Cougar Mountain Montessori

Both of my sons attended for CMM for their preschool and kindergarten years. They were very different and had different learning styles and CMM provided a wonderful environment for each. The teachers and staff are caring and truly value each individual child. My kids are in elementary school now and are still friends with their preschool friends. Academically both are reading and doing math WAY above their grade levels. CMM was a fantastic experience for our family and best of all the experience my children had has taught them that learning is fun. I couldn't have hoped for a better foundation for my boys.

My daughter was there for 6 weeks. It was a very bad experience for me. I had to stay with her for 6 weeks because they think it will help my daughter. I did all of work they ask me. In the end, they told me my daughter is not ready to go to school which I didn't agree. The teacher is very good to social with parents and teaching is horrible. They always want a easy student. Luckily I changed the school. My daughter couldn't be happier.

The Montessori approach has been great for our children. They have been exposed to educational opportunities not available at the typical 'play time' preschool.

After being moved to a different classroom at her previous school, my daughter started to have very bad drop-offs and would complain every night about school. I looked at many different preschools and fell in love with CMM following my first tour. The teachers are very caring and nurturing and the montessori curriculum is wonderful for my daughter. Two days after starting at CMM, she was so excited to go to school that she would forget to say bye when I dropped her off. She gets to try all sorts of activities and she gets to learn at her own pace. If she is advanced in an area, she is able to continue her learning. An added bonus is the huge outdoor play area and vegetable garden. My daughter came home one day telling me about picking strawberries.

Great school! Great teachers really work with parents and any other educator involved in your childs life. They are very interested in getting to know your child and keeping you informed of what's going on every day.

We were new to the area last Jan 09 and were previously in another montessori school. I thought we were at a good school previously but after a short 1-2 months my kids were taking in much more learning and showing so much more progress at their age level. Cougar Mtn. Montessori staff are wonderful to work with and the teachers are truly committed to the learning process. My son is in his 3rd yr and my daughter in her 2nd year of montessori school. They also love the additional enrichment programs including yoga, tumble gym, and music.

Both my children attend CMM, and I couldn't be more pleased. They are both excelling in social and academic areas. Plus, they love going to school. What more could a parent ask for?

We have been very happy at CMM. Our son loves the school and the very caring teachers. He is excelling academically as well - and it seems with very little effort on his part, just seems to be the nature of the Montessori curriculum and school. The school has nice outside play areas too.

Wonderful montessori program with caring and loving teachers. My daughter has excelled at this school. The owner is very experienced and seems to hire well qualified staff. Day care program offered with wide variety of cirriculum including practical life, sensorial, language, math, science, art, music, yoga, spanish and more. The school also offers extracurricular activites such as tumble gym and ABC music. The school has fun events such as pony rides, magicians, mother's tea, dad's night out, and other fun events. There is a parents association and a large playground. Owner is pretty 'by the book' but flexible and seems to generally care for the children. I would recommend this school.
