Classroom Environment

At CMS, the children are provided with an environment that is clean, child-sized and beautiful. The children feel a sense of order around them whether on the playground or in the classroom. Each activity is an inviting object that calls to be used. It is our gift of beauty to the children that helps foster respect and pride for their surroundings and provides a peaceful, responsible attitude at school. This important attention to the classroom environment is the first sign that the children entering the community will be respected. In our rooms you will find classic works of art and not cartoons. You will see wooden handcrafted furniture instead of plastic chairs and tables in loud colors. At lunch or snack time the children set the tables with place mats, glass plates and glasses. With these opportunities to use real objects, not toys, the children feel important and confident and treat these materials with a spontaneous respect that awes most parents observing the children for the first time.
