“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 primary classroom also emphasizes grace and courtesy every day, which transitions into our home along with my sons drive to be independent in the home environment, too. Ms. Osterberg, specifically, observes my sons interests and provides detailed feedback about his progress during every parent-teacher conference. She provides thoughtful recommendations on activity ideas, too! We have open communication with the school-classroom and share major life events that are occurring in our personal lives, and this allows my sons teachers to support him further through life transitions. The entire CMS staff is kind, supportive and accessible. Our family feels safe in their welcoming environment. CMS creates a positive culture to help all students thrive and we are so grateful for their ongoing efforts in our sons growth!”
