Meet the Woodland Montessori Team
Our staff here at Woodland Montessori School are dedicated childcare providers, committed to providing quality Montessori education. We work closely together to ensure that each child thrives socially, academically and emotionally, with the goal of igniting a life-long love of learning within each child who walks through our doors.
"Whoever touches the life of a child touches the most sensitive part of a whole, which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future."

Staff Qualificiations, Teacher-to-Child Ratio & Health & Safety
Staff Qualifications
All teachers have state-required units in Early Childhood Education, CPR and First Aid Training, Mandated Reporter Training, and Criminal Background Checked. Most hold higher education degrees and Montessori credentials through Montessori accredited training programs or are currently in training to ensure we maintain highly qualified staff.
Teacher to Child Ratio
Woodland Montessori School follows the State of Montana requirements for the Teacher to Child ratios in each of our classrooms. Every Classroom consists of one Montessori Certified Teacher with one to two qualified teacher assistants.
Health and Safety Precautions
Our staff and children’s safety is our highest priority. Policies and guidelines are in place to provide a safe and healthy environment for all visitors, including: touchless attendance system, daily sanitizing and janitorial in a safe, enclosed campus with external security cameras, access code entry, and an emergency disaster plan.
