Children's Day Montessori

I had done a lot of research into Montessori educational philosophy before looking at CDM for our now 4-year old.  Not all schools that use the term Montessori are true to the teachings of Maria Montessori.  This pre-school is.  All the lead and assistant teachers have Montessori certifications, as well as years of teaching experience. The classrooms use genuine Montessori materials.  The staff provide an incredibly rich Montessori experience for children (and for me that was a super-high priority). So if you are looking for a genuine Montessori experience for our pre-K and Kindergarten aged child(ren), this is the real deal.

If you are simply looking for a great pre-school,  this is still the place to be.  The class sizes are small, which allows the teachers to build real community and truly focus on the children as individuals; the facilities are welcoming and well-maintained; the teachers are incredibly dedicated; and the level of flexibility offered families is an accomodation that makes us feel like we are on a team with the school to give our children the very best.  We're in it together.  They also offer a unique summer school program, which I look forward to our daughter continuing as an alumna, even when she moves on from CDM.

And one final note -- Our older daughters were already school-aged by the time we moved to St. Cloud, but we've come to know several of their friends who are CDM alums, and I have to say, if these half dozen of so pre-teens/teens are models of what we have to look forward to as a result of Montessori pre-school with CDM, then I'm very excited for our youngest's future growth and development!
