Full Ranking Detail
infantkinderschool-agemontessori
Star Montessori in Pasadena, Texas serves infants through pre-kindergarten children using a Montessori approach designed to spark curiosity and prepare them for lifelong learning. The center has operated since 1988, accepts state childcare subsidies for accessibility, and offers extended hours from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM with snacks included daily. Programs span infants, toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, after-school, and summer activities. However, five high-severity deficiencies on the Texas Health and Human Services Commission record warrant review of the latest inspection before enrolling, and prospective families should verify current class sizes and teacher-to-child ratios given the center's large licensed capacity of 404.
