Community Montessori Columbus

CMC is an independent, nonprofit program dedicated to offering accessible, fully-implemented Montessori education and child care to families in Columbus and throughout Central Ohio.

We are now enrolling children from 2.5 through 5 years old in our mixed-age learning communities called Children's Houses. CMC is open most normal business days with a range of academic-year and full-year schedules. We offer Partial Day, Full Day, and Extended Day options from 7:30 AM through 5:30 PM. In future years, we hope to expand to include an elementary program as well as options for infants and toddlers.

Our goal, as an intentionally diverse and socially responsible institution, is to make joining CMC accessible and affordable to as many Central Ohio families as possible. To meet that goal, we offer Sliding Scale Fees to all families across a range of scheduling options. This means we charge fees to families that are responsive to their financial circumstances and childcare needs (as opposed to a single set of fees for all families). CMC is also a PFCC (formerly Title XX) provider.
