This spacious facility (19,000 sq. ft.) sits on three acres of land. Our beautiful tree-lined campus features a beautiful school building, an adjacent auditorium with a multipurpose room, a private garden and outdoor classroom, entry security system, plentiful library, computer lab, and a large playground. Over the course of over 30 years, CMMS – Ellicott City has educated 1000’s of students and remains the standard for Montessori preschools in Howard County and surrounding areas.
Unlike traditional daycares, all our 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, Yoga, Art, Computer Science, and Library. Our Montessori School in Ellicott City focuses on the development of the whole child. We offer Montessori based Infant & Toddler care, preschool, kindergarten and elementary school programs that balance the social/emotional, cognitive, physical and academic development of children.

Ms. Shahana Srivastava
Director
Shahana Srivastava has been at CMMS – Ellicott City since 2010, beginning as an intern, transitioning to teacher/ Assistant Director in 2012 and then becoming Director in 2014. Originally from India, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce, Certificate in Business Management and Marketing, and Certification in Early Childhood Development from the Barrie School. Her view of education and the value of a child’s thoughts and words changed when she started learning about Montessori. Shahana believes “It’s exactly what I was looking for at the right time in life. I see how Montessori education encourages a child’s curiosity, independence, and enthusiasm while they learn so much (social skills, daily living skills, math, language and other traditional courses).”
Ms. Sarah Thompson
ADMINISTRATOR
Sarah Thompson has been working in the Early Childhood education field for over 14 years, joining CMMS Ellicott City as an Administrator in 2021. She earned her Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education and is currently pursuing her Master’s in Early Childhood Education. Ms. Sarah’s initial interest in education came from observing the profound impact that nurturing care and learning experiences can have on children as they grow: she especially enjoys witnessing the excitement that children express when engaging in learning. “I have always felt a deep sense of pride in being able to positively influence children’s lives and contribute to their future development.”
