[quote=Anonymous]I have two children at CHM@L and we have all been quite happy there. Both of my children had new teachers (in their first year of teaching) to the school and we were never asked to supply any "montessori" materials. Teachers certainly ask for donations over the course of the year but we parents are always more than happy to bring in construction paper and hand sanitizer. We have never been asked to purchase anything terribly expensive. We even had one Dad volunteer to build a bookshelf for the classroom to avoid overpaying for one. This exemplifies what I think is one of the schools best assets - it's community. The principal can come off as superficial, yes, but he does a great job at running the school and shouldn't take the blame for the puddle that used to plague us on rainy days. If montessori is the right fit for your child than I would definitely recommend CHM@L. We lucked out and have had great teachers - being young and new graduates means all the information and skills are fresh in their minds, they are patient and kind and genuine in their concern for the children. Now, all that being said, no school is perfect. I've had some concerns over the last two years including recent assistant hires and a little attitude from office staff but nothing major. [/quote]
