Children of the Woodlands

We love this school! Our daughter has been here since Prek and is now in their 1st grade program (a pilot program that will hopefully go thru 4th grade). The teachers are nurturing childrens minds and souls at this school. Curriculum is top notch. Our daughter looks forward to school every day and actually misses school on the weekends. They make learning fun..classrooms are clean and new..very bright, comfy, and cheery atmosphere. Each classroom has its own bathroom/sink so children are able to wash hands frequently..therefore our daughter doesn't catch the germs and virus' that most schools have. Linda does an excellent job running this school and loves children. All of the teachers know my daughter's name, even though they have never taught her. This school feels like a family to parents, teachers, and children. I have tried other private schools and public schools in my past and this school is by far the best on every level. This is a difficult school to get into, but well worth the wait!

Finished our son's third year here (daughter's first) and I have to say that I am quite pleased with the cleanliness of the facilities and the kindness of the staff. They seem very attentive and caring and were quite available for both us and the kids. I'm looking forward to another great year! Which is the only negative, some of my friend's children are on wait lists.

Wonderful school -- loving, nurturing, developmental approach to educating the students. This school will meet your child where he/she is and encourage that child to grow. I have had 4 children attend this school and we have always had a wonderful experience. The staff is professional and everyone loves what they do!

A sweet, church-based preschool, very similar (actually, almost identical) to the free Noah's Nook daycare service this church provides for parents attending church functions. As a preschool, it is above-average for this suburban community in Texas, but may not meet instructional expectations of parents coming from either coast.

Our two-year old has been twice a week for several months now, and we have seen an enormous mental, creative, and spiritual growth in her ever since. She absolutely loves what she calls 'church', or 'school', or 'Miss Fran's house'. The teachers and assistants are very caring and nurturing of their student's growth. We are very happy with C.O.W !

My child enjoys attending this clean preschool.The staff is very professional and loving. There is a lot of hands-on activities. On the downside, this school lacks crafts activities and academic instruction, and communication between teacher and parent is poor, in my experience.

This is an amazing school! I am absolutely flabberghasted that an actual parent only rated it three stars! I am curious if your child has attended any other programs in the area? I disagree with the disillusion that there is no curriculum. You must not have attended the curriculum meeting at the beginning of the year. Yes, this is a play-based facility but numerous amounts of research show that is the most developmentally appropriate approach to learning and brain development for preschoolers! My son is in his second year at the program and loves it! He was painfully shy last year and the teachers were so nurturing and very intentional to make it a positive first school experience for him. He is now very outgoing and even eager to get to school. His teachers this year are equally as wonderful! Also a great school for children with special needs! Bravo, COW!

My son attended for the first time last year and is enrolled to begin his second year. All the teachers are great and very patient! I would not send my children anywhere else! And, boy are they organized!

My daughter has been at this school for almost 4 years now and I still love the school. The teachers and staff are great with the children. My child loves to go to school everyday. I am very pleased with the material she is learning.
