What We Believe
Teaching Here Looks Different
At Mount Dora Montessori, our teachers are trained guides — not lecturers. The work is precise, observant, and deeply rewarding. You will learn to see children differently, to resist the urge to intervene, and to trust in the child's natural drive to learn.
"Before such attention and concentration have been attained, the teacher must learn to control herself so that the child's spirit shall be free to expand and show its powers."
— Dr. Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
