Fun, warm, friendly – CMCC is this & more: full-day & full-year options for 2-6 year olds, quality Montessori education, embracing nature,& convenient A safe, friendly program for children from age 2 through kindergarten, designed to enrich your child’s whole being. Culpeper Montessori Children’s Community provides you with full-day and full-year options, individualized education, a connection to nature, and peace of mind that your child is having fun, learning happily, and playing joyfully. Culpeper Montessori Children’s Community provides a full-day, full-year program for children from the age of two through kindergarten. We have two classrooms: the Toddler Community for children from two to three and the Primary Community for children from two and a half to six. We use natural and organic materials in our classrooms and connect your child with the outside environment. We provide the highest quality of Montessori education for your child. Through the use of Montessori materials – toys designed to be didactic (self-learning) and engaging – your child will progress academically from concrete to abstract, from simple to complex. By supporting the natural inclination towards independence and freedom, your child will be able to move at his or her own pace through the curriculum and receive a solid educational foundation for elementary school. In Montessori, we speak about a child’s “work”, but it is not the same as the tedious, monotonous work that we think of as adults. Your child will see this work as play, for it allows your child to be challenged, to explore, to be engaged, and to have fun. A Montessori education is more than academic preparation. We will also help your child develop his or her emotional intelligence, critical thinking skills, motivation, social and communication skills, and sense of mindfulness – all attributes necessary in our hectic twenty-first century world.
