  My husband and I thoroughly researched daycare options and were very attracted to the Montessori concept. At the time, Morning Glory Montessori was well-reviewed and had a good record with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. On paper, my daughter's experience there should have been a positive one. Sadly, it was not.
  
  I am not sure if it was her age (she was approximately 5 months), her class, or the teachers, but to say we had a terrible experience there would be an understatement. My daughter was sitting on a cold, hard floor most of the day and was sick for almost the entire two month period she was there. She was in a daycare before Morning Glory and had no issues, so I am inclined to blame environmental factors. She had 2 different Urinary Tract Infections and a diaper rash so bad she bled. She is 15 months old now, and she has not had either a severe diaper rash or a UTI since (or even before she attended Morning Glory, for that matter). Cribs were not really used (there was one in the corner) and instead, babies slept on gym mats along one side of the room. There were limited pictures and toys in the room and I came in one day to find my daughter playing with a moldy mini-gourd. I do not believe the environment provided adequate stimulation. The whole feel was rather sterile and cold-a stark contrast to the other rooms at the school. We could not wait to get her out of there. So much so, that we actually paid at two different places just to leave sooner. Thankfully, we are all much happier and our baby is much healthier at our new daycare.
  
  The other reviews are not recent and perhaps there have been personnel changes in the infant area which contributed to our negative experience. I guess every school/daycare is only as good as its worst employees. Perhaps the Montessori concept is not appropriate for an infant. Either way, our child will never return to Morning Glory and I absolutely would not recommend it.
