"Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world." - Maria Montessori

Do you ever wonder if your child's teacher has the experience and training to be effective in the classroom? At Milwaukee Montessori School, the Children's House teachers, classroom assistants, and specialist faculty have a combined teaching experience of 205 years! Montessori Directresses and many assistants have all been trained by accredited, rigorous Montessori training centers. This intense training in Montessori theory and pedagogy means that our teachers are well-equipped to create and maintain classroom environments that allow children to work at their own pace while consistently being challenged.

Teachers bring their interests and creativity to play as they create new materials, lessons, and unit studies based on everything from foreign lands, including France and Sri Lanka, to woodland or arctic animals. The solar system, volcanoes, and even timely themes such as construction vehicles have been presented to our three to six-year-old students, incorporating all aspects of the curriculum.


The Athletics, Art, Spanish, and Music teachers all have degrees and are actively engaged outside of teaching in their respective fields, informing their work with expertise discovered outside the classroom and shared with their students.

Equally impressive to our faculty's tenure is the robust and collegial environment where knowledge, wisdom, and experience are shared in a supportive way that ensures success not just in one classroom but for all Children's House students. Working together, our Children's House teachers and specialists follow Maria Montessori's words when she said, "Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world."
