Full Ranking Detail
infanttoddlerpreKkinder
Green Meadows Montessori Academy is an authentic Montessori program serving infants through school-age children in a secluded, park-like setting in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Celina, TX. The center operates across three programs—Infant (3–18 months), Toddler (18 months–3 years), and Primary (3–6 years)—with a child-led, nature-immersive approach emphasizing independent exploration in larger-than-average classrooms. Small enrollment and a dedicated team maintain intimate class sizes and deeply personalized learning, backed by a 5-star Trustanalytica rating and zero high-severity HHSC deficiencies. As a very new program, it has limited independent public review history beyond school-provided testimonials, and the absence of subsidies and remote location may present practical barriers for some Celina families.
