Camelback Estates IV

If you’re looking to be part of a school community - this is the place to be. There are so many opportunities for family involvement and it shows in the classroom. The teaching staff is amazing. My children (each very different from the others) have always been excited to go to school and learn new things because the teachers capture the kids’ desire to gain knowledge. The campus is new and dynamic- there is a school bus built into the library and the art class room features a glass garage door to open the space. We love Cherokee!

My children wake up happy and excited to go to school every single day. They look forward to time in the classroom as well as their community on the playground.

We transitioned our daughter to Community Montessori School from another Montessori program, and it has been the best decision for our family. While many schools use the 'Montessori' label as a marketing term, CMS remains deeply committed to the authentic practice. The difference in our daughter is remarkable: she used to come home irritable and overstimulated, but since joining CMS, she is noticeably calmer and more regulated. The teachers cultivate a truly intentional environment that supports both her academic growth and emotional well-being.

My child loved going to school and often wanted to stay longer! It's critical that children start in an environment that actually encourages a love for learning and I feel Chaparral does this. Most of the staff has been there for awhile which tells you something about their character and how much they love the school as well. The enrollment schedule is flexible and the tuition is very reasonable. They will be opening another school on campus for older students which will incorporate a lot of the same concepts and I can't wait to find out more!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Christ Church School. Our son attended the Cubbies program last year and is now entering the 3s, and watching his growth over that time has been incredible.Like many little ones, he was nervous walking into school on his very first day. Throughout the year, we watched him grow in confidence, independence, socially, and academically. What I love most about CCS is that everything the teachers do has a purpose. They are thoughtfully building the foundation and skills the children will carry with them throughout their education, while making learning so fun and engaging that the children don’t even realize how much they are learning.The teachers are truly exceptional. They are loving, patient, encouraging, and so intentional in the way they teach and care for each child. Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going to school. Seeing him excited to walk through those doors and hearing him talk about his teachers and friends is everything we could ask for as parents.CCS really is such a special place. We feel incredibly grateful that our son gets to begin his education in a community that makes learning joyful, meaningful, and fun. We are so excited for another wonderful year!
