Welcome to a School Parents Can Trust
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. At Lycee Montessori in Cypress, TX, we understand the trust parents place in us. That’s why we’re proud to be recognized as a Member School of the American Montessori Society (AMS), the leading organization for authentic Montessori education in the United States.
Being an AMS Member School means that we meet recognized national standards for Montessori education — from teacher training and curriculum to child safety and community involvement. This membership is more than just a badge; it represents our commitment to quality, transparency, and genuine Montessori values.
Why AMS Membership Matters for Families
Not all schools that use the word “Montessori” follow the true Montessori method. Unfortunately, some daycares and preschools adopt the name for marketing purposes without adhering to the philosophy and structure that Dr. Maria Montessori developed.
By choosing an AMS Member School like Lycee Montessori, parents can feel confident that their child is receiving an authentic, research-backed education in a safe and nurturing environment.

| AMS Standard | What It Means for Your Child |
|---|---|
| Teacher Training |
All teachers receive Montessori-specific training that goes beyond general early childhood education. |
| Prepared Environments |
Classrooms are carefully designed with Montessori materials that encourage exploration and independence. |
| Child-Centered Learning |
Each child’s pace, interests, and abilities are respected, creating personalized learning experiences. |
| Ongoing Professional Development |

How AMS Montessori Differs From Traditional Preschool
Parents often ask, “How is Montessori different from a regular preschool or daycare?”
Here’s a simple comparison:
| Traditional Preschool/Daycare | AMS Montessori at Lycee |
|---|---|
| Teacher-led lessons | Child-led, hands-on learning |
| Same pace for all students | Individualized pace & personalized goals |
| Play-focused with limited structure | Purposeful play + structured exploration |
| Grouped strictly by age | Multi-age classrooms encourage peer learning |
| Limited parent involvement | Open communication and community partnership |
This difference is why Montessori children often display greater independence, stronger problem-solving skills, and higher adaptability compared to peers in traditional programs.

We understand that families want reassurance, especially in today’s world, where online reviews and news stories influence decisions. At Lycee Montessori, we address this by focusing on transparency, quality, and open communication:
- Parents are encouraged to tour our classrooms and see Montessori in action.
- We share clear information about our programs, tuition, and policies.
- We actively listen to parent feedback and continuously improve.
- Our AMS membership is public, verifiable, and ongoing.
This commitment helps parents feel confident that they are choosing a school that not only says it follows Montessori — but proves it every day.
