Meet Our Staff

The teachers at MCHL are trained professionals who bring years of experience, as well as compassion, into the classroom every day. All of the lead teachers are Montessori certified. The entire staff is first aid and CPR certified and take classes annually to ensure they are kept abreast of current practices in the field of early childhood education.
