My Montessori opens at 100 TradeCenter in Woburn

WOBURN, MA, August 29, 2011 —Cummings Properties welcomes new client My Montessori of Woburn, opening at 100 TradeCenter in early September, just in time to give parents working in the area another option for convenient, affordable childcare.

Converting traditional office space into warm, welcoming Montessori classrooms was an exciting challenge for Cummings Properties designers, said leasing director Rob Yacobian. So was the shortened production schedule, which had designers and construction crews working diligently to get the space ready for the first day of school.

“It was a big project, and we had about half the usual time to get it done,” Yacobian said. “My Montessori needed everything completed in time to hire staff and hold open houses.”

Puja Jain of Lexington, owner of My Montessori, said, “It was a blessing working with Cummings Properties. When they started, the space was just a blank slate, and now people say it has so much warmth. The school never would have happened without them.”

Cummings Properties is a full service commercial real estate development, property management, and construction firm, located in Woburn for more than 40 years.

My Montessori, occupying more than 5,000 square feet of classroom and playground space, is located on the campus of TradeCenter 128, Cummings Properties’ landmark office park, which also houses the popular 350-seat Beacon Grille restaurant and the Middlesex County Superior Court.

The preschool offers half, full, and extended day schedules, with hours ranging from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Included in the programs are music, art, yoga, language, two snacks per day, and an optional catered lunch.

Jain said she has been passionate about the Montessori method ever since her son attended a Montessori school.

“When I saw how it helped him with his concentration, how he became more focused and independent, I completely fell in love with the program,” she said.

The school will serve up to 40 students, aged 2.9 to 6 years, and has been received enthusiastically by area residents, Jain said. The first day of school is September 6, and spaces are still available. For further information, visit the My Montessori website at www.mymontessoriofworburn.com or call 781-333-4898.
