Q: What is Montessori, and why should I choose CMS for my child?
Montessori is a child-centered approach that encourages independence, confidence, and lifelong learning. At CMS, our credentialed teachers guide children ages 2.6–11 through hands-on activities that build practical skills, academics, and social growth.
Q: Why are children of different ages in the same classroom?
Montessori classrooms are intentionally multi-age. Younger children learn by observing older peers, while older students develop leadership and mentorship skills.
Q: What is meant by the “spiritual” development of the child?
At CMS, spiritual development means helping children become respectful, compassionate individuals. It is not religious instruction; it’s about kindness, awareness, and respect.
What is the difference between AMS (American Montessori Society) and AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) schools?
Both AMS (American Montessori Society) and AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) are respected organizations. CMS is AMS-affiliated, ensuring authentic Montessori practices and high-quality classrooms. AMS schools blend authentic Montessori principles with innovative teaching techniques, incorporating supplemental resources and materials to enrich the curriculum.
