Admissions
Inquiry
Email Children's Montessori School (montessorilompoc@gmail.com) and the School Director, Jim Murphy, can send you more information in the mail and set up an appointment for a tour of the school and to meet the teachers.
An introductory meeting gives us an opportunity to meet you and your child and to discuss Montessori education, our program and your plans for your child's schooling. At this time we can set up a time for you to observe the classrooms. We can also provide the contact information of parents who would be glad to talk about their experience at CMS and to answer questions.
