Welcome! We are a Montessori school with the resources, materials, and staff to provide the best education to the young children and to the families of San Dimas and surrounding communities. Our aim is to provide quality education to the children within the context of mutual respect and joy. We realize that creativity is an important tool in education and encourage developmentally appropriate creative activity. Our teachers are trained by AMS teacher training. The curriculum focuses on developing all aspects of a child's life and is based on well researched and proven techniques formulated by Dr. Maria Montessori. Through her experience and research she established the fact that "The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to age six." Our school Motto has been "We make learning fun" and that has been the key to our success here at CMC of Via Verde. Emotional Development - We address skills needed to be a positive member of community.
