The testimonials below come from parents whose children have moved through Cedar Park Montessori and gone on to public schools, gifted programs, and national honor societies. Their words are unedited.
Lora H., mother of two CPM graduates
“I am writing this to thank Mrs. Kalika for building a great foundation for my children.”
I have two sons, Austin (12) and Tanner (10), who attended Cedar Park Montessori from age 4 through 4th grade. My oldest son Austin is doing awesome. He has maintained an “A” average in all his classes, received commended performance on the TAKS Test, and recently was accepted to the Duke Talented Identification Program, which means he will have an opportunity to take the SAT or ACT with high school students this year.
My youngest son is starting his first year in public school this year and is doing very well also. He was tested for Quest, the gifted and talented program, in which he scored very high. He is very involved in school, joining chess and science club. The teachers in public school have commented on what a great job Mrs. Kalika has done with my children, and I thank her so much for this. I am excited to see how their future unfolds and extremely grateful for all the hard work that Mrs. Kalika and her staff put in to teaching our children.

D. Goodwin, mother of Brooks (CPM age 3 1/2 through 12)
“The foundation Brooks received with Mrs. Kalika at Cedar Park Montessori has been a big part of his success at Wiley Middle School.”
Brooks started Cedar Park Montessori School at the age of 3 1/2 and continued until the age of 12. Mrs. Kalika gave Brooks such a wonderful foundation, not just academically but also socially, and he learned valuable life lessons that he will always remember.
Brooks entered Wiley Middle School (LISD) as a 7th grader. He started off the year by running for Student Council Historian, gave a speech in front of the entire student body and faculty, and won the election. He is on the Yearbook staff (only 9 students chosen) and helped create the first ever Wiley Middle School yearbook.
Brooks is in the Quest Program. His first project was to write and illustrate a Children’s Storybook, which he dedicated to Mrs. Kalika for teaching him what is right. His Quest teacher is working on getting his Storybook published. Brooks was also invited to join an exclusive Writing Club. Out of 188 nominations, only 19 students out of the entire 7th grade were chosen for the Peer Mediation program, and Brooks was selected.
Many of Brooks’ teachers have given him Excellence Awards for his positive effort toward the 10 Ethical Principles, including respect, promise keeping, the pursuit of excellence, and honesty. This spring, Brooks tried out for the Boys Soccer team and made the team. He was recently selected for membership into the National Junior Honor Society, a highly respectable honor society established in 1929.
We are very certain that the foundation Brooks received with Mrs. Kalika has been a big part of his success at Wiley Middle School.

TWK, parent of a CPM Toddler-to-Primary student
“My child has thrived emotionally and soared academically. His reading and math skills have taken off.”
As a parent, I want to say that Cedar Park Montessori School has been instrumental in changing my child’s life. My child was at home with me until we found CPM. The patience and kindness that the staff showed toward my child, for months, until he made the transition, was phenomenal.
He has thrived emotionally and soared academically. The school’s philosophy was consistent with and supportive of our family philosophy, which made it easier for my child to feel comfortable and behave appropriately. He is happy and eager to learn. His reading and math skills have taken off. Thank you, Cedar Park Montessori, for giving my child the crucial start necessary for his education.
