If anyone else in the area applied to CMP and won a space in Tuesday’s TK/K lottery, I must say CONGRATULATIONS!!! CMP is one of the best decisions I made in regards to Isaiah’s educational and social emotional needs.
Be prepared to have a very independent child who can do things we don’t expect on their own. A child who can problem solve without our help, a child who learns chores at school and does them at home, and a kid who can plant things and weed your garden.
Anyone whose child will be attending next year is more than welcome to hit me up and ask questions.
In the meantime, send my sister positive vibes for a rare 3rd grade spot. Before the pandemic, if you didn’t get in after 1st grade, forget it. This year might be her golden opportunity due to many children going to homeschool instead. I was also able to talk to some people and because her nephew is a student and she’s the sister of a parent, she gets sibling priority. I would love for her to get in, my sister has major recall issues with letters and numbers and I think Montessori would give her the tools she needs to cope despite the recall issues.
