Brad Hatton shared once, “Montessori teachers don’t find Montessori, Montessori finds them.” I feel this quote speaks volumes to the kind of teachers Tides beholds…those who are filled with a great love.

One day while observing in Ms. Nancy’s classroom a child was visiting from a conventional school with no prior Montessori experience. On that day I had a very special thought explode in my mind about Ms. Nancy. “There is nothing she couldn’t take on and that I am convinced of.” I now understand fully there is not a child Montessori Tides couldn’t teach because they are teaching the child. How? It’s the freedom of the prepared Montessori environment with the prepared adult.
