ASK THESE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS... ...When looking for the perfect Montessori school for your child. Are the teachers Montessori certified? Is the student-teacher ratio less than 10-1? Is the school a member of the American Montessori Society? Will my child learn to read, add/subtract? Can I drop-in anytime to observe my child at school? Does the school provide a loving, fun, structured environment? If you can answer YES to all of these questions... you have found the perfect school for your child!
