About Us
Our All-Star Staff
We know that what makes a successful school and happy, well-adjusted children are happy teachers who enjoy coming to school each day to educate and care for your children.
Selecting caring and qualified staff is important to us. We carefully interview each potential teacher, check their references and conduct a background study. All of our staff are experienced with children and genuinely love to work with them. We work together as a team, and all of our staff are “cross-trained” to be knowledgeable and comfortable with all age groups. Because our goal is to maintain a warm, home-like environment, the children have the opportunity to get to know all of the teachers and relationships are cultivated and nurtured throughout the child’s attendance at All Stars Montessori. Our staff is versatile and flexible and always ready to adjust with us as we grow and hire new staff.
As always, our teachers meet, and in most cases, exceed the State of Minnesota’s requirements for staffing.
