[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey mamas and dads- just a big giant heads up.

Always, always, always ask where your child's teacher has gotten their credentials from. A few area schools have teachers with zero experience or certification, or an NAMC certificate- definitely the fast food of Montessori credentials. This is a big deal!

-Your loving OP.[/quote]

OP. May I respectfully disagree? I am a certified Montessori teacher. I agree with you that a Montessori teacher should have a Montessori certification. I also believe that there are some Montessori teachers who obtained their degree from a top-notch Montessori training program, and they are still crappy at what they do. Likewise, I believe there are also Montessori teachers who obtained "fast food" credentials, and are fabulous teachers. To me, a teacher is SO much more than her training. The PERSONALITY (social skills, patience, kindness, etc.) to me is key, in addition to the pedigree of the training/certification. In other words, if you judge a Montessori teacher simple (or mostly) by the "level" of their certification, you may just miss out on a talented teacher. [/quote]
