Community Montessori Columbus

Our daughter is entering her third year at CMC preschool she started when she was just 2.5. She has blossomed in this small, tight-knit community, growing physically, educationally, and personally. I know she feels great ownership over her community and she is excited to go to school every morning. We're grateful that the school has been a beacon of consistency during the unpredictability of COVID. The staff is caring and committed to knowing each little person and the building is beautiful.

Whether youre familiar with Montessori or not, CMC is a fabulous preschool choice. Im overjoyed with the opportunity to send my 3 year old here for preschool. Some of my favorite things about CMC is that there limited technology time, it is child led in the sense that they work at their own pace, they dont force sharing and teach kids about consent from day one. I switched to Montessori from a traditional preschool environment as it was more developmentally appropriate and more in line with how we parent. Previously, Some days were a struggle for my daughter to get up and want to go to daycare/school. Since switching to CMC she hasnt had one day that she hasnt wanted to get up and go. To me, thats what matters the most is that she loves it there!

Community Montessori Columbus has provided a wonderful summer camp for my pre-school community member! Since joining I've seen a greater awareness in nature as well as more independence & purpose with individual activities! I'm excited my family is here!

CMC is a beautiful, well organized nonprofit Montessori school. The director is continually improving the program and has tremendously committed to build the excellent Montessori school and met the state star rating system with devoted staff in central Ohio area since the school was founded. The school is profoundly implementing Montessori philosophy by allowing students to work on their own pace to learn the knowledge and skills of practical life ( e.g. preparing healthy snack on their own) , sensorial (e. g. knowing geometry shapes and solids), language ( e.g. phonetic and phonogram reading, math ( e. g. practicing four operations) , geography ( e. g. learning continents), etc. No matter the students who are new comer or have attended the school for more than two and half years have enjoyed coming to school and learned how to be self directed and/ or teacher guided when needed in mastering Montessori curriculum with concrete materials repetitively, independently and /or cooperatively. Olderstudents have also gotten great opportunities to be the leaders and help younger children to grow socially and academically in the class. This is the school that strives to educate students to be independent, kind, helpful and self directed in learning.
