The main criterion for any staff member at Community Montessori is to have a true love and respect for every child/teen. We value, welcome and celebrate a diverse population. We do not discriminate based on race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, gender, family status or disability. The school treats all employees and applicants for employment without unlawful discrimination as to race, creed, color, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation in all employment decisions.
Although State Licensure and/or Montessori Certification is not required, a commitment in obtaining State Licensure and cultivating a true understanding of Maria Montessori, the Montessori scope and sequence of materials, and the Community Montessori belief system is essential.
As a staff, we have worked together to create commitments of what behaviors/actions should be consistent by age level ( Early Education (3-6 year olds) adult commitments, Elementary(6-12 year olds) adult commitments), and Teens (12-18 year old) adult commitments. We have also created our Differentiated Staffing Schedule to help communicate how a staff member is compensated and our Calendar to communicate contract days. Our Employee Handbook can be viewed for further information, or you can email Barbara Burke Fondren with any questions.
