What parents say

“Finding this Montessori school has been such a blessing for our family. We are amazed by how much our child learns every day. The teachers put so much love, patience, and care into what they do, and it shows with how much my child loves being there and how smart she is. We are so thankful to know our child is in such caring hands. We will always be grateful for the positive impact this school has on our child’s life. Highly recommend from the bottom of our hearts!”

“Our children have been attending Southwood Learning Center since early 2021, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, we have felt confident knowing that our children are in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where they are genuinely valued and well cared for.

We are so grateful to the entire Southwood Learning Center team for the positive impact they have had on our children. We highly recommend Southwood Learning Center to any family looking for a loving, supportive place where their child can learn, grow, and thrive.”

“Southwood Learning Center has been a part of our family’s life for quite some time now. We fell in love with the staff in 2017 when our oldest son started there. They were consistent, communicative and loving with our sweet boy. It was astonishing the knowledge that he brought home, but learning in a fun way. It certainly prepared him for kindergarten with Montessori-style learning, but again, fun and creative. We were so sad when he ‘graduated’ and was off to kindergarten. We certainly kept in touch over the years, as a large portion of the staff remained at SWLC.

Fast forward to 2025, when our newest addition was born. We were so pleased to hear that Southwood opened an infant room! I immediately visited and was greeted by the same owner, Nazneen, and the same director, Rania. Not only were those two still there, so were two very important teachers that taught our first son so many years ago!

Ms. Vivian, the infant room lead, has such a passion and love for the babies. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my son, which is a huge task to achieve for a mom! We have come to love her and the other staff the same.

The communication the team brings to the table is beyond impressive. They do a wonderful job updating me on my baby throughout the day, even posting pictures through the app. The list doesn’t stop here on the wonderful, positive attributes Southwood Learning Center embodies. This school/daycare has set the standard on how a facility should be run and they are like a second family to us. I highly recommend you reach out and see what they are all about! You won’t regret the decision to let them help mold your sweet kiddos.”

“Our 5-year-old daughter recently started Kindergarten after spending the last two years at Southwood Learning Center. On the first day at her new school, she was able to enter the classroom confidently and has continued to impress us every day since — she is already familiar with the coursework and thriving in her new environment.

Being at Southwood equipped her with the educational and social skills needed to be successful in her future academic endeavors. She learned so much during her two years at Southwood and we are greatly appreciative of all the kind, nurturing staff who supported her along the way.”

“Our family is so grateful to have found Southwood Learning Center. From the very first day, it has felt like a true home away from home for our children. The teachers genuinely care about each child and create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to grow.

We have seen the benefits of the Montessori approach firsthand, especially with our child who recently started kindergarten. The independence, confidence, curiosity, and love of learning fostered at Southwood have been remarkable to watch. Our children continue to grow socially, emotionally, and academically in ways that make us proud every day.

Knowing our kids are happy, supported, and thriving gives us incredible peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Southwood Learning Center to any family looking for exceptional care, education, and a community that truly feels like family.”

"We enjoy being part of the SWLC family because we know that our child is loved and well cared for. We love the Montessori curriculum because our child is gaining a strong education foundation and learning many life skills."

"We love the family-friendly atmosphere and the care provided to the children. The teachers at SWLC have always been receptive to our concerns, provide us lots of information on our child’s daily activities, and answer all our questions. The combination of Montessori and group activities is a big plus."

"We chose Southwood Learning Center for our daughter because we wanted her to learn, play, and grow. It isn’t just a babysitting service — the teachers are committed to developing art, language, and social skills. Ivy has become a better friend, a better artist, and a better talker. We really like the diversity of the school, the Montessori focus, and the lack of religious instruction. She’s thriving."

"Our child has learned so much and continues to share with me the great activities that go on each day at ‘school!’ Thank you to the SWLC child care organization for an incredible Montessori curriculum that engages and teaches at all steps of the day, and a special thanks to all the staff; they continue to do amazing works of ‘heart’ with all children."

"My child has been with Southwood Learning Center for almost two years now. The knowledge and growth he has gained is reassuring that this is surely a school, not just a daycare. And they have become more than a school to us, as they are a part of our family."

"We could not have been more pleased with the care and education. The teachers are dedicated to understanding the needs of each child and helping them reach their full potential."

"Moving our children to Southwood Learning Center has been one of the wisest decisions we have made as parents. They balance nurturing care and play with academic structure and expectations. The rate at which our children have grown has amazed us. We have found Nazneen, Linda, and the teachers to be very responsive. The consistency, care, and responsiveness have made us feel that they have teamed with us as parents — and that has been invaluable."

"We can’t say enough good things about Southwood Learning Center. Our son has received an excellent preparation for kindergarten and a love for learning that he’ll take with him for the rest of his life. Southwood Learning Center is on our personal ‘Best of the Brazos Valley’ list."
