Accreditation "Montessori" has no trademark protection, so accreditation from a real body is the closest thing to a quality check.Source: Accrediting body's own directory
This school hasn't published tuition — contact them directly, or help other families by sharing what you know.
AMS Accredited
American Montessori Society (AMS) Accredited is the Society's top standing — the school has passed a multi-year self-study and on-site peer review covering curriculum, teacher training, and facilities against AMS's full standards.
Verify directly at amshq.org/schools using the school's name and city.
Accreditation is not the same as an operating licence. A provincial/state child care licence or private school registration only confirms a school is legally allowed to operate — it says nothing about whether the teaching method is Montessori.
Teacher credentials matter too. Ask how many lead teachers hold AMI, AMS, or MACTE-accredited teacher training — a strong signal independent of the school's own accreditation status.
