this place. The management and teachers put great effort to cultivate learning a fun experience at this facility. Special thanks to Ms.Shailaja and Sujatha, they both are wonderful teachers and lots of appreciation for their efforts.

We love Coppell Montessori Academy. As a mom of three kids I have tried different daycares. Let me tell you this, CMA is the best one. Super clean classes, friendly staff and great curriculum. We have been with them for over a year now and we are very happy and satisfied. Thank you for making my kids feel like home!

Our son has blossomed at CMA this past year. Caring teachers and staff, strong curriculum, and a welcoming space for kids to learn while still having fun. We’re excited to have both our boys grow at this school.

One of the best daycares/Montessori in Coppell. The rooms are spacious, teachers are kind and the management very welcoming. Highly recommended for your kid’s initial years.

We love CMA. We toured couple of preschool before CMA when we we enrolling her to childcare and both me and my husband like the environment right away. CMA is very clean and spacious which was important to us. My daughter was in CMA for almost three years before she started Kinder this year. She absolutely love the school and still wants to go back. Ms Vicki is a great principle and always accommodating the needs for kids and parents. Couple of times I forgot to order lunch and they made sure to provide lunch. I like that there are some rules that are maintained properly such as no cell phone, not to enter class, making sure allergy free ingredients ( to name a few, my nephew is anaphylactic and I know how important this is, lot of places are just allergy free in name but they don't practice properly). I cannot thank enough to Ms Siddhi for taking care of the kids in such a thriving environment. Ms Siddhi would make the kid feel special and every night I would hear all about her nonstop. Every morning my daughter look forward to go to school because of Ms Siddhi and Ms Neelima. Summer program is also great. Everyweek there are lot of engaging activity for the kids although regular teachers might be in vacation. I highly recommend CMA.
