Faculty & Staff
Norbeck Montessori Center employs approximately thirty-five full-time and part-time staff members. All of our Montessori teachers have Master's degrees in Montessori education and all of our assistants have college degrees. We are very proud to say that many of our staff members have been with us for over 15 years and several have been with us for over 30 years. Our staff members are carefully selected for their warm, friendly, and nurturing temperaments, not simply for their degrees and experiences. We know this is why so many of our staff come back home to their "Norbeck family" with their own children, grandchildren, and also to teach in our program. Norbeck is very much a family and we strive to incorporate your children and you into our family. Your child will have the same teachers for as long as they attend Norbeck. This helps strengthen the bond between your child and the adults he/she interacts with every day. It also enables us to follow their academic and social progress over the course of their education. Like a family, our educational environment is one of fun, happiness, joy, laughter, and most importantly, pride of learning.
Weekly staff meetings enable us to evaluate our program, address the individual needs of the children, and plan future activities. Newsletters will be sent home providing you with information on upcoming events and a review of classroom activities.
We incorporate yearly continued education training coursework for all our staff as well as CPR and First Aid certification/renewal.
All of our staff have passed criminal background investigations.
