LORENA CATTOIRA-NAVEIRA
SCHOOL DIRECTOR
​

      As parents, we know that making sure your child receives the best education is paramount to you as you search for a school. When it comes to education, there are many different methods and approaches in use today.

     However, it is my belief that the more research you do, will always lead you to the same conclusion, that the Montessori Method is the premier method to unlock the potential in a child. Our school is founded on the basic principles of education used and developed by Maria Montessori.

     By adhering to even the simplest of techniques, we strive to ensure that the manner and approach used with each and every child is given in a way that maximizes their ability to learn, explore and discover, thus fulfilling Maria Montessori’s original belief that providing this type of learning and environment produces the very best in every child. I encourage you to visit our school and let us share with you how your child can begin down the road to a rewarding education where the benefits last a lifetime.

A Note From Our Director

Meet Our Teachers

 Ms.Natasha's interest in Montessori began in early 2001 when her son attended a Montessori school. She quickly fell in love with the philosophy and knew it was her calling. After graduating from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale with a Bachelor's degree of Science in Marketing she went on to pursue her Montessori certifications.  She now holds an Early Childhood and Lower Elementary credential from MACTE/IMC and AMI.  Ms. Natasha enjoys spending time with her loving family and pets.  

 Ms. Denise is a co-founder of CMS and director of the Elementary program which is inspired by Maria Montessori's precept to 'follow the child'. Her dream of owning a Montessori school that fosters self-discovery and leadership came true in mid 2002.   She holds a degree in Early Childhood, a B.S. in Psychology, and Montessori credentials from Primary, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary and Middle School.  She enjoys working with children at all levels and loves to go to the beach, dance, and travel with family.

After working several years in traditional education Ms. Vanessa was introduced to Montessori when her daughter began attending CMS.  She quickly embraced the Montessori philosophy and has completed her MACTE/IMC Elementary Montessori Certification with Center for Guided Montessori Studies. She holds a Professional Educator's Certificate, a BS in Elementary Education and a MS in Social Work. Yet her most cherished years as a  teacher has been working with her  Montessori students.  She enjoys reading and spending time in her family farm.
