I experienced the Montessori coursework. The course was rigorous and thorough. I was well prepared to be a high quality teacher with an understanding of child development and appropriate practices, sensitivity to the family and culture within which the children lives, and the regulatory requirements under which I work.

Dear
The School supports the acceptance of coursework from MACTE accredited Montessori Teacher Training Programs toward the requirements of the Child Development Permits.
The Montessori teachers we employee are well prepared to be exceptionally qualified teachers with an understanding of child development and appropriate practices, sensitivity to the family and culture within which the children lives, and the regulatory requirements under which I work.
We could not be more pleased with our teachers. Their Montessori educational achievements need to be accepted by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
