Battery Park Montessori is a place where children and adults are known, respected, and supported. Educators work closely across languages and classrooms, sharing observations, reflecting on their practice, and helping one another respond to the children in their care. Our culture is:

• Child-centered: We observe each child closely, respect their individual pace, and support their growing independence.
• Collaborative: Teachers work together to create a consistent classroom experience across English, Mandarin, and Spanish.
• Reflective: We welcome thoughtful feedback, continued learning, and new ideas that strengthen our work with children.
• Purposeful: Classroom decisions are grounded in child development, Montessori principles, and the needs of the children in front of us.

Educators at Battery Park Montessori are supported as they deepen their practice and take on new responsibilities. Professional learning opportunities include:

-Sponsored Montessori training through AMI, AMS, or MACTE programs
-Ongoing professional-development workshops
-Mentorship, classroom coaching, and observation
-Opportunities to collaborate with educators at Battery Park Montessori and across our affiliated schools
-Opportunities to grow into leadership roles

Certified Montessori guides and educators who are beginning their Montessori training can both find meaningful opportunities to learn and contribute here.
