Community Montessori School

Three years later, we are still at CMS and our appreciation of the school has only increased.
The turn-​over at the school is not high, as proposed by a previous reviewer. My child has had the same teacher for three years in a row. The elementary teacher has been there for several years, as has the toddler teacher. The three primary teachers have all worked there for three years or more.
My child loves to go to school and is sad when something (illness etc) prevents attending that day.
They use the Montessori methods that build long periods of concentration. At home, my child is now able to concentrate on one task for a very long time. I know that this is not true for all five year olds. There are so many positive developments that we have seen in our child.
Every year, my child makes friends in the classroom that really mean a lot to her. Because there are frequent all-​school events, we are able to meet other parents and children. There was just a fabulous fall hay-​ride pitch-​in. Since parents have required volunteer hours, there is a strong sense of community. This service is a great model for children. Involved parents are a great thing!

Though they claim to have a strong curriculum, they have high turnover with teachers and a high child to teacher ratio. My child was injured, requiring an emergency room visit and we have since pulled him out of this environment where money is more important than the children. If you want to send your child somewhere where they are constantly trying to raise money, English is not the native language for the teachers and they cannot seem to keep a consistent staff, this place is for you.
