What Parents are saying

I was a student at CLMS but am now in middle school. At CLMS we researched and wrote many reports. Now writing reports in middle school comes a lot easier to me than many of my classmates.

- 2009 Upper Elementary graduate

Our daughter started at Creative Care when she was two and continued on into the Creative Learning Montessori School elementary program. We found the school to be everything we were looking for and more. The nurturing and caring staff as well as personalized attention set a solid foundation for our daughter to very successfully transition into the public school system. The respect for others and love for learning that CLMS impressed upon her is still going strong!

- 2009 Alumni family

What our daughter gained from attending CLMS was not only an outstanding education, but a lifetime of valuable knowledge of virtues. She learned to embrace everything around her and gain from experiences, cultures, others passions and handicaps. She has compassion for others and knows the importance of working together for the happiness of everyone. Our daughter entered Middle School enthusiastically, unintimidated, open minded, secure, respectful and educated. Thank you CLMS!

Our Montessori Model

Based on the premise that education is a natural process and that children want to learn, CLMS classrooms are filled with confident, self-motivated, independent, joyful learners. CLMS blends its Montessori-based curriculum with multiple other philosophies in child development and education to create what we firmly believe creates the best possible environment for our students to reach their highest potential.
