" The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind ... " Maria Montessori


It is our passion at Community Montessori Academy to provide the highest quality environment, staff, and opportunity for each child and family. 

The Montessori methods and philosophies we follow make sense, work with each child’s own patterns of development, and encourage self-worth, respect and autonomy. 

As a result, the children develop a concrete understanding and basis to learn academic concepts for years to come.  They learn life-skills, grace and courtesy, peace and respect. 

Their early life experience at CMA allows them to reach their full potential cognitively, socially, emotionally, physically and academically, while encouraging them to value themselves and others, and gain solid decision-making skills. 

Children leave CMA to go on to first grade or kindergarten with the knowledge, confidence and readiness they need for success.  In the bigger picture, our society reaps the benefits. 

We are accepting applications for Summer Camp and the 2011-2012 School Year. 
Make an appointment today to experience CMA for yourself.
