Last week, they had Mother's Day celebration and I must say it was sweet! My son loves the school and his teacher Ms Leah.
My son has been at CCMS for the past 5 months and we had an awesome experience. Very disciplined, great staff and good teaching! From the outside it looks like a small school but the kids have space for everything they need to do. Spacious classrooms and playground.
* The school offers healthy, low-sugar snacks. On occasions like easter egg-hunt or Christmas gift exchange, they don’t allow junk food and encourage students to exchange books and stationery.
* The school is very spacious. There is enough room for everyone both in the classrooms and outside in the backyard. This really helped our son to calm down and learn about personal space.
* The two primary lead teachers (Ms. Nirupa and Ms. Leah) are very professional. They know the Montessori methodology well, and their teaching style is kind and firm. Their kindness builds trust with the children, and the firmness ensures discipline, which is the foundation for their learning.
Here are the pros and cons of CCMS in our opinion.
* The director (Ms. Tonya) does a great job running the school. She is both warm and professional, and runs this small school like a big family. We always feel fortunate to be part of this family.
* The tuition is very reasonable. Unlike many "upscale" Montessori schools, CCMS doesn’t overcharge parents for fancy activities or donation parties. Instead, it focuses on core Montessori learning, and keeps its cost low, which in turn benefits the families.
Both my son and daughter have attended CCMS since age 2 - kindergarten. We had nothing but a spectacular experience. The teachers each of them had in primary are still there and the director (Ms. Tonya) is incredible. We feel well-communicated with and love the small family feel of the school, which differentiates it from some of the chain preschools. Would absolutely encourage you to put this on your short list.
My son was very shy and hesitant to start preschool this year after being at someone's home for the past 4 years. However, he now LOVES Cypress Creek Montessori and said he doesn't want to change schools (he will be going to kindergarten next year). The teachers and staff are very friendly and truly supportive, and there are always things/activities to look forward to. He has had a wonderful first experience for his first year of school!!!
Cons:
A positive about the school - I didn't see the existing staff leave their jobs in the past 5 months - the school must be doing something right there as compared to some other schools we have been, where there is a high employee/teacher turn over.
My girl has been doing there for a year and I can't recommended enough. She came from a traditional preschool and the Montessori method made her more confident. The school is small and has a loving atmosphere. Always clean and organized too. She knows and likes all the staff, specially Ms Leah, her main teacher. She will be leaving soon for Kindergarten but I think Cypress Creek Montessori School made a great job preparing for this next chapter! Thank you all!
* The only downside of the school I could think of is its distance to our place and the traffic along the way. It takes around 30 mins one way. With traffic, we usually spend more than 2 hours each day on the road, just to drop off and pick up our son. But still, we think it’s worthwhile for the great education our son is getting at CCMS.
Pros:
My son has been to several traditional preschools and another Montessori school before we put him in CCMS, and this is the best school we've encountered so far. He has been in CCMS for 1.5 years now, and about to graduate to kindergarten. He has changed from a hyperactive boy who often gets in trouble, to a confident boy who knows how to respect himself and others. He really loves the teachers there, and doesn't want to leave.
