To provide high quality education following the teaching principles of Dr. Maria Montessori and to develop the relationship between the child's physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development goals. Dr Montessori believed that education is a preparation for life, and not simply a mastery of intellectual skills. The activities and environment provided in a Montessori school stimulate and develop a thirst for learning, a curiosity about one's surroundings and a desire to discover and to do things for oneself. We hope during a child's development he will learn to solve problems using an organized approach, to use freedom wisely, to respect others, and develop a love for learning. The following are some of CMA's goals: - To help the child develop both socially and emotionally. - To help each child build a positive self-image. - To help each child develop self-confidence as an independent learner. - To help each child build concentration, persistence and initiative. - To help develop sensory-motor skills. - To help nourish an abiding curiosity, and inner security, and a sense of order. - To help develop academic skills through the use of Montessori materials. - To request a tour of either campus and meet the teachers, please feel free to call to schedule an appointment.
