Central Montessori Pre-School/ Kindergarten is a non-denominational, co-educational private school that will offer a Montessori learning environment at 286 El Camino Real in Encinitas, San Diego North County, California.
Montessori children consistently score high on standardized tests. But there is much more to Montessori than reading, writing and arithmetic.
Montessori children learn social and everyday living skills. They are shown how to take charge of their own learning and working, and encouraged to develop self confidence based on real achievement - truly, and education for like.
At CMS, your family joins an association of parents, grandparents, administrators, and teachers committed to their children's education, mental and physical growth in a safe and happy environment.
Central Montessori's Toddler Program offers professional childcare and an early childhood education program that introduces the Montessori Philosophy and Methodology to children from 18 months to 2 years of age. Our teachers are committed to providing quality care.
