Currently we serve 200 children ages 6 weeks through the 5th grade. AMA, while licensed as a daycare, is much more. "Amarillo Montessori Academy's mission is to foster independent, confident, academically prepared, and socially responsible citizens, who will be lifelong learners and problem solvers." For more information please go to amarillomontessoriacademy.com to find more information about our school. The teacher's role according to Montessori methodology is to guide and observe rather than dictate, which enables the child to progress at an individual pace and rhythm. In this respect, our teachers are carefully selected based upon their educational philosophy as well as their skill set and qualifications. Our Montessori teachers are dedicated to developing lifelong learners. They are known for their warmth, commitment to their profession and loving spirit. They genuinely care about children, and have a sensitivity and knowledge to understand a child's individual developmental needs and learning styles. They take the time to help each child discover his or her own way of learning. We are very lucky to have wonderful team members at AMA!
