Before you enroll

Choosing a Montessori school in Georgia

  1. 1

    Ask about credentials

    Ask whether lead teachers hold a Montessori credential, such as AMI or AMS training, and from which training center.

  2. 2

    Watch a work period

    A Montessori room has a long, quiet work period with children choosing materials. Ask to observe one.

  3. 3

    Check the license

    Listings show the state license and, where the state publishes it, the inspection record. Where no license record is matched yet, the listing says so.

  4. 4

    Ask about cost and hours

    Many Montessori programs run half days. Ask about full-day and extended-day options and fees.
