Claudia Bautista discovered The Prepared Montessorian and immediately wanted to begin her Montessori training. It took her 1 year and 2 months to complete, and she was able to find work 2 WEEKS later.

“Teaching in a Montessori environment offers opportunities to connect with the children, help them reach their potential, and guide them toward meaningful growth. The most important attribute of a Montessori educator is the love and respect we hold for each child's total being. It can be an incredibly rewarding career. ”

— Claudia Bautista, Children's House Lead Guide
