Creative Montessori Learning Center
Creative Montessori Learning Center is the oldest and largest independent childcare center in East Palo Alto.
It provides preschool and daycare in a warm, nurturing environment for its children.
CMLC is greatly respected in the community for the academic success of its graduates.
It has received awards for its food program, which includes breakfast, lunch, and two snacks.
Our staff includes Montessori trained teachers and assistants. One third of the staff has been at the school for more than 10 years.
We hold the parent- child-teacher relationship to be very important.
We reinforce it through direct communication and workshops. We consult parents regularly and encourage them to be involved with our program.
CMLC is available to everyone without regard to race, color religion, national, origin or sex.
