Country Day Montessori
About the School
- Country Day Montessori recognizes that children have the right to the best education and care that a society can offer.
- CDM encourages independent, self-directed learning for life in a child-centered community valuing peace, respect for others, and pride in individual differences.
- The school provides Montessori education and the world of the Montessori child is further expanded through experiences in art, music, history, geography and science.
- Again, learning in these areas takes place through the use of beautiful materials, which are concrete in nature and manipulated by the child.
- Our movement program consists of activities done on a low balance beam, going under, around, and through geometric shapes set up in an obstacle course, learning how to skip, learning how to throw and catch a ball, and learning how to toss bean bags.
- These and many more activities enable children to develop coordination.

School Reviews
5 3/8/2024
My daughters attended Country Day for a few years and I can't say enough about the teachers or the curriculum. We noticed a difference in behaviors right away and they continued to amaze us with everything they learned on a regular basis. They LOVED going to school and learning and the teachers really made it engaging and fun.
