IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Preschool Program will be suspended for the 2026-27 school year.
A decision about the 2027-2028 school year will be made in the spring of 2027.
Our private preschool program focuses on teaching your child Montessori practical life skills such as care of self (ie. learning to wash one’s hands, getting dressed) care of the environment (ie. setting up and cleaning after snack and lunch, dusting the tables), and control of movement (walking in a line, learning to be silent) and getting them acquainted with Kindergarten routines. In our Montessori mixed-age classroom these students are in an environment with daily lessons, community circle time and work cycle time.
Preschool Admission Requirements
In order to be considered for admission, the child must be 4 years old by the start of the school year applying for, should be completely toilet trained, able to independently clean themselves in all areas associated with the bathroom, able to dress themselves with minimal adult assistance, and able to successfully separate from parents to fully function in the classroom with peers. Students that have continual accidents are not considered toilet-trained and therefore cannot remain in the program. Diapers and pull-ups are not permitted at Casa. If you are offered a seat, a registration fee will be charged. Applications can be emailed to admissions@cemcs.org or dropped off at the front office.
