Wonderland Montessori Academy

I must admit that I made my decision to enroll my child at this school asked off some of the reviews mentioned, etc. the truth of the matter is «Don’t believe the hype!» Wonderland Montessori School in McKinney has tremendous factors that I as well as any parent would find intolerable I feel the teachers’ appearances should be professional and most importantly appropriate for a school environment.
The type of money I’ve paid for my child’s education should respectfully be looked upon as me being a parent with standards. However the kids at Wonderland get to view their teachers with body piercings, see thru provocative shirts and tops, and multiple tattoos over their bodies.
The Montessori should be called daycare because of the fact the children are not receiving a quality Montessori curriculum let alone structure. Children are behaving wildly, having complete control over their classroom, hitting teachers as well as other kids with multiple objects, clearly substantiating dismissal from such a «quality» school. There seems to be no planning of events that involve the parents and their kids. Communication is not consistent, let alone any communication of any kind whatsoever.
I have found on several occasions staff members not present in specific key areas where they clearly should be. Who holds a conference with parents in the «hallway,» who throws events together spur of the moment? Clearly there is no leadership at this school. Clearly there is no set guidelines for the classroom structure and curriculum, and clearly the communication I have rec’d in talking to multiple parents is that we are no longer going to «Wonder» What in God’s name is happening at that damn school… Wonderland…and it’s no «Wonder» why I like many other parents are headed outta there and enrolling in a proper environment such as Starwood Montessori in Frisco, where my money is being used for a good cause– my kid! Teachers are in uniforms, there is structure in the classroom, the setting is truly a «school-​atmosphere.»
If you are a parent wanting to feel good about your child’s education in a Montessori environment you need to steer clear of that circus act called Wonderland!

I cannot speak highly enough of Wonderland! My son is 7 months and started at 4 months so I am new, however the staff is fantastic. Just about the entire staff knows my child and his name along with me and my husband. I love all of the security features in just getting your kids into and out of the school! In all of the day area I toured (which was a lot) no place had that kind of security or smelled so clean and fresh.
This may seem odd but they don’t go overboard on parades and soooo many crafts. They do really cute and inventive crafts that everyone loves and you don’t feel like all you get is million finger paintings!
I feel they truly care and love my son. I enjoy seeing them every morning I drop off and when my husband picks up!
