About CCM

Creekside Christian Montessori is a school that inspires critical thinkers and lifelong learners. We aim to meet the uniqueness of each child by addressing their needs in a nurturing, emotionally secure, yet educational environment. We believe that education is not solely acquired by reading, writing, and listening. Instead, education is best obtained by experiences in which the child is an active participant in their environment. Our mission is for our students to learn, grow, and excel in an environment of security, understanding, and consistency. Our array of Montessori-designed activities and materials allow our students to work from concrete experiences towards an understanding of abstract concepts. Our activities are sequenced to encourage independence, inquiry, and problem-solving.

Our vision at Creekside Christian Montessori is to educate our students to prepare them for purposeful lives as global, respectable citizens. Our vision runs parallel with the biblical scripture Proverbs 22:6. "Train up a child in the way they should go, so that when they are old they will not depart from it". At Creekside, we strive to instruct, show, demonstrate, explain, and train our students according to their individual personality, disposition, giftings, talents, character, and learning proficiency. We believe that when our students grow to maturity, they will not abandon or turn away from what they have learned.

Learn About CCM's History and a Message from our Head of School

Creekside Christian Montessori is a Non-Profit Christian School located in De Pere, Wisconsin. Our school was established in 2000 when the founders, a husband and wife, decided to start a school that would cater to their young children's education. Creekside Christian Montessori started with just two preschool classrooms and one Kindergarten classroom. Over the years, we have grown and expanded our programs, catering to students from Toddler to 5th grade. Our growth is attributed to word-of-mouth and the outstanding reputation of our teachers. Our heart is to have quality enriched programs rather than quantity.

In 1912, Creekside Christian Montessori's building was originally occupied by the nuns of St. Mary's Catholic Church. The parish ultimately relocated, and the building was converted into a school. Our school's facilities are designed to provide a safe, secure, and conducive learning environment for our students. We have various classrooms equipped with Montessori materials and learning tools that enable our students to learn and grow. Our school also has a spacious play area where our students can engage in physical activities during their breaks.

At Creekside Christian Montessori, we are committed to providing high-quality education that fosters the holistic development of our students. Our approach to education is grounded in Montessori principles, and we incorporate Christian values to guide our students in their learning journey. We believe that every child is unique and capable of achieving great things. As such, we are dedicated to providing individualized attention and support to enable our students to reach their full potential.
