Almost Home @Waypoint Montessori is an AMI-recognized Montessori center in Colleyville, TX, serving infants through school-age children with authentic Montessori pedagogy focused on independence, curiosity, and whole-child development. The center maintains an exceptional compliance record with only one high-severity HHSC deficiency, and its afternoon/evening hours (10:15 AM–6:15 PM) serve families with non-traditional work schedules who may struggle to find quality childcare outside standard business hours. Age-based programs span Toddler through Elementary, with enrichment in art, music, Spanish, and nature exploration, while a practical-life emphasis includes activities like cooking, gardening, and cultural study that differentiate it from conventional preschools in the area. Prospective families should note that the late start time may not align with traditional early-morning drop-off routines, and the center does not accept subsidies.
