    Montessori teachers closely monitor their students progress, keeping the level of challenge high. A teacher will typically work with a child for two or three years, allowing the teachers to get to know their students strengths and interests. Our teachers are then able to use the this knowledge to enrich the curriculum and provide alternate avenues for accomplishment and success.
