An Education as Unique as Your Child
"Within the child lives the fate of our future" - Maria Montessori
WelcomeNow in its 40th year, ECM has much to be proud of and there is much to celebrate. Quality Montessori education is amply evident; the faculty is clearly committed to best Montessori practice, and this is readily seen in how they engage the children, as well as from the high level of challenge they require from the children. The administrative staff is devoted to the school. Parents are enthusiastic and the parent board members are clearly dedicated.
