Our Past Staff
Montessori
teachers are trained to recognise when a child is passing through a sensitive
stage - when they are particularly interested in mastering a new skill. If these
skills are taught at the right time, the child will soak up the information
like a sponge and learning is a real joy. If this time is missed, learning
becomes much more of a chore. It is the teacher’s intuitive sensitivity to
the children, combined with their knowledge of the Montessori equipment which enables them to fulfill the child’s needs.
Portraits of our Staff - by the children
At Maidford, the staff were trained in the theory and practice of Montessori teaching, either by a professional body or in-house training. The Diploma is one of the highest nursery qualifications. Staff continued to attend training sessions, keeping up-to-date with current practices and ideas. All of our teachers were chosen for their sensitive and caring natures and their all-important sense of humour.
