CMS
CMS opened its doors in 1998 in Manhasset, New York, with a Primary classroom of 7 students. We moved to our present location in, Great Neck, in 2001. We currently have two Primary classrooms and two Toddler classrooms with a total of 60 children of diverse cultural backgrounds.
Education
Our school offers an education that meets the specific needs of young children and helps them develop ways of thinking and solving problems that will stay with them through time.
Environment
At CMS, children have the opportunity to discover their personal strengths in a child-centered environment. They develop on their own timetable and each child is known and appreciated for his or her individuality.
Beliefs
CMS believes that… *Children have, within them, a natural urge to explore and discover the world around them and find joy in learning when they are actively engaged in the learning process. *Children learn best in an environment of mutual respect and one that provides opportunities for cognitive, social, emotional, moral and physical growth. *Heterogeneous and multi-aged grouping provides opportunities for peer teaching, sharing and natural social development. *Children internalize concepts and skills at their own pace. *Children learn best when competencies are fostered through repetitive, successful experiences and when failures are de-emphasized. *A multi-sensory approach maximizes learning because it provides for individual learning styles. *Children need opportunities to make choices; thereby fostering independence, self-esteem and self-discipline. *Developmental needs of children are universal and transcend cultural differences.
Standards
We are committed to the standards of the American Montessori Association and to our founding philosophy. The Montessori School is accredited by the American Montessori Association.
Full & Half Day
We provide full and half day plans as well as after school sessions. Toddlers in diapers are welcome!
