Montessori Kids Universe Shavano

Parents, be very careful with this daycare, especially if your children are between 1 and 2 years old. The administration does not provide Montessori materials for your children to learn and develop their skills. The $200 they ask for each year stays with the school but they don’t buy anything. They only provide plastic toys to entertain the children. The caregivers have no certification in early childhood education. The food they offer consists mostly of cookies, so if you notice your child gaining weight, it's because they're not being fed as promised. Ask about the materials your child will use each day, because apart from not having enough, some are hidden due to lack of supplies. The diaper creams are used on all the children, and if a bottle falls in the yard or in a dirty area, it is not cleaned. They also mix the bottles between the children. Additionally, in the classrooms for younger children, the teachers mistreat them by calling them dirty or disgusting and pushing them around. The children who are punished are made to sit in a chair every day, unable to move and tied up, while those they like are allowed to do whatever they want. They do not keep the play areas clean; everything is filthy, including the mattresses where your children sleep. Ask about what your child will do each day and request that the tree outside be removed, as the children put the seeds in their mouths and could choke. Be careful—it is not what they promise!

This is such an amazing school. My son was coming here since he was a NB through 2 year old classroom. We had to move because we moved which made it super difficult for us to drive 30 min. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this school. They made me feel safe. I would love to thank MKU Shavano for all the wonderful things they have done for my family, especially my son. AMAZING School !

We love MKU Shavano!! We have felt so at home here, and dropping my almost 1 year old off here every day has left me feeling so at peace and at ease. Everyone of the teachers and team are so friendly and welcoming with everyone.

Beware the only thing the owners care is loading their pockets!

I absolutely recommend MKU Shavano Park! My daughter has attended since she was 11 months old and the love and care the entire staff has shown our family is constant and something I appreciate beyond words. We have tried other daycares/schools and we returned to MKU because my daughter feels loved, cared for, and is learning so many amazing skills. She has so much fun and is learning to be so independent! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you MKU!

We have had the most wonderful experience at Montessori Kids Universe (MKU). The love, care, and learning that our child has received here have been absolutely top-notch. The staff and caregivers at MKU are extremely professional, loving, and caring. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children. Our child has thrived in MKU, learning and growing every day thanks to the dedicated and compassionate team. If we weren't living so far away, we would keep her here for eternity. We highly recommend Montessori Kids Universe to any parent looking for a place where their child will be genuinely cared for and educated. Thank you, MKU, for everything you have done for our family. You have made an indelible mark on our hearts.

Our oldest has been here since it opened. She’s developed beautiful friendships and loved her teachers. Our youngest has been here since 12 weeks and both of their fluency in Spanish comprehension is great! We love this school!

Our little one loves his school and learns so much everyday. The teachers are amazing and kind. We recommend MKU Shavano to anyone looking for a school for their little ones.
