CAPTIVATING MONTESSORI SCHOOL C/O JENAE CHILES

What they do
AT CMS, WE TAKE A UNIQUE APPROACH to EDUCATION BY ADHERING to TRUE MONTESSORI METHODS. OUR PROGRAM is NOT BASED ON ANY PARTICULAR RELIGION, and WE STRIVE to CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS EVERY CHILDS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN LEARN BEST WHEN THEY ARE IN CONTROL of THEIR OWN LEARNING PROCESS, WHICH is WHY WE PROVIDE THEM WITH THE NECESSARY MATERIALS to EXPLORE and LEARN ON THEIR OWN. THE MONTESSORI METHOD EMPHASIZES HOLISTIC PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH GOES BEYOND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. WE GUIDE CHILDREN to CREATE PEACE AROUND THEM for THE COMMON GOOD of OTHERS, HELPING THEM GAIN AN EARLY APPRECIATION of THEIR ABILITY to IMPACT THE WORLD AROUND THEM. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE CHILDREN to RESPECT THE DIFFERENCES of OTHERS, DEVELOP EMPATHY, and UNDERSTAND THE VALUE of LISTENING to and VALUING OTHERS IDEAS. OUR PROGRAM is LED BY A CERTIFIED AMERICAN MONTESSORI SOCIETY TEACHER WHO is DEDICATED to SUPPORTING and GUIDING EACH CHILDS DEVELOPMENT. ADDITIONALLY,
