Our Elkridge location offers Montessori preschool and kindergarten programs.
Children’s Magnet – Our Montessori School in Elkridge opened its doors in 2016, and is conveniently located off Old Washington Road and Route 1, just minutes from Route 100, Interstate 95, BWI Airport and UMBC. CMMS – Elkridge sits on a beautiful 9 acre lush campus that it shares with our sister school, the Maryland International School – a grade 1-12 International Baccalaureate World School. This location features a large library with an indoor playground, gymnasium, auditorium/ multipurpose room, entry security system, and a large playground.
All classrooms include quality Montessori materials and an engaging, hands-on learning environment set up to foster each student’s development to their full potential. In addition to daily classroom instruction, students receive enrichment in STEM, Spanish, Music and Yoga. Our Montessori School in Elkridge focuses on the development of the whole child. We’re more than a traditional daycare program. We offer Montessori based preschool and kindergarten programs that balance the social/emotional, cognitive, physical and academic development of children. See Our Programs.
