Hi CMCH families! I’m Morah Miri, and I’m so excited to step into my new role as Curriculum Coordinator. In each edition of Highlights, I’ll share a little peek into what our children are learning, exploring, and experiencing across CMCH. I can’t wait to bring you along!

A note from Dassie on those first-day nerves, the beauty of a swift goodbye, and the joyful start already unfolding at CMCH.

Our first days back have been all about finding our rhythm… getting to know new classrooms and Morahs, reconnecting with friends, settling into routines, and diving back into work and play. From first Montessori works to art projects, outdoor adventures, and lots of little moments in between, take a peek at how each classroom kicked off the new school year!

At CMCH, some of the most exciting “new” faces aren’t really new at all! This year, we’re celebrating our highest staff retention rate yet while welcoming familiar members of our community into new roles. From current and former parents joining our faculty, to longtime Morahs stepping into new positions and returning to our classrooms, our team is a beautiful reflection of the community we’ve intentionally built over the years. We’re so excited to welcome Morah Bracha, Morah Amina, and Morah Sarah to our faculty—and to celebrate the familiar faces beginning exciting new chapters at CMCH.

Your voice matters. In this special welcome letter, Rebbetzin Dassie New shares how parent feedback has influenced our plans for the coming year and what you can look forward to at CMCH.

Families often ask why CMCH chose the Montessori method. This week, we're sharing how Montessori and Chabad philosophy work hand in hand to nurture confident, capable, and compassionate Jewish children.

Want to give your child a head start before the first day of school? It might be as simple as letting them zip their own jacket or pack their own backpack. Read below for a few easy ways to build confidence and independence before school begins.

Chanukah, Israel Week, Mother's Tea, Lag BaOmer, Sports Day with Dad, Graduation, and so much more; take a walk down memory lane as we look back on a remarkable year at CMCH.

The magic of CMCH doesn't happen by accident. It happens because of the remarkable people who show up every day to support our children, our families, and our community.
