Seaside Montessori Staff


Seaside Montessori recognizes the importance of the influence staff have on your child.  In consideration of this we exercise the appropriate background and reference reviews on all teaching candidates at the school.  A Montessori qualified lead teacher will lead the daily classroom activities.  Assistant teachers will maintain at a minimum a Teacher level qualification with the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).
