I have 2 kids at cbms. Both students have a great love of learning, due to their excellent teachers. The atmosphere encourages the kids to want to learn more and more everyday. I highly encourage prospective parents to come by and observe the students and teachers.
Our children have grown up at CBMS beginning at the age of 2 1/2. It was an amazing start relative to the more traditional 'day care' and they have continued to thrive. The Montessori method of teaching and learning is unique; focused on developing the child - not just academics. CBMS stays true to that. Both of our children have developed a love of learning, the ability to research and get answers for themselves, a sense of community and how they fit into this world around them. Academically they are grades ahead based on standardized testing. They have developed into leaders, sensitive to those around them, understand compromise and working collectively towards answers. All great life skills. The school is small and has provided an intimate and safe place for our children to grow and develop; preparing them for life full of choices.
I've worked at two other Montessori schools, and have visited several others. I am one of the 'new' teachers in the turnover referred to in previous reviews. Above all, CBMS is the best place I have ever worked. The staff and families are truly a community. 'It takes a village to raise a child,' and every member of our 'village' is a valued contributor to each child's education at CBMS. In my experience of over a year at CBMS, I was immediately accepted as a valuable and appreciated member of the community. I have not encountered the mean spirited gossip, poor leadership and unfair treatment I have witnessed at other schools. We are truly a family here. I moved 800 miles to work at CBMS, and it was well worth it.
Every school will have people that are unhappy. Most of these comments are so unwarranted and unnecessary. Dr. Montessori developed a phenominal program, and Carolyn Barron Montessori School does a wonderful job of fulfilling Dr. Montessori's mission. Come and see for yourself, you will truely feel what a peaceful learning environment CBMS is.
