Cornerstone Montessori School Teachers

Our teachers are trained to observe and identify each child’s unique learning capabilities. Because they form relationships with each child based on the child's interests and needs, the child is able to develop confidence and interest in learning.  All of the teachers are experienced, professional Montessori certified teachers.
