Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Central Montessori School to me and my husband is like a family. We always know our children are in good hands when they are at school. The owner is very caring and loving person. The entire staffs are very approachable and loving to our children too. The schedule is so perfect and well prepared to get our children ready for first grade.
I Highly do recommend this school to other Parents!

Parent #2
School has exceeded all of our expectations! The school is a living testament to the philosophy of Maria Montessori: creating an environment that allows each child to maximize his or her own potential. The curriculum is wonderful. In seeing our Son's development over the past 2 years, we have no doubts about this approach. Central Montessori School in Encinitas to us is like family. We always know our children are in good hands when they are at school. The owner is very caring and loving person. The entire staffs are very approachable and loving to our children too. Most of all they love their jobs and it shows. The schedule is so perfect and well prepared to get our children ready for elementary.
We can't Thank the owner and the entire staff enough for all the time that they are investing in our children to make them what they are today and what they will be in the future.
THANK YOU!

This school will make you pay the following June's tuition, if for whatever reason you quit, then you'll never get that money back.

Parent #4
CMS is a wonderful & safe school which allows children to develop at his/her own pace. The environment is clean & organized. The administration is friendly & accommodating.

Parent #5
excellent staff
great accademic program
very educational

Parent #6
I feel that there should be more stimulating material in the classrooms. They need a larger book supply of quality books which kids can access at any time (not on a high shelf for the teachers only). Their educational and play material and classroom material seems very sparse. They don't purcahse new materials--I would liek to see new materials in the rooms every 2-3 months. The playground area should include swings Would like to see more field trips and parent involvement. Strengths--the teachers are wonderful, and very loving. I wish the administration would find positive ways to give them incentives to stay for the long term.

It was a cold and soggy day at the Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo. Cold, that is, for March day here in Austin. Of all the sights to see, my son spent most of our visit at the petting zoo. He picked out his
