“We have been thoroughly impressed by the exceptional blend of a close-knit community feel and outstanding organization. Despite being a smaller network of schools, CMMS operates with a level of professionalism and structure that surpasses larger institutions. CMMS has truly been a breath of fresh air, providing an organized, nurturing, and joyful learning environment for our little one.”

“The staff, from the director to the teachers and aides, are not only immensely pleasant but also genuinely committed to the children’s wellbeing. Our son always comes home clean, happy, and excited to share his day with us. CMMS teachers have invested the time and energy to build an emotional bond with our child so much so that he wants to go to school.”
