Laura is a strong leader, passionate about the Montessori method, her students and their families. I trust my children will be cared for and receive excellent education at a Blackhorse school.

This facility is exceptional, and I highly recommend this school. Laura FastHorse, Director, formerly led the Montessori school where my children attended. Her exceptional professionalism, patience, and business acumen were highly regarded by all who interacted with her. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a qualified and dedicated educational leader.

I’ve had the joy of knowing Laura FastHorse for over eight years. She has played an important role in each of my children’s early education—my oldest two had the privilege of having her as their teacher, and my youngest experienced her exceptional leadership as a director. Laura brings a calm, nurturing presence to everything she does. Her deep care for each child and family is evident in every interaction. What sets Laura apart is not only her endless patience but also the way she empowers and inspires her staff. Under her guidance, teachers thrive and children flourish. Any family would be incredibly lucky to be part of a school led by Laura.

As a father of three, I’m incredibly grateful we found a home here at Jarrell M. Over the past three years, our kids have been in three different daycares and schools—due to shutdowns or a lack of availability for our newborn—so we’ve experienced a wide range of care. Jarrell M has far exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be more thankful for Laura and the entire team.

They’re never too busy to talk, always treat my children with kindness and respect, and communicate with outstanding clarity and transparency. I would highly recommend them to any family—and surprisingly, they’re also more affordable than all the other schools we’ve tried. Truly a blessing.

My daughter has been in child care since the age of one and has been to a lot of inappropriate locations. The classrooms are messy, not clean, the teachers aren’t happy and that’s not the kind of environment I want for my daughter. When we heard about Jarrell Montessori being built in our hometown we jumped at the chance to try out a Montessori school.
We walked around the school and it was breathtaking. The team really takes care of the environment and makes sure things are on the shelf and spotless. They have plenty of playgrounds for the kids to choose from and they get to spend a lot of time outside.
Our daughter has learned so much in a short time at this school than she has learned in recent years and it’s all thanks to the amazing team. Her teacher Ms Carmen was very supportive of my daughter, she was caring, patient, honest and knowledgeable. My daughter always comes home singing songs she has learned, becoming more independent and confident in everything she does.
Ms Laura and Ms Natalie showed her how to trust that she could do anything. She loves school and doesn’t want to go home talking about the incredible care she receives while her parents are at work. Thank you all so much for being such a great support system for our family.

I absolutely adore this school! My smallest and I were nervous about her leaving her previous daycare to start a new one and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. We got to meet and tour first to make sure everyone was comfortable and she loves it. She had a speech delay prior to starting and she has started talking and handling things independently since she started (putting her shoes on herself, signing, getting her own snacks!). She acts like she owns the place and the staff is soooo kind, supportive and loving and I just appreciate all that they do to create a safe, child-led, and welcoming learning environment!

My 2 year old loves it here. Ms Laura and the rest of the teachers are so kind and thoughtful.
It is a clean, new facility with lots of space. And of course all of the educational advantages
of the Montessori system. Wonderful, cannot recommend more highly!

We enrolled our son in at Jarrell Montessori, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best
decisions we’ve made for him. Like any parent, we were a bit nervous about making the
switch, but from day one, we’ve felt nothing but gratitude and reassurance.

The environment is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. The facility itself is new,
always clean, and incredibly well maintained. You can tell there’s great pride and care put
into every corner of the school.

The teachers are attentive and deeply engaged with the children—not just supervising, but
truly present. It’s also so refreshing to see the Directors so involved with the kids on a daily
basis, creating a strong sense of community and trust.

Our son loves going to school. He often asks to stay longer, which speaks volumes. He’s
made friends and is learning so much in such a short amount of time.

I especially want to highlight Ms. Carmen, his lead teacher. She is truly a gift. Her
intentionality, warmth, and thoughtfulness have made a world of difference for our son—
and for me. As someone raising children without family nearby, Ms. Carmen has become a
trusted support. She’s offered guidance, encouragement, and genuine care not just for my
child, but for me as a mother.

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and so thankful to have found such a special
place for our son to grow, learn, and thrive.

Parents that have tried to find a good daycare know that the people working with your kids make or break the experience, I couldn’t be happier with the team here at Jarrell Montessori.
Their experience is evident the second my kids stepped into their classrooms it’s well run and the best environment I’ve seen at ANY daycare. The team members bonded so quickly with my kids and genuinely care for them. Also the communication has been above and beyond expectations, we love it!

Jarrell Montessori is a true gem of a school. My daughter is thriving there, and I have full trust that she is well taken care of. The staff is incredible – you can tell they truly enjoy being there. I get updates and pictures throughout the day with their app. The environment is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

As a grandparent, nothing matters more to me than knowing my grandchildren are safe, nurtured, and growing every day in a loving and enriching environment. Jarrell Montessori has truly exceeded every expectation I had when it came to finding the right preschool for them.
From the very first day, the care and warmth shown by the staff was beyond reassuring. Every teacher and caregiver at Jarrell Montessori is kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. My grandchildren are not just looked after—they are loved, encouraged, and guided with patience and respect.
The curriculum is absolutely outstanding. It’s clear that the Montessori method is implemented thoughtfully and with purpose. I’ve seen my grandchildren blossom—growing in confidence, independence, and curiosity. They come home excited about what they learned, from practical life skills to language, numbers, nature, and beyond. It’s incredible how much they’ve developed socially and academically in such a short time.
What truly sets Jarrell Montessori apart is the intentional, child-centered environment they’ve created. Every part of the classroom is designed to foster exploration, focus, and a love for learning. The staff communicates regularly, and I always feel included and informed about their progress.
To anyone looking for a preschool in the Jarrell area—Jarrell Montessori is a gem. They go above and beyond to care for the whole child, and I am so thankful my grandchildren get to grow in such a beautiful community.
In fact, they love it so much—they never want to go home! That says everything.
