Why Choose Montessori Preschool

If you’re exploring preschool options, you’ve likely heard about Montessori — but what makes it different?

Montessori education is designed to support the natural development of young children. Rather than traditional teacher-led instruction, Montessori classrooms encourage independence, curiosity, and hands-on exploration.

At Community Montessori School, our classrooms are calm, beautiful, and filled with purposeful materials. Children choose their own activities, follow their interests, and learn at their own pace — all under the guidance of trained Montessori educators.

Montessori isn’t just an educational method — it’s a philosophy that respects each child as a unique individual. Children learn to care for themselves, their community, and their environment while building strong foundations in academics and social-emotional skills.

Families choose Montessori because they want more than daycare — they want a place where their child can thrive.

    The first time I walked into a Montessori classroom I was 20 years old looking for a ‘job with children”.  I had held many jobs prior, all related to kids, but NOTHING like this.  As I walked up to the “school” I marveled at the 2 cottages that had been turned into classrooms. It looked…
