Our Staff

Our teachers believe in the possibilities of human potential.

Each child deserves respect and dignity, no matter their age or ability. As a school, our task is to help each student discover and develop their unique talents. We work to meet each student where they are and support them in learning and growing as individuals!

Our team members are facilitators of learning.

They closely observe their students to determine which activities, lessons, and materials to introduce at the right time. We believe in using a whole child approach, gently encouraging each child to reach their full potential in all areas of life. Physical, emotional, social, aesthetic, spiritual, and cognitive needs are all equally important in our Montessori classrooms.

What Parents Are Saying

“

Within a few weeks of attending Avon Montessori, we noticed a great improvement in my son’s self confidence, attention, and focus on tasks. He is more motivated to learn. He speaks with admiration and respect for his teacher, who has greatly influenced [him].”

Mom of Bobby and Maddy

“

When Makayla first started at AMA, she was a typical only child – a little bit selfish and had a hard time relating to kids her age. She’s always been bright but AMA helped her to really grow as a person. It’s made her the best big sister.”

Kate

Mom of Makayla

“

[Our son] absolutely loves school. He talks about his teachers and his friends at home. The teachers are patient when they work with him and do a great job communicating any updates with us. We feel so lucky to have found AMA and to be a part of it.”
