At Apple Montessori, we take our teachers’ continuing education very seriously. We are proud to provide our teachers with opportunities to be the very best role models and teachers they can be, strengthen important skills and learn the latest techniques.

By about age six children enter into what Maria Montessori called the second plane of development. The child becomes less dependent on imitation and much more concerned with the how and why questions. Social interactions with peers become more important, discovery of, and pride in, one’s personal heritage and family customs becomes fascinating, and knowledge is no longer accepted at face value. These children are hungry for intellectual challenges, open-ended questions, and lots of facts.
