Our child was on the old side for her grade and they were able to adapt to try to meet some of her interests and needs even though they weren't always in line with the rest of the class. Would highly recommend to anyone.

My stepson and his girlfriend both went to school here and absolutely loved it. Additionally, my…read morefather-in-law graduated from this school around 60 years ago. So we have a bit of a family legacy here brewing. Our immediate family visited last week for graduation and I was impressed by the grounds of the school. We received a tour of the main part of campus with the Columns, Student Center, Housing, and bookstore/giftshop as well as finance building. It's lovely and well-maintained. We came back and ran a 5k around the campus and saw much more the following day on our own and the architecture and buildings are very pretty. The arena and stadium were also impressive and the feedback we've gotten from our two students is that the environment here is a true college campus life and they absolutely wouldn't change their school for anything. That's all you can hope for as a parent!

I came in in with my sister who had made an appointment. On the spur of a moment I decided to get…read moremy hair cut. When I asked the receptionist, she said it was no problem and I was back sitting in a chair within 10 minutes of asking to get a hair cut. My hairstylist, Lydia, was amazing. I wanted to go from long hair (midway down my back) to a short pixie cut. I was worried that she might not want to do it because it was such a dramatic haircut, but when I mentioned it to Lydia, she said she would love to try that. She was excited to give the haircut a try, but also quick to ask from help from an instructor when she didn't know what to do, which I appreciated. Overall, I loved my hair cut and my experience there. The people were friendly and the place was cozy. I would highly recommend!

He humiliates the students in front of their peers in an effort to make himself feel powerful/important. Students need a learning environment that encourages creativity and progress, not a place that makes their self esteem plummet.

Garden Gate holds a special place in my heart. This preschool took my reserved little boy in with…read moreopen arms helping both him (and his parents!) during the difficult transition of letting him go off on his own. He now comes home humming the songs and retelling the stories he's learned in story time; he insists that "toe-food" (tofu) is ok, but the bread he helped make tastes much better! When I come to pick him up I find myself lingering because it's tranquil even with little ones running around pretending to be pirates or chasing fairies. What I mean to say is that this pre school has both nurtured my little one and our family as we grow together, and I am grateful.

CMS set aside time to take me on a tour and answer all my questions. After I decided to enroll my child they facilitated an observation with me and my child to spend time in each of the three preschool rooms which allowed me to decide which room to place my child in. They even let us come back and spend the morning with the class to help with the transition. They always made time for us and my child is happy and in the right environment. Everyone from the administration to the teachers helped us while making the big decision on choice of education and care. Three months later and we couldn't be happier. It's an amazing community of parents, children and educators dedicated to success of the children and their implementation of the Montessori philosophy.
