Authentic Montessori is built by people. We seek educators committed to Dr. Maria Montessori’s method, the protected work cycle, and the children we serve.
Cedar Park Montessori has been AMI-Recognized since 1987 and serves children from 18 months through 6th grade. We are an intentionally small school where every child is known by name and every adult is part of a tight professional community. If you are a Montessori-certified guide or an aspiring Montessorian who wants to work in an environment that takes authenticity seriously, we would love to hear from you.
