Description: Nestled close to the mountains in North Central Phoenix is an educational oasis situated on 1.5 acres of shaded trees and palms, Community Montessori School. At Community Montessori, children are not only afforded an academic curriculum way beyond their peers, but also an opportunity to grow in emotional maturity, developing responsibility for one’s self and community, as well as acquiring etiquette and manners. By following the principals of Dr. Maria Montessori these blossoming children acquire many skills and traits of character that positively impact them for life.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
