The More We Get Together....

Welcome Breakfast

We like to kick off the school year with a casual breakfast social for our students and their families. It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to meet, start new friendships, reconnect with old friends and enjoy casual conversation with the teachers and staff.

Fall Festival

This annual event is a beloved tradition for our children and families as we celebrate the arrival of the fall season. Hosted by the Crabapple Montessori Parent Association (CMPA), the event features festive games, seasonal crafts, music, dancing, and our Elementary students’ Entrepreneur Market, where students showcase their creativity, initiative, and entrepreneurial spirit.

Whimsical Winter Ball

This is an enchanting evening for the whole family to celebrate the CMS community. Families are invited to dress their best and enjoy music, dancing and special moments together.

“Love Around the World” Spring Festival

Crabapple Montessori’s signature event, Love Around the World, celebrates the diverse cultures, traditions, and beauty found across our global community. Each classroom immerses itself in studying a particular continent in the weeks leading up to the event. There are cultural displays, artifacts, and foods from countries around the world. Families and friends are invited to celebrate with live music and activities for all ages.

Montessori Morning

CMS hosts a monthly parent meet-up where we come together to talk about parenthood—the joys, the challenges, and how the Montessori philosophy can support us along the way. 

Parent Information Night

Offered twice a year in the fall and spring, Parent Night gives you an opportunity to learn from the CMS teachers about different areas of the Montessori curriculum and ask questions specific to their child’s classroom. Because whole child development is central to a Montessori education, it is important for parents to understand Montessori principles and participate in the process. This is why we have a policy that attendance by at least one parent is mandatory.

Parent/Teacher Conference

Scheduled conferences are held twice a year, in the Fall and Spring. Teachers meet with parents individually to discuss their child’s progress covering academic, social and emotional development. Additional conferences are scheduled as needed.
