He loves to go outdoors in the natural play area. Recently, he showed off his ability to add "really big numbers" and how he's now sounding out words. CMC lives up to everything Montessori should be--hands on, self-guided, and collaborative. The classroom is beautifully laid out so the kids can move around, preparing snack or doing a big "work" on a rug. I would highly recommend CMC for anyone interested in full day child care and who believes in the beauty of a Montessori education.

Our daughter was a student at Hilliard Montessori for more than three years, and we were thrilled…read morewith our experience. The school is small, with three preschool/kindergarten rooms and a toddler room. The wonderful staff is led by the Director, Ms. Sadhana Arun, who is a smart, loving woman who really understands and implements the Montessori philosophy beautifully. My first clue that this was a supportive and welcoming place was watching all the children race up and hug Ms. Sadhana as each one left for home in the afternoon. The teachers know all the children's names and because all the rooms are mixed age, there is an amazing sense of community among all the children who attend, that I haven't seen at any other pre-school/daycare. Our daughter blossomed at Hilliard Montessori. She gained amazing self-confidence, as well as math, science, and reading skills. She also developed a strong sense of her own ability to affect positive change in the world around her. I also appreciated the diversity of both the teaching staff and the families who attend the school. There are so many cultures, languages, and backgrounds represented. The family potlucks and celebrations were like world travel, without leaving home. My only regret is that my daughter has now aged out of their program and she can't continue to be a daily member of this loving community and learn from such amazing teachers. We highly recommend that you contact Hilliard Montessori to set up a visit if you are looking for daycare or a preschool experience for a child between 18 months and 6 years. Yes, they offer kindergarten too!

Montessori education is a time-tested, respected and effective education methodology that was founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman in Italy to become a physician. The hallmark of the Montessori program is the prepared classroom environment. Each classroom is equipped with hands-on materials for children to independently learn at their own pace. Children learn to solve problems, see natural connections in knowledge and learn skills related to practical living to expand their imaginative thinking. Maria Montessori believed that this type of classroom fostered independence and a love of learning for young children.

It's just not a fun, caring, welcoming environment for a 3 year old. My daughter really struggled to adjust and they handled the whole situation very very poorly. I would advise to avoid this place for youger kids. Preschool should not be about strict discipline, kids should be able to have a good time as they learn. There are so many cons we experienced in just few months but here are few- There is close to no diversity between students or staff. No pictures or updates on child throughout the day or even week you get class update email on Fridays (one pager with 2-3 pics total) Masks were required for all kids '21-'22 school year while most preschools and daycares were flexible. No food options provided. Very hectic pickup/drop off with a line up taking up to 20mins each time. Parents not allowed inside. They make child sit in principal office and not take part in activity/playground if he/she doesn't comply (time out or punishment is not Montessori philosophy) Most reviews and word of mouth in the area speaks to itself for this school (I had heard rigid, too strict, not flexible, not diverse but I still took the chance due to proximity and being the only Montessori within 10mile radius). I would highly encourage to research and look others in area. It is not a good Montessori environment. This is not Montessori..

I feel very comfortable leaving our little girl there. She really enjoys it and is starting to really bond with her teachers. I've never doubted the level of care or compassion each of the teachers has displayed. They've helped me along as a first time mom on what sorts of things to bring in and when.
