Our lead teachers are Montessori certified and our faculty have made a commitment to treat each child with love and respect. The goal of our teachers is to empower the child by giving them the tools and capability to be self-sufficient in turn teaching them how to learn. The motto of our students is help me to do it by myself.
The classrooms at Cypress Creek Montessori are fully equipped with materials designed by Dr. Maria Montessori. They are made of wood and organic materials and designed to be attractive to the students captivating their interest to learn. The hands" wrote Dr. Maria Montessori “are the instruments of man’s intelligence” and so the majority of learning is hands-on. There is a natural progression in the academics in which the student may advance at his/her own pace. The academic areas of focus include language math practical life sensorial science and geography. Indirect aims include developing fine motor skills balance and grace; and most importantly the life-long learning habit of focus and concentration.

Classrooms are arranged in multi-aged groupings so that the younger children learn from and are inspired by the older children and the older children boost their self-esteem by being role models for the younger children.
