Welcome From The Head of School

To Our Visitors,

Wel­come to the Cres­cent Montes­sori School Website.

Whether you are meet­ing us for the first time or are a return­ing vis­i­tor, thank you for tak­ing time to learn about CMS.  Our aim for your visit as you explore the pro­grams, com­mu­nity, events and cam­pus of CMS, is that you will get a feel for the dynamic, cre­ative and car­ing place that our staff has cre­ated at Cres­cent Montes­sori School. Our fore­most com­mit­ment to the fam­i­lies at CMS is to be a Whole School for the Whole Child.

Cres­cent Montes­sori is designed with the chil­dren and stu­dents at the cen­ter. Today, as we renew our promise to pro­vid­ing the finest in Montes­sori edu­ca­tion, we cel­e­brate the suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of a five-year plan and move toward a full spec­trum Montes­sori School for chil­dren and stu­dents ages two through fif­teen. Our pro­grams engage stu­dents in the joy of dis­cov­ery, the sat­is­fac­tion of per­se­ver­ing and becom­ing life­long learn­ers. Our staff is devoted to help­ing stu­dents learn to make choices, work hard, over­come obsta­cles and par­tic­i­pate mean­ing­fully in their education.

At CMS every teacher knows every child. Our teach­ers are highly edu­cated, expe­ri­enced and ded­i­cated. They are learn­ers them­selves who embody our mis­sion and phi­los­o­phy – peo­ple your chil­dren can look up to and will remem­ber long after their time at CMS.

The web­site pages will guide you to the infor­ma­tion you need to sched­ule a school tour. I look for­ward to meet­ing you and shar­ing my enthu­si­asm for our won­der­ful school.

~Karin Niehoff, Head of School

All chil­dren are warmly wel­comed to Cres­cent Montes­sori School. We value diver­sity of nation­al­ity, eth­nic ori­gin, race, color and religion.
