The vision of the school is to provide quality education based on Montessori approach; to actively involve parents in their children education; to grow the school to be a thriving community of children, parents, faculty, and staff in the beautiful surroundings, working towards a shared vision, and held together by common-sense educational values. CMA is governed by a Board of Trustees and advisors comprising of distinguished leaders, whose role include a Montessori Teacher, Montessori educator, School Law Attorney, CPA and business professional. CMA maintains affiliations/memberships with the following organizations: American Montessori Society (AMS) North American Montessori Teachers Association (NAMTA) International Montessori Council (IMC) National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
Centennial Montessori Academy is an excellent school. After months of visiting schools in Frisco and Mckinney, I was thrilled to have found CMA. My son Thomas has been there since he was 20 months old. After 2 weeks of attending school, I could really see a difference in him. He was becoming more verbal and feeling more comfortable around his peers and adults in general. Now that he's almost 3 yrs old, I'm excited to see him reach new goals. I am confident that he will thrive in his new classroom and that his new teachers will care and nurture him just as much as his current toddler teachers.
CMA is also conveniently located at the corner of Alma and Eldorado and is therefore, ideal as both a Mckinney and a Frisco Montessori Preschool.
I highly recommend CMA to anyone who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their children.

It occurs to me as a fellow educator that we do not receive feedback often enough when a job well-done. Therefore, I want to take a moment and compliment the teachers and support staff at Centennial Montessori Academy.
My husband and I enrolled Benjamin in your summer program to acclimate him to a school environment before I started my teaching assignment in August. CMA's flexibility with Ben's summer enrollment schedule and extra time spent with me and my husband at your early-summer open house immediately put us at ease. We were impressed with the facility and faculty present that afternoon, namely Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Betty, who made us feel welcome and answered our questions.
Benjamin has not only adjusted to his school environment, but he seems to be thriving. He will eagerly stand at the back door each morning with his lunch sack in hand when I tell him that we are going to school. each day i witness new behaviors that tell me he is learning positive attributes: sneezing/coughing on the back of his hand, walking orderly with his hands behind his back, putting his toys away when told the first time (most days), wanting to sit on the potty after each diaper change, pushing his chair towards the table, and speaking new words and phrases.
For all of these reasons and more, my husband and I want to thank you and express appreciation for your collective efforts to care for and nurture our little Benjamin

We moved our 2 year old daughter into Centennial Montessori Academy after having her in a daycare center. We were looking for a school that would focus more on her individuality, education and include family involvement rather than just a "daycare" environment. My husband and I looked at many options, but knew from the first moment of arrival that Centennial was the one. Fortunately, Centennial has become exactly the school "family" for which we were looking. I can't say enough great things about Centennial regarding everything from the excitement our daughter has every morning when she gets to go to school to the genuinely caring and nurturing teachers. Our daughter absolutely LOVES Centennial. It's amazing to us how much she has changed in just the short time she has been there. She has become quite independent and suddenly loves to share with her friends. It's not just her attitude that has changed; she has more self confidence and is much more outgoing. She gets to enjoy art, music, PE, Spanish and nature all in a days "work" and tells great stories and sings songs. Its the best feeling in the world to pick her up at the end of the day and see her true delight as she tells me about the great day she had with her friends and teachers.
I would highly recommend a visit to Centennial if you are looking for a caring, nurturing and safe educational environment for your child that is miles above the rest. Believe me, we looked at many options.

We are so happy with the care, education and nurturing our child receives at Centennial Montessori. We were looking for a school that would allow my daughter to feel SAFE, accepted, and excited to come everyday. I am happy to say that the school meets all these criteria and much more. Our daughter is happy to see her friends in the morning and I have trouble getting her to leave in the afternoon. As working parents, we have confidence during the day that she is safe and well taken care of. We know that she is receiving great instruction in academics, but is also learning essential life skills through the Montessori instruction. The owners of this school take such pride in their reputation and really make sure that the teachers, parents and the kids are all happy. We definitely recommend this school!

This school is a blessing for our family. The staff is so amazing! The teachers truly care about my children and are so gentle and loving with them.
They have changed my sons into little independent thinkers and doers and it is so cool. I would highly highly recommend!

We have had a very positive experience with CMA, our son has flourished in the Montessori environment. We find the staff to be sincere and find their love of children shows. Every day our four year old is able to articulate a new experience he learned at CMA, whether it is planting bulbs and watching them sprout or new artwork or sounds. The facilities are beautiful, the location convenient and staff is exemplary. We found the self paced environment of Montessori exactly what we needed for our curious investigative child. It is certainly worth the time to see if CMA is right for yours.

Through the years our children have been in several Montessori schools and environments.
Centennial Montessori Academy is just an amazing place... from the credited staff to the very apparent investment that they have made in teaching of the Montessori experience....
We just love it.

I have two children (my 3 and 5-year-old daughters) enrolled at Centennial Montessori Academy, and I am more than pleased with the progress they are making.
The facility is beautiful and peaceful, well designed and well lit (I love sunlight, so I love the windows!). Just visiting the school, you can see how the environment would foster a sense of calm and learning.
My children enjoy their days and are always eager to tell me what they learned and what activities they participated in. They are learning Spanish (and teaching it to me), music, yoga, other physical games and education alongside the usual lessons one would expect - numbers, letters, motor skills, etc. They love playing outside and there is plenty of room to run and play.
The teachers are awesome - patient, kind, caring, and experienced in the Montessori philosophy and curriculum. When I spoke with them at the parent/teacher conferences, I was pleased to see how well they knew each of my children, their differences, their strengths, and their weaknesses.
I would highly recommend Centennial Montessori Academy to anyone who is looking for a great Montessori school for their children!
