Welcome Message from Our Director 

​"One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child."
~Dr. Maria Montessori

As the Director at The Foundations Montessori, I would like to welcome you to our wonderful school community. My name is Saima Nabeel and I have over 20 years of experience as a Montessorian.

During my journey, I have worked with leading Montessori schools, within and outside of the United States, in a variety of roles ranging from a teacher, team leader and a mentor. Prior to starting my professional career, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Additionally, I am AMS Montessori certified, have a Cache 3 Qualification for Early Childhood Education and am a credentialed Director with the Childcare Council of Greater Houston.

Over the past few years, TFM has built a strong reputation and is committed to providing exemplary education to its students. Our endeavor for continuous improvement is highlighted by our focus towards acquiring AMS accreditation.

The hallmarks of an authentic Montessori school include the core areas of practical life, sensorial, mathematics, language, science, cultural studies and a focus on general etiquette such as grace and courtesy. We offer outdoor activities such as morning yoga and gardening, to allow the children to explore the world around them. Through various programs such as Kids for Peace, we develop a strong respect for cultural diversity, community and the environment.  

At TFM, we believe in creating a strong partnership between parents and teachers to provide a holistic environment for the child’s development. I look forward to meeting you at our parent curriculum nights, and several other events at school.

I am proud to be a part of the TFM family. I am positive that through a collaborative effort, we will continue to create wonderful and wholesome learning experiences for the children. 

​

​Sincerely,

Ms. Saima Nabeel 

Director

"I have loved every part of Foundations Montessori for my two girls. I’m a very picky mom, as most are, and have always felt so comfortable leaving my girls here each day. Ms. Farkahnda cared for my oldest in a way that will forever be in my heart. She went to kindergarten very well prepared, making it an easy transition. On another note, one of my daughters has very severe food allergies (epi pen) and the school has always been able to accommodate this."

"TFM is an excellent place for kids to learn and grow. During our initial visit at TFM we immediately fell in love with the school and Alice with Mrs. Salma. Thank you, Mrs. Salma, for being a very efficient teacher and for teaching Alice how to read and write, and much more. Perfect teachers are hard to find but, TFM has them all!"
