Dear Cypress Creek Montessori Staff:
This letter is for the purpose of expressing our great appreciation for the enriched academic instruction and warm social-emotional atmosphere the staff provided for my granddaughter, Alexandria. It helped her development tremendously, and she will reap a lifelong benefit from your instruction.
When Alexandria came to Cypress Creek Montessori over six months ago, she was behind in her skills in several areas, and needed a great deal of staff time and attention. Ms. Yeun and other staff kindly gave her the individual attention she needed, and met with me and her mother often to work together as a team. You pointed the way and guided us in obtaining diagnosis and help for her to receive the additional tutoring she needed in speech therapy, and physical/occupational therapy at the Children's Hospital of Austin and later at Seton Cedar Park. We worked together to shape her behavior so that she could enjoy and benefit from the play and school activities with other children. Consequently, she is now up to her age level and doing very well.
Alexandria is going to seattle, Washington, with her mother for a number of months; however, we simply cannot part without saying how much your help, instruction and patience have helped Alexandria. We expecially appreciate Ms. Yeun's teachings and care. We have a good deal of confidence now that Alexandria will do well in Kindergarten and beyond.
Please accept our family's sincere thanks.

Dear Ms. Rim,
Ana's wonderful three years at Cypress Creek Montessori come to a close, as she will start Kindergarten at Faubion elementary this fall.
She will start Kinder being able to count unassisted to 100, she knows all the letters of the alphabet and their corresponding phonemes, can read short phonetic words, knows all the continents, and numerous other facts as well as valuable life skills and positive personal habits, such as respect for self and others, putting things up when she is done, and collaborating with her peers.
You and your staff show genuine care and respect for the children, and through the PAC and classroom representatives you have ensured high parent involvement and participation in the functioning of the school.
Thank you to you, to Ms. Yeun, to Tonya, and to all your teachers and staff for making sure Ana had a wonderful and fun learning experience. Her life will always be richer for the strong foundation she has received at your school.
May all of you be filled with happiness, and may your school continue to prosper.
Sincerely,
Alejandra Martin

Our younger son is in primary section at CCM and our older son graduated from the CC Montessori last year. We find the CCM has an excellent environment for early childhood development and advanced learning following the Montessori program.
Our kids love the learning they receive every day from very dedicated and well qualified teachers and the caring and nurturing staff, for toddlers and primary classes. Every day they pick from a range of learning materials related to reading, writing, numbers, math, science, creative art work and playing. One of the favorites they especially enjoy is the show and tell on every Fridays.
CCM provides very safe, secure and well structured environment which makes it not just a true stepping stone but also provides an early strong foundation to learning and for easy transitioning to elementary school. At the end of the program at CCM they have a proper graduation ceremony for kids headed to elementary school. Our older son experienced that. He really matured and developed advanced skills in reading, writing and math and socially as well at the CCM School. This made his transitioning to elementary school as a natural progression. He goes to Spicewood Elementary and is performing at advanced levels, all kudos to his teachers and the CCM. Our younger one joined in as a toddler and made it through with potty training and development through loving and caring of his teachers. He is now in primary class and learning new things every day.
We found the management is committed and consciously delivers on the promises made during enrollment; on matters of kid?s development and learning, parents and teacher conference, healthy teachers to student ratio, teaching of languages program; Chinese and Spanish. They have an active PTA that meets regularly and bring matters of importance with the management.
