What families say
“Our family feels safe in their welcoming environment.”
The primary classroom focuses on building a secure environment where my son safely indulges in his curiosity to learn and observe. The curriculum includes practical life tools, sensorial exercises, language arts, outdoor play, music and Spanish… The entire CMS staff is kind, supportive and accessible. CMS creates a positive culture to help all students thrive, and we are so grateful for their ongoing efforts in our son’s growth!
