Teacher-to-Student Ratio
At Milpitas Montessori School, we take pride in our small teacher-to-student ratio. This allows our teachers to give more individualized attention to students.

About Our Teachers
The Milpitas Montessori teaching staff consists of carefully selected, qualified teachers. Our head teachers are Montessori trained and certified. Our assistant teachers hold a minimum of 6 Early Childhood Education (ECE) units, but many of our teaching staff holds advanced graduate degrees. All of our teachers are certified in Infant/Child CPR and First Aid. Low teacher turnover is important to ensuring consistent, stable care for children, and our school has demonstrated that year after year.
