About Davenport Montessori
Davenport Montessori with Large Backyard
Davenport Montessori has served the Dallas community for over 8 years, offering a nurturing environment inspired by the Finnish education system. Director Sunita Ghaznavi (Ms. Soni) leads a team dedicated to fostering independence and creativity through carefully chosen Montessori tools. The program emphasizes the importance of outdoor exploration, ensuring children spend ample time in their large, shaded backyard when weather permits. The facility is thoughtfully designed with custom-tailored rooms, including a Creative Minds Room for puzzles, an Art Studio for self-expression, and a Media Room for educational documentaries. From infant care starting at 6 weeks to a structured Transitional Class for toddlers, the curriculum is designed to build foundational social and academic skills. Families often stay for years, moving from the infant wing into the Pre-K program and even utilizing the after-school pickup services for neighborhood elementary schools.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My kids love it at Davenport. Recently at Church a worker asked us if we practice tracing at home because he did such a good job on the artwork at Church. That’s totally attributed it Soni and her team for teaching him! We are big fans of this place!
We have been so blessed to have our twins at this daycare for the past year and a half. From day one, we felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. Mrs. Soni, the director, is absolutely amazing—her warmth, kindness, and dedication shine through in everything she does. The teachers are equally incredible: loving, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s happiness and growth. Our twins have thrived here, learning and growing in such a safe, nurturing environment. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for them to spend these early years, and we will always be grateful for the love and care they’ve received. This isn’t just a daycare—it’s a family. Highly recommend!
Our son has been going to Davenport since he was three months old. I was very nervous about sending him to childcare so young, but I needed to get back to work. The staff at Davenport are detailed oriented, caring, and knowledgeable. This has made my husband and I confident that our baby boy is in a safe, caring, and educational environment!!
We’ve been part of the Davenport Montessori family for nearly a decade, and I can’t say enough about the incredible care and education our children have received. The owner is truly one of a kind—loving, dedicated, and deeply invested in every child’s growth. Our two boys, now 12 and 10, attended Davenport and entered kindergarten not only academically ahead, but also confident, kind, and curious—traits that continue to serve them well. Now our 4-year-old daughter is thriving there too. She comes home happy, loved, and engaged in learning every day. The nurturing environment, thoughtful curriculum, and genuine care shown by the owner have made Davenport a second home for our family. We’re so grateful for the foundation she’s helped build in each of our children’s lives.
The best daycare! We took our daughter as an infant first to a large franchise daycare in the area and had a terrible experience. After being recommended Davenport by a friend, we couldn’t say more great things about this place. The teachers and director are the absolute best! My daughter loves them so much and you can tell how much they genuinely love all of the kids. The director is communicative, responsive and extremely hands on. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They cater individually to every child’s needs and keep parents informed. You won’t ever have to worry about your children being in great hands at Davenport.
