I am very pleased with PCM. This is the first year my daughter has attended and she has done well! The school is very true to the Montessori methods. The school understands its purpose and its mission and stays true to it. The teachers are very nurturing and caring. The place has a family atmosphere. Everyone knows my daughter's name, even those people who are not her specific teachers. We receive regular communication from the school and/or our daughter's room parent. The most important testament to me is that my daughter loves going to school. \r

One area that the school could work on is better planning on events, meetings, etc. Dates regularly change for meetings and events, some because of unforeseen events, such as weather issues. It is difficult for us 2 family working parent households to adjust our schedules so quickly. In addition, some events have seemed to have been thrown together at the last minute with requests for donations and/or parent involvement within a day or two of the event. We want to be involved parents, and more upfront planning and communication would be great in helping us meet that goal.
