Montessori Reggio Academy of Katy is a dual-accredited (Cognia and TPSA) center-based provider in Katy serving infants through kindergarten, with a 139-child capacity blending Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. Recognized as a Houston Chronicle "Best of the Best" honoree and awarded the "2025 Best of Katy," the center emphasizes hands-on discovery through arts-rich, project-based learning, with STEAM integration and Cambridge Early Years curriculum alongside Spanish, Mandarin, and American Sign Language immersion. Parents consistently praise the campus cleanliness and welcoming staff, with daily classroom cameras and detailed updates supporting transparency; extended hours (6:30 AM–6:30 PM) and snacks included help working families. A significant caveat: the center carries four high-severity HHSC deficiencies despite its accreditation status, warranting verification of current compliance, and does not accept state subsidies, limiting access for lower-income families.
