At MCC, we are proud of the exceptional quality and dedication of our teaching team. Our faculty, consisting of Montessori-certified teachers and caring assistants, embodies our commitment to delivering truly authentic year-round Montessori in a child care setting. The Montessori Children’s Center was the first Montessori program in the United States to offer full-time, year-round child care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We are a supportive community that applauds the individual and diverse gifts of children and adults. Our classrooms are safe and nurturing environments where children are allowed to explore and discover their unique place in the world. Our Montessori teaching enables us to strive to understand the individual needs of each child in our care, including their physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs, while we create an interdependent community to help propel a strong sense of connection and support development. MCC has been a model center since 1991, and we continue to advocate for Montessori and childcare.
