About Our Staff
At Fountainhead Montessori we have high expectations of our staff. Ninety percent of our caring and excellent head teachers have over 10 years of Montessori classroom experience. They are loving, creative, respectful, supportive educators who know the potential and needs of the age groups they work with. Seventy-five percent have a bachelor's degree or higher, and many hold advanced degrees. Click here for more information about our head teachers.
Most of our assistant teachers have gone above and beyond the minimum educational requirements for their position. Many hold degrees, Montessori certifications, assistant teacher credentials, or have long-standing careers in early childhood education.
For other Fountainhead staff without a credential, we pay for them to pursue their fully accredited Montessori teaching credential through our own accredited teacher training program (Fountainhead Montessori Adult Education) and the California State University system. This ensures that we maintain a highly qualified staff.
Staff and Campus Support
Fountainhead has more than just committed teachers; we also have committed administrative personnel. Our administrative office is open every day from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. We encourage both staff and families to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Overview of Staff
