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.

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?

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.

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.

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 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.

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’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.
