About Discover New Horizons Montessori
Discover New Horizons Montessori Round Rock
Discover New Horizons Montessori offers a child-centered learning environment located in the heart of Round Rock. The program follows authentic Montessori principles, focusing on the cognitive, social, and emotional development of the whole child. Classrooms are prepared with hands-on materials designed to foster independence and a natural desire to learn, ranging from the Nido infant program to the Children’s House for ages three to six. Directed by Karla Garcia and owner Sharon Rodriguez, the center emphasizes a nurturing, family-like atmosphere. Parents receive daily updates via a mobile app including feedings, diaper changes, and photos. The curriculum includes practical life, sensorial exercises, and language development in both Spanish and English. With multi-age groupings and a focus on self-directed activity, children are encouraged to grow at their own pace in a space that feels like home for the entire family unit.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Ms Sharon and her team of amazing care givers loved on my two boys as if they were family. My sons learned valuable social skills, practices their math and reading, and had lots of fun with arts/crafts. This all really prepared him for school and he is doing great! My oldest remembers his teacher Ms Lily very fondly and we are due for a visit to go say hi. I whole heartedly recommend DNH to any parent.
We have had an amazing experience at Discover New Horizons Montessori school. Our son, who will turn 2 soon, started at 18 months, and in only 3 months, we have seen so much growth. The teachers here are caring and attentive, the classrooms are beautifully organized, and our child has grown so much in confidence and independence. We couldn’t be happier and we’re so grateful to have found this school! We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching environment.
We toured several daycares before our son turned 3 months old, and Karla made us feel confident about choosing this one. The more time he spends here, the more we see how great it is. Sharon, the owner, and Angelica, his teacher, truly care for the kids. The staff are loving, and the app updates with diaper changes, feedings, and photos give us peace of mind. Highly recommend!
We absolutely love this daycare! Our child has had such a positive experience here—the staff is caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to the his growth and well-being. The environment feels safe, nurturing, and engaging, with so many opportunities for learning and play. As a mom always concerned about her child, I am so grateful to have found a place where our child is happy, supported, and thriving after transitioning schools.
Sharon is absolutely amazing and only hires the best. As parents it’s hard to leave our babies every day and harder to find people you trust. With Mrs. Sharon I never doubted for a second that my babies weren’t being loved and cared for. I always felt that Sharon and her staff cared and loved my babies as their own. My kids were always clean, happy, and so well cared for. If you’re looking for a place for your most precious children please consider Discover New Horizons. You will find a community and family here.
