This is the best school you will ever find. Teachers treat kids with respect and love, and you can actually feel that they care and love your kids. All kids enrolled are very good as well. The owner of the school teaches as well and set the learning and respectful mood of the school. - Jeff Kook

After searching for months for the perfect school to transition our 2 yr old into from in home child care we came across Clarissa Guidry and her wonderful staff. Our little one was welcomed with love and that extra one on one attention that was especially needed early on. We couldn't ask for a better school, we are amazed everyday with what our child has accomplished and continues to learn. - Teresa Garza

What a wonderful school! Clarissa and her staff are fabulous. The love and attention they give the children is unbelieveable. My children love going there. I know the foundation they are building for my children's education will be solid. I would highly recommend them to anyone. - Cindy J

I think this school is awesome! They really care for the kids and take a personal interest in not only how they are doing in the school, but also about the child as a whole. I highly recommend Lakeview to parents looking for a good environment for their child. - April Dilli

I would definitely recommend this school to any family. My 2 and a half year old loves it here and the teachers are wonderful! She learns so much and the school way out-did my expectations, I did not expect my daughter to be able to do what she does at such a young age. I always wanted to take her to a Montessori school but thought it would be outrageous to be able to afford but this school is not and I am very grateful that I can send my daughter to such a good school. There is no feeling better than seeing her be happy when I drop her off in the morning, makes my day start out perfect knowing she is happy and safe! - Heather Steinfeld

Lakeview Montessori is cozy with a relaxed environment that feels like home. The staff is great and really takes a personal interest in the students. It is obvious that the students both love and feel loved by their teachers and staff. Clarissa, the directress, always makes the time to discuss my questions or concerns as my children are both relatively new to the school. They previously attended a Mother's Day Out program; but, they really love the hands on activities at Lakeview Montessori that foster self-confidence and independence. In addition, my children have had numerous, wonderful, enrichment opportunities this summer including: visits from a snake guy, juggler, musician, a member of the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra, and Noah's Ark. Lakeview Montessori has been a truly wonderful experience for my two children this summer and we are all looking forward to more adventures this school year.

I enrolled my daughter approx. one year ago, and I have never been more comfortable and pleased with my daughter's environment, her nurturing, and her education. Clarissa, the owner and toddler directress, is a gem of a person who was made for understanding and nurturing children. The facility, indoors and out, is extremely "homey" and charming. My daughter says on her way to school," I want to go to "Rissa's house." That shows how much she feels at home there. No matter what the child, I feel that each receives personal attention and guidance. This also goes for the parents when we need a little encouragement, as well! One of the best kept secrets around!!! I love it! I wish I could go to school there. - jocelyn

Lakeview Montessori offers the best in Montessori teaching. The staff is incrediable, and the owner/director (Clarissa Guidry) of Lakeview Montessori is an exceptional individual. She takes the time to listen to you and your child's concerns, and always keeps you informed of changes in the school.
Before I found Lakeview Montessori, my son was enrolled at a childcare center that basically treated each child like a number and the childcare provider's had no control of the children, it was chaos. I was not happy and my son was not happy. Thankfully I found Lakeview Montessori. As soon as I walked into Lakeview Montessori I felt comfortable about the environment and the staff, but more importantly my son was happy. The children are always working on lessons or doing something constructive, and always seem to be happy.
I highly recommend Lakeview Montessori on the Hill.

Clarissa Guidry was my 2 year olds teacher at another Montessori school in Houston 2 years ago. When Clarissa became the director of Lakeview Montessori, I felt my daugher's security blanket in our move from Austin to Houston was gone. So I moved her to Lakeview and her brilliant joy returned as she was with Clarissa again. Not only does Clarissa provide an excellent Montessori grounding for children but she also supports their emotional needs. As a professor of Education, and a Montessori supporter, I cannot praise and recommend Lakeview to enough people who want the best for their children. I say this because the ages 0 to 6 years are the most important foundation building time of a life. Now we have an 18 month old who goes to Lakeview as well, my other child is now 4 years old and still loving Lakeview even though we drive 25 minutes to get there and 25 mintues back home. - Margie Udden

When I had to return to work after staying home with my son for 27 months, it was a difficult transition for our family. But, the school's director made the change as easy as she possibly could. She took a sincere interest in my son and it showed that she genuinely cares for him. She was very intuitive on the stages my son would go through during this transition period which helped me to anticipate his reactions. Now, my son looks forward to going to school and sometimes doesn't want to leave! The staff at LMS is very knowledgable and positive. They really do create a great learning environment where my son can grow and develop. I can't thank them enough! - Anna

My son has been attending LMS for over a year now and it is the best thing that could have happened! Previously he was enrolled in a daycare as an infant and then at another Montessori school here in Sugar Land and both schools were lacking something in quality and personalized attention. LMS was exactly what we needed. It has a small, family-like atmosphere and the children learn so much. I can actually see my son progressing in his learning and application skills everyday. The staff is very knowledgeable and caring and we could not imagine life without them! - Stacy

My son has been enrolled in LMS since he was about 20 months old (he is now 3 years old). He was in a home care environment prior to attending LMS. I saw an immediate change in him once he started attending LMS. He is excited to go to school every day instead of crying when I drop him off in the morning. Developmentally he has shown tremendous gains. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. The classes are small yet diverse. I feel very fortunate to have found a school that my son not only enjoys attending, but is learning in on a daily basis. - Amber

My husband and I are very pleased with the quality care provided by the staff members at Lake View Montessori. The Director has over 20 years of teaching experience in the Montessori environment; a huge advantage to our community. LMS is a small school, which works out very good for us since we enjoy getting to know all of the staff members and being able to interact with the teachers on a daily basis. It's a real comfort for us knowing that our girls are in such a loving and nurture environment. - Wendy
