Our Programs

I grew up with Montessori practices, so we knew we wanted our son to have the same learning experiences. We appreciate how much care his teachers take. His language and social skills have grown so quickly in just a short amount of time. You can tell he thinks deeper about the world around him.

"Meaningful Work" looks different at different ages

By Stephanie Sayre • January 14, 2025
"Meaningful Work" looks different at different ages Last week we talked about the power of providing opportunities for children to engage in "meaningful work." Full engagement in such work is what brings out a focus or concentration that is similar to what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called FLOW. There's so much to say on that subject that he wrote an entire book about it! For our Montessori classrooms, we know that all those words describe a positive mental state experienced by a person who is completely absorbed in an activity. Time passes without being noticed and you emerge feeling refreshed, happy, and energized.

We're back and ready to work!

I hope you all had an excellent winter break - filled with relaxation and joyful times with family and friends. Yesterday the CMS staff returned to work with a full day of training and classroom preparations. We spent time reviewing social-emotional development across the ages and diving into effective tools to help children learn to navigate social conflict when it arises. It was a great way to refresh and prepare for the return of students today!

Happy Holidays from CMS!

Final Day for Food Donations is Tomorrow! Our Season of Giving wraps up this week, as we head into our winter break. Class Ambassadors are collecting for Helping Hands of Georgetown for one more day. Please be sure to bring your donation by the end of the day tomorrow. Students can bring items to their classroom in the morning or families can drop off at the office any time up until 4pm. The most needed items are listed here but any non-perishable donation is welcome. Helping Hands runs a mobile food pantry that distributes food to those who need it Monday thru Thursday at 3pm, from the parking lot in front of the public library. Thank you for your donations!
