We have been attending MCS for a couple of years now and absolutely love it! The staff truly cares for these children! Academically my children have excelled over their public school peers and genuinely want to go to school! They have a wonderful music program and their outdoor gardens are spectacular for the kids to explore! If you're considering a montessori school-this one gets my vote by far!
