Katy GT Academy & Montessori

★★★★★Zachary Sigmundik

Our sons have been scholars at Katy GT Academy since April 2024 and Oct 2025. Our oldest chose GTA after a poor experience at a more expensive preschool near our neighborhood. After a year of tearful dropoffs, we had no idea a preschool experience could be this positive. Since you're likely a parent reading this, let me aim at the things that will matter most to you. Safety- your child will be known and kept safe. Miss Mary has been working with the same teachers the entire time we've been there, and each one of them knows us, and our boys. When scrapes and bumps happen, there's no coverups, always an incident report. Education - 10 out of 10. The schools method of encouraging learning, leadership, and responsibility was so refreshing after our first experience. When we first visited, we were shown example schoolwork of kids working on 1st and 2nd grade level things like writing simple sentences and doing 2 & 3 digit addition/subtraction. Frankly, coming from our former school I was thinking I'd be happy if my boys got half that far. But their methods are so good, their care so deep, that if you visited today, they'd likely be showing you my son's work! I am so proud of him, and thankful to the staff for developing his potential. Emotional development- this is the area where I actually saw the most growth out of my sons. My oldest entered very timid and unsure of his abilities, but with 2 years working with Miss Sadaf he's gained a confidence that actually drives him to finish tasks he would have previously given up on. They gave him opportunities to act like a leader and bloomed that in him as well. With my youngest being a challenger, I was worried his stubbornness would be more disruptive than moldable, but Miss Farah and Miss Ava have seen dozens of pupils before like him, and with love and experience they've had great success molding his mind too. I owe a great debt of gratitude to these wonderful women at Katy GT Academy. The work they accomplished in my sons these last 2 years has made a lasting positive impact on their lives, as well as mine. I'm so glad we switched to GTA.

We couldn’t be happier with this daycare! My son joined when he was 2 years old, and he has been here for more than a year now. He enjoys it so much that he often doesn’t even want to leave at the end of the day! He truly loves being at daycare and spending time with his friends and teachers. He has learned so much since starting here—social skills, creativity, and even early learning concepts—all while having fun every day. He goes to Ms. Sadaf’s class in the morning and then to Ms. Lana's class in the afternoon. Before that, he was in Ms. Fara’s class and sometimes in Ms.Eva's class. All the teachers here are incredibly caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children’s growth and happiness. Communication with parents is excellent. We receive regular updates and feedback about our child’s day, which means a lot to us. It’s clear that the team genuinely loves what they do and treats every child with kindness and attention. Ms. Mary is also a wonderful person who organizes everything very well and helps keep things running smoothly. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for their child!

This review is long overdue. I have so many good things to say about this place that I don’t even know where to start. Both of my kids attend Katy GT Academy. My older child transferred here when he was around 2.5 years old because he was not happy at his previous daycare. He is now 4.5 years old and has been thriving here ever since. His teacher, Ms. Sadaf, is an experienced and knowledgeable educator. She not only teaches the children and closely monitors their learning progress at school, but also provides helpful advice to parents on how to manage children’s behavior at home. My younger child used to be in Ms. Farah’s class, but she is currently on sick leave after a serious fall at the gym. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope she will be back soon. His current teacher is Ms. Eva, who is also experienced and very responsible. She also teaches Mandarin in the after-school program—how convenient is that! My kids will definitely be joining her Mandarin class once they turn five. Ms. Lana is the afternoon teacher and is incredibly energetic, loving, and fun. My kids are definitely not the only ones who don’t want to leave when parents come to pick them up! Lastly, I want to thank Ms. Mary for building such an amazing team and creating a safe and nurturing learning environment for the children, which gives parents real peace of mind. As the owner of the daycare, she is there almost every day. And if she isn’t there, she’s probably somewhere running a marathon! We feel very lucky to have found this daycare and highly recommend it to other families.

We absolutely love Katy GT Academy & Montessori! Everyone (Ms. Sadaf, Ms. Lana and all other teachers, and Ms. Mary) is so friendly, professional, and highly experienced. Over the past 3–4 years, our two young children have had an amazing learning and growing experience here. The progress they’ve made in reading, writing, and math has truly exceeded our expectations and is far beyond what we’ve seen in public schools. We’re so grateful for the strong academic foundation and supportive environment the school provides. Highly recommend!

Katy GT Academy is a best Montessori school. My daughter had been here for more then one year. Ms. Min, Ms. Sadaf, and Ms. Lana are all kindly, nicely, softly, and tenderly. They not only teach her letters, reading, math, geography, but also teach her good behavior, patient, attentive, caring. The director Ms. Mary always brings a cheerful atmosphere to the school. They have little fishes, parrots, and a guinea pig. They celebrate every traditional festivals and every child's birthday. Teachers choose going to playground or doing indoor gym activities depending on the hot weather. Although my home is 15-20 minutes away from the school, we still like to go to this school.
