About
Montessori

Teachers
Trained and certified teachers are crucial for implementing the Montessori philosophy and curriculum as intended by Maria Montessori and the American Montessori Society (AMS). We are committed to maintaining the high standards set by Maria Montessori and AMS, which is why we hire only Montessori certified lead teachers at every age level. Our focus is not only on having Montessori materials in the classrooms, but to ensure our teachers know the purpose of each work and how to lead students in every exercise.
Our Teacher Assistants are selected based on their experience and dedication to the Montessori philosophy. We encourage our staff members to be lifelong learners through continuous professional development, so that they can provide the best possible guidance and care for students. Additionally, we aim to be the examples through grace and courtesy and our care of the Earth.
"The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn." - Maria Montessori
