We love the CMSLN community. Both 5yo and 3yo go here. The teachers have long-standing tenures with the school and are dedicated to the community. My children are thriving here; learning life skills, learning at their own pace, exploring. The Montessori environment is great and this small community feel school is the perfect place.
