   Wonderful! Grand building, excellent teaching system. That’s very exciting.

   I wish my childhood school had looked like that.

   I’ve frequently wondered what use that building could be put to for the benefit of the community … this looks like a great idea. I hope it works.

   Of all the things I have wanted in Church Hill, I never dreamed there could be a Montessori school so close to home. Fingers AND toes crossed on this one!

   i am a neighbor and i think a small school will be a good use for the freaky metal building. the non-conventional building might fit well with the non-conventional montessori program.

   Awesome. It’ll be great to see that building used for something more than $200 haircuts. I wish them luck- the private school biz is tough in this area.

    I have a 5 month old son. I live on 23rd Street. I am ecstatic we can have a Montessori school, so close by. I would be more than pleased if he could attend.

    Great building, great location, brilliant use of both. Finally, a real positive educational opportinity for folks in very overlooked east end of the City! This will also likely have a positive impact on the publics schools in the neighborhood too.

    How will this have a positive impact on the public schools? Isn’t that like saying bringing in a Starbucks improves the taste of (insert your favorite gas station here) coffee?

    Went to the open house today at Central Montessori and my daughter, upon entering the space, exclaimed, “This isn’t a school…(because) where’s the torture room?” Central Montessori is a huge plus for the community. Support it whether or not you have children attending.

    I am curious to know what a “torture room” is… And thankful that my son has not found one — happy at CMS!
