Maryland publishes an infant band and a school-age band and no others, so these are not a total capacity and say nothing about toddler or preschool places.

  This is our first year at CMMS - Gaithersburg, and it has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, the school has been incredibly welcoming, creating an environment where families feel comfortable and supported right away. What truly stands out is how diverse and inclusive the community is—every culture is respected and celebrated, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure each child and family feels accommodated. One of the things we appreciate most is how excited our son is every day. He comes home eager to share what he has learned and the activities he has participated in, which speaks volumes about the engaging and thoughtful approach to learning. The curriculum is very well balanced and truly highlights the strengths of the Montessori model—encouraging independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. Communication with parents has also been exceptional. The school does an amazing job of keeping us informed and involved, with regular updates across all areas. As a family new to the school, we have also been very grateful for the strong parent network—it has been incredibly helpful in building connections and feeling like part of the community. We also love the variety of extracurricular activities offered, including Spanish, yoga, music, and soccer. These programs add so much value and enrichment to the children’s experience. A special thank you to my son’s teachers, Ms. Luda and Ms. Bindu, as well as the other wonderful teachers, for the care and dedication they show every day. They, along with the school director, Ms. Parastoo, clearly have warm and meaningful relationships with the children, which makes a huge difference. Finally, the school hosts many events and field trips throughout the year, which add to the sense of community and keep the experience fun and engaging for both children and parents. We could not be happier with our experience at CMMS and highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, inclusive, and enriching preschool environment.

  We are incredibly happy with our experience at CMMS and feel so grateful for the love and care our son receives every day. A very special mention to Ms. Navisha and Ms. Arjita, who have been absolutely wonderful. Since our son had never been to school before, we were naturally a bit anxious about how he would adjust. But they made him feel so comfortable and at home from day one that he settled in effortlessly, he didn’t even ask for us after the first few days! What truly stands out is the personal attention they give each child. Every day at pick-up, they take the time to share updates about what he did, learned, and enjoyed. It really shows how much they care for every child. They also strike a perfect balance between fun activities and academics. In just the first two months, our son has learned so many new things, all thanks to Ms. Navisha and Ms. Arjita. We feel very lucky to have such amazing teachers guiding our son’s early learning journey. A special shoutout to Ms. Parasto as well, whose leadership and personal connection with every child and parent make this school even more special (She knows every child and parent by name 😊).

  Our son recently started at CMMS Gaithersburg about 3 months ago, and we’ve already seen such a positive impact. He absolutely loves going to school every day, which says everything! The teachers genuinely care and take the time to understand each child’s unique personality and learning style. It’s been a great fit for him, and we’re really glad we chose this school. The school is very neatly maintained and always gives off such positive vibes. It’s a warm, welcoming environment where kids are encouraged to explore and grow at their own pace. Highly recommend to any parent considering Montessori education!

  Our toddler transformed from shy and timid after starting at a new school into a confident, outgoing, and enthusiastic child. Every day, he excitedly talks about his teachers—whom he absolutely adores—his friends, and the engaging activities he participates in at CMMS. The program is wonderfully well-rounded, offering everything from yoga and mindfulness to music, where he explores different instruments and learns his favorite songs. He’s also been introduced to Spanish and a variety of international traditions, which has been incredible to see at such a young age. It’s truly inspiring to watch him thrive in an environment that nurtures both his confidence and curiosity. The children who come out of CMMS give me hope for the future. That’s a direct reflection of the dedicated teachers and amazing staff who genuinely care for and support each child in their care every single day.

  We started our daughter here in January, and it has been a great choice. She has made friends, enjoyed many new activities, and is learning new things every day! The teacher's are good communicators, extremely knowledgeable and very kind, as are all the staff who work here and run the school.

  My son has been going to CMMS since he was 2 years old, and our experience has been wonderful. His first teacher was Ms. Danielle, and now he is with Ms. Luda. Both teachers have been amazing. He has learned so much, and the teachers are always warm and welcoming. They create a safe and caring environment for the children.
