Good: I visited several Montessori's before enrolling my children at CMS. The other schools were very very structured, even down to what type of sunglasses and color sock they should wear. As soon as I walked into CMS, met the staff and was able to see the children interact with the staff, I knew this was a much better match. CMS is more like a family and they don't knock you over the head with a ton of rules. They are structured yet let the kids express themselves. the teachers seem to love what they do.. Other: They have dance class and special projects each day of the week. The best part of the school is the staff...they have made me feel as though my children are their priority (even though I am sure they do that for all the parents). I never feel like my children are not getting the attention and direction they need. The staff is very good at giving daily summaries. Although, during the summer, they do have college kids helping out, there is always a teachers aid available to tell you how the day went..
