Mariner Montessori's campus is comprised of three buildings right in the heart of Houston, the Galleria mall area. The classrooms and common spaces in three buildings, feature Montessori and STEAM designed spaces that encourage learning in the most effective ways with endless opportunities for collaboration, exploration and self-expression.
Plan and implement the Montessori curriculum. Give appropriate presentations and establish a record keeping system to track the children's progress. The teacher should have the ability to work not only with children but with parents and other staff members as well. Responsible for preparation of the classroom environment, materials and equipment; ensures that all materials are in good repair and all sets complete.
The infant program starts with a phasing-in process to support the bond between you and your child. We carefully prepare an environment and the program in which babies can grow healthy and happily. Throughout the program, we make time to observe babies, interact with each child, offering conversation and manipulative materials at receptive moments.
Under the guidance of a trained teacher, children learn by making discoveries with the materials, cultivating concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning. S.T.E.A.M. concepts will be combined in all activities throughout the day. The classroom is scaled to the size of the preschoolers and arranged with materials and activities that are enticing and enjoyable.

This is a very nice preschool, which has recently changed from a daycare to a really high quality Montessori school with a STEAM curriculum. The teachers are very good and trained; they have all the real Montessori furniture and manipulatives. Lots of outdoor green space and very clean! Also they changed the menus recently and it's probably the healthiest food of any preschool.

I’ve had (and still have) such a great experience with Excel. Both of my kids have gone through the infant room and each day I’ve arrived to see smiles on their faces. My 2 yr old has thrived and my smaller one gets so much attention and care in the infant room. The entire staff has been supportive through my kid’s developmental stages and they’ve provided very helpful suggestions as they age. I love that the enrollment size is small because it really does make it feel like a family. Definitely recommend!

Went their with my wife and daughter for a tour in Dec 2017 and I was in shock!! this place should be shut down. when I walked in 4-5 toddlers were placed in chairs with no activities and each baby had an iPad in front of him and the whole group were in deep crying session, red eyes and teary cheeks. while talking to the teacher who seemed clueless clumsy millennium the kitchen staff brought the launch which was so unhealthy and gave it to the 1-2 years old toddlers to eat it by themselves!! and while talking to the this young lady one of the toddlers erupted crying because he burned his mouth

Great daycare !!!!This is the best daycare in the Galleria area with a clean facility and huge playground. Family owned for 30 years and they are always open. If you have to get to work early and stay late like I do, then this place is for you. Tony (the owner) is super friendly and is always willing to help my children or the staff with any accommodations I need. Thanks guys and keep up the great work.

I highly recommend Excel Academy. They really have a great program in set for children. For the summer of 2016, I lost my babysitter so suddenly and had to find a daycare within days. I searched 3 daycares in the Richmond area and was so worried that none of them were up to par. Due to staff, space, activities, price,etc.
When I came into Excel Academy and took a tour with mr.Tony (great guy) I was really impressed with the whole place from the space, to the playground to the daily activities they have in place for our children. I made the decision, and was so relieved with the results.

Up until a week ago my review was 5 stars. Last week an incident happened due to lack of proper supervision and the management's attitude about the incident made me change my review and I pulled my son out of this daycare immediately.
My son is almost 4. He was in the 3s class and they combine 3s and 4s after a certain time and if the teacher doesn't come for one of the classes. The 4s have a special needs 12+ year old boy. This boy choked my son. I was not even told about it until the next day and only by his actual teacher (who was told by the teacher that was supervising the day before). Everybody
