MCS Staff

The teachers and staff are loving, supportive, and take pride in providing an authentic Montessori education. 

Our Staff

Teachers in Montessori schools often play the role of guides and observers. Depending on what they see, they might intervene to assist or step back and take note of a particular child’s ability to work through a problem. Proponents of Montessori education say allowing children to follow their curiosity and take control of their learning leads to more independence at an early age.
