My daughter was very unhappy to leave her old school but relocation made it necessary. The school answered all of my questions when I was touring, and I was impressed by the children all applying themselves to their work. Montessori in action is a thing to behold. The teachers always go the extra mile, communicate closely with the parents if there are any issues at all, there are many activities centered around the children. ""Donuts with Dads"" allowed my daughter to show me around her class and introduce me to all the materials. My daughter is now very happy and thriving. An improvement over her previous school, which we were also happy with. ...read more

Our son was bored in the public school. When it was time to get ready, he dreaded getting up in the morning. It was always a fight. We did some research and decided to check out the Montessori school options. Once we set foot into the classrooms at CMS we were amazing at how all of the children were so happy and busy working. I think we were mostly shocked by the amount of work we actually saw the children doing. \t\n\t\nWe then made an appointment with the Administrator. She listened to our countless questions and assured us they had an open door policy. The staff contacts us with us with updates and welcomes us. \t\n\t\nOur son has been there for three months. Now he can't wait to get to school in the morning. He loves all of his teachers. He even knows the people in the office. Everyone has made an effort to make him and our family feel welcome. \t\n\t\nThe reading program is out of this world. Our son is actually encouraged to read challenging books and have discussions. It is nice to be able to work as a team with the teachers in the school. \t\n\t\nParents are encouraged to get involved. My husband and I have gone in a couple of times to do crafts and other things in his class and the others as well. \t\n\t\nWe have already enrolled him again for next year. Thank you Country Montessori School. ...read more

Visitors to the Country Montessori School are impressed with the self-discipline and independence of even the youngest child. Several alumni transition to high academic private school and excel. We are thrilled with the success of our three girls. Parents are happy to be directly involved with their child's success. It is a non-profit that has a loyal group of teachers. Alumni families are still involved as well. It just won another award two for their preschool and one for the elementary level. Not a surprise considering the academic success the children accomplish there. Thank goodness we found Country Montessori School. ...read more
