CMS has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past 17 years. Our school campus is located on 5 acres of land. Our beautiful new building meets all the needs of our young students and our land provides the perfect setting for our barn, animals and and expansive natural playground (with a mud pit to enjoy on rainy days). Children experience the joys of a farm; tapping trees and boiling sap into maple syrup, grinding wheat into flour, baking muffins with eggs from the chicken coup. Shearing, dying and spinning wool into yarn is particularly fun in the spring along with the arrival of new lambs.

Countryside’s story and success is due in large part to the wonderful support we’ve received from the surrounding community. We are deeply grateful for all of the families and volunteers that have helped us on this journey.

Dr. Montessori discovered that children flourish in an environment that offers independence, order and self discipline. Materials appropriate for their age and development allow the children to complete daily tasks without the aid of an adult. Independence coupled with self-discipline creates an environment where children can work diligently and eagerly develop their skills and knowledge at their own pace. Gaining independence builds confidence, motivation and self sufficiency. All of these qualities help prepare the child for future success in primary education and beyond.

The Goals of Countryside Montessori School
To prepare your child for academic success by fostering reading and math beginning at age 3.
To provide a classroom environment that is calm, happy, quiet, and where children are able to learn and are free to direct their learning.
To nurture independence by offering learning activities that are self correcting and age appropriate.
To expose each child to cultures, art, science, and music in a way that motivates learning and stimulates curiosity.
To develop an awareness and respect for others through the teaching of manners and the modeling of cooperation and respect.
