Children’s House Montessori School

Amazing staff and enriching curriculum. My son has been at CHMS for almost 2 years. Our experience has been that the teachers truly care and employ a curriculum that keeps the children engaged and happy. There is quite a focus on the outdoors and nature, which is huge plus. My son has learned about different languages, cultures, geography along with reading, art, math and science. It feels like a home away from home and my son has grown exponentially. I absolutely love this gem of a school, the staff is exceptional and I highly recommend!

I have had one child complete CHMS program (preschool through Kindergarten) and one who will complete Kindergarten next year and I can’t say enough about how wonderful this school is — the teachers, the Montessori education, the «specials» like music, Spanish, hiking, gardening, and art, the variety and quality of Montessori materials — they are all top notch. I credit this school with my kids learning to read before kindergarten, as well as having confidence when faced with mathematical challenges, a surprising understanding of world geography (often asking to plan trips around the world just for fun), a love of science experiments, and a true passion for music and art — often talking about and wanting to learn more about composers and artists. The virtues program really teaches the kids about how to interact with one another — you can see how they all play so nicely together outside and work well together during work time — it’s just amazing. Their natural playground features encourage the kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors, and the gardening and opportunities to explore nature through hiking in the immediate area, set them apart from all other schools I have found in the area. The kindergarten program is truly phenomenal as well — the children keep writing journals, explore concepts such as the layers of the jungle, practice reading, explore mathematical concepts, and learn about artists and create their own art works to showcase at an end of the year art show. I would highly recommend CHMS to anyone looking for a quality preschool and kindergarten Montessori education for their children.
