Parents' Comments
Parent #1
there really isn't a good home-school connection in place right now. I wish there were more and am hoping things will get better organized as time progresses. It's a new school and I don't think everything as been thought through. I've not formally met other parents only through same drop off/pick up times have I met them and it's been on my own.
Parent #2
CMA provides a calm, safe, structured, and fun learning environment. The school is beautifully designed with wonderful educational tools and equipment. Staff are extremely caring and experienced. Highly recommended to prepare preschool children for a classroom environment.
Parent #3
