Culver City Montessori Pre-School

Posted August 26, 2010

Though my son has only been attending this school for a couple of months, I know from previous experience that this school has it all. They have a dedicated staff, an involved director and an inviting space that encourages play and creativity. I've already seen my son grow and I look forward to his future development.

Just Fyi: My son (3 yrs) was here for 1 day. I picked him up after a 1/2 day, the director handed him over along with his belongings. She told me that "he wasn't montessori school material, some kids aren't". The reason, he was very disruptive and wouldn't take his nap (his 1st day of school). I realize the fault lies with *his* behavior, but I can't help feel this attitude flies in the face of Maria Montessori's philosophy. Montessori was given charge of a group she called 'defective children' (special needs, abused/neglected, and "wild and unruly street" kids) and brought them up to the level of 'normal' kids, and her method was born. My son is now at Shining Path Montessori. He reads, does math & is praised by his teachers, who were very patient with him. Its easy to look good if you kick out the hard ones.

My son has been at CCM for two years and 8 days come this Friday. He is graduating and I am sad to see his wonderful experience at CCM come to a close. I looked at a lot of preschools two years ago and as soon as I walked into CCM, everything about it and everything I saw struck me as just right and wonderful. The classrooms are bright and spotless with beautiful hardwood floors. The playgrounds are completely covered with that foam rubber material with beautifully shade trees, tall green hedges, and lots of interesting playground equipment for the children to run and swing and also conduct imaginary play. But, of course, it's the people that are the greatest asset. I will never be able to thank Ms. Yazmin for all she has done for our son. Our son has blossomed in every way and we are grateful.

How do we know that this school is great? It's easy! Now that she'll be Kindergarden this coming school year, we attended a lot of private school's orientations and tours around the schools including being able to see what their Kindergarden students are doing. Based on our observation, these activities are nothing compared to our daughter's homeworks for which she can do by herself (even teaching us sometimes how to do it or answer it). Her reading and math skills are well beyond what these Kindergarden students are doing and she's just 4. She really enjoys the extracurricular activities as well - dance class, gym class and summer's Friday wet day. Thanks to all the teachers and Ms. Jasmin for continiously nurturing our kids with best learning experience and good attitude too!!!
