You've decided Montessori education is right for you, but how do you find a true Montessori school in a sea of fake or "Montessori Inspired" preschools and how can you be sure it is the right Montessori school for your family? What do you need to ask and look for when you're visiting the Montessori school? What exactly is AMS and AMI accreditations, and why is it not all there is to finding a school? what credentials should teachers have? Is a private Montessori school vs a non-profit Montessori school an important factor?
Welcome back, everyone! Today I'm coming to you as not only a parent that implements Montessori at Home, but also someone who has been on the other side. If you're new, my mom directs a Montessori school, and that is how I came to know and love the Montessori method. Having been in the Montessori classroom, it was a lot simpler for me to approach the search for a Montessori preschool when the time came. In preparing this video, I also interviewed my mom, who is an AMS certified director of a Montessori school, which gives us a varied perspective, covering everything you need to know on how to choose a Montessori school for your family.
We will cover common advice and why you should take it with caution, how to find schools that are contenders in your search, questions to ask the schools you're interested in, and what to look for once you're touring the school. While the advice in this video is mainly geared at the search for a Montessori preschool, your search for a Montessori Infant/Toddler program, Elementary and beyond will be very similar. Get your notebooks ready! This one is filled with useful tips!
