- Serving our community since 1976, C.C.S. has an experienced and nurturing staff, a beautifully designed and developed learning environment, and the honor of having positively impacted the lives of thousands of families in our area. We are proud to be accredited by the American Montessori Society (AMS) and are immersed in the holistic learning method that Montessori embraces. Montessori is a method of observing and supporting the natural development of children. Montessori educational practice helps children develop concentration, coordination, independence, positive self-esteem, creativity, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. We aim to inspire children to become good citizens who contribute to society and the environment, and to become fulfilled persons in their particular time and place on Earth. Our flexible scheduling can accommodate the needs of most families. we have two-, three- and five-day morning programs for toddlers. For pre-school and kindergarten students, we offer three-, four- and five-day programs for morning, afternoon or both. Specific information about our school, our programs, Montessori method, our teachers and our class times can be found on our website, CCSMontessori.org.
