Montessori Works Delaware

Our work focuses in four areas:

- Providing comprehensive school start-up support to districts and charters to support the expansion of Montessori education options in the public sector;

- Strengthening the Montessori teacher pipeline in Delaware through creating a Montessori training program focused on dual-certification requirements for Montessori teachers and administrators in public schools;

- Increasing Montessori awarenesses by sponsoring seminars and other opportunities for communities to explore how children learn through Montessori;

- Working with legislators, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and community members to advocate for pro-Montessori public policies.
