Primary

Age Level: 3 – 4.5 Years

The Montessori Primary Classroom is a "living room" for children. Children choose their work from among the self-correcting materials displayed on open shelves, and they work in specific work areas. Over a period of time, the children develop into a "normalized community," working with high concentration and few interruptions. Normalization is the process whereby a child moves from being undisciplined to self-disciplined, from disordered to ordered, from distracted to focused, through work in the environment.

The process occurs through repeated work with materials that captivate the child's attention. For some children, this inner change may take place quite suddenly, leading to deep concentration.

Parent Reviews

"I have twins. Choosing Preston Creek Montessori was the right choice! The management worked with me on the financial requirements to attend this school It was also conveniently located close to my work. My children started going here when they were in Ms. Selena's class and stayed until they were able to go to Kindergarten near our home. My twins have learned a phenomenal amount from the Montessori concept, and it has given them a concrete foundation for learning. They have tested successfully to join several magnet and VIAL schools within Garland ISD, and this is due to the excellent teaching at Preston Creek. I appreciate all that Ms. Pam, and her staff have done for my children. We miss our Montessori friends and teachers dearly!"
"We love Preston Creek Montessori a lot. My son joined this daycare when he was 15 months. He is now 3 years. This school is simply wonderful. It provides an exceptional environment for children to learn and grow. All the teachers does amazing job of taking care of kids and teaching them. Teachers are very loving, caring and nurturing. My son has learnt so much from this school. We are always amazed on seeing the work that he does in the school. The administrators are professional and very responsive. The communication between the school and parents is excellent. Miss Pam,the director of this school, is very actively involved in the school. She treats every child in this school as her own child. In short, Miss Pam and the teachers and staff are just outstanding and committed to each and every child development. Our experience has been excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone."
"We looked at 10 daycares in North West Plano for our Sophia before she was born in 2010. Preston Creek stood out from the moment we walked in the door. The cleanest of all of them and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. Ms Pam was very straightforward and the rate they offered was the lowest of all ten. Two years later, we added our Preemie Rori to the class. Struggling to thrive while my wife fights Brain Cancer, Rori eats the most every day in the care of Ms Juanna and the infant team. Sophia has moved into her 4th Class and where she is learning, growing and excited to "go to school" every single day. Preston Creek is a Godsend. I hear all the stories of problems from my friends and family at other daycares. In over two years, I have seen nothing but outstanding care for our little precious girls from Preston Creek. You will NOT find a better place for your kids than Preston Creek."
"Absolutely FANTASTIC environment. This atmosphere was perfect for our son. It was very safe and comfortable setting, but was also very structure and challenging. We compare all other schools to the standards that PCM set."
"PCM is a great pre-school and day care for kids age up to 6. In Plano this is the best Montessori around. I have tried other Montessori too for my school but that did not work and I came back to this school again for my 4 year old daughter. Its got very spacious and modern setup. The staff is well trained and courteous. I am the repeat customer of the this school since Aug 2010."
"I've never written an online review before, but this school is so wonderful that I had to share my opinion! Before I found PCM I was getting frantic - I had visited 10 other daycares in the area and there was nowhere I was willing to leave my daughter, so I was contemplating not going back to work. Luckily, I read the good online reviews so I stopped in - within the first minute of being there I knew I'd found the perfect place. The teachers are so loving and wonderful and Ms. Pam is an amazing administrator. My daughter started going when she was 5 months old and has been there for over a year. She LOVES going and I know she's more advanced in walking, talking and communicating than if she was at home with me all day. In the 1-year old class, she has already started with vocabularly flash-cards and started educational learning (along with fun!) so I know she'll be ready for school when the time comes. This has been a truly great start for my daughter! Without one ounce of hesitation, I'd 100% recommend this daycare!!"
"My daughter was among the first to enroll in Preston Creek Montessori, and it has been a happy 2 1/2 years for her. My wife and I love the school's cleaness, spacious room, friendly teachers, and caring staff. We particularly love Ms. Yenni from the 2-3 age class as she is always kind and caring. As my kid is now moving to the 3-6 age class, she will be dearly missed. Thank you Ms. Pam and your staff."
"My daughter has been there for 1 year now and she is far more advanced than her playmates at other schools. She knows geography (continents, countries etc) and tells vivid facts about the culture in each. She can write her name and teaches her friends to write their names. She is eager to seek out opportunities to learn. Her teacher has written books on parenting and gives us practical advice for incorporating learning at home. The staff is loving and stern; when going through a marital separation, the staffed quickly took us (parents and child) and helped out through an emotional time. The kids are well mannered, intelligent and always clean. We are even considering sending her to kindergarten at Preston Creek because the benefits far outweigh the cost. Have I mentioned that my 1 year old son attends the school as well? He's been there since birth and I already see the potential."
"We recently relocated from the east coast and the first thing we finalised was this school for our kinder-gartener. The staff are very informative and helpful. The director and the assistants are all down to earth people. The teachers have excellent experience in handling children. Even though,it's been only a few weeks that our child started the school, he is already learning a variety of challenging facts. The pleasant front office staff helped us find a decent apartment and are still helping us settle down in Plano. The director and the teacher go beyond their way and help us find activities for our child. We are glad we found a great place as the foundation of school education."
"We found this school through a reference, and they are good! The staff is friendly and accomodating and teachers pay special attention to the new kids their classes. We have twin boys, and they actually like going to the school every morning. What is most amazing to us is the speed at which the boys are picking up new words, both having a speech delay. They would not come to anybody except dad/mom/nanny, and now they go running into the classrooms, have started playing with other kids, and even eat stuff something other than home-food. All this in just a few weeks! The director is always available with excellent recommendations for the children. We are happy about the school and would recommend it to other parents, too."
"You need to view this beautiful new school to fully grasp the care and warmth. My daughter is a student at Preston Creek and my experience with the teachers and owner has been far above par. The owner of the school has graciously spared no expense in providing the cleanest and safest environment we had viewed. After interviewing over 5 dozen locations, I am confident that this school provides the best activities, most loving place for my child to spend the day. EVERY child has a smile on their faces and I am never disappointed with the welcome we receive each time we enter the building. If you have older toddlers who are interested in extra-curricular activities, you will also love what the school offers in dance, computers, karate, and much more. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for their nurturing care. I feel 100% safe and confident that we have found the best Montessori school in the area."
"I was very picky when moving to the area about a year and half ago. I visited over 15 different schools in the Plano area to find the perfect school for my daughter. We absolutely love this school and the staff is always courteous to everyone. Our daughter is so happy and runs into the building in the mornings to get to class. She is always singing after school and telling us what she did that day. She is only 2 but is far exceeding our expectations of her learning. When my mother comes from out of town to pick up my daughter she always to show her around and let her see what she is learning. We are so pleased with the school and have recommended it to friends in the area."
