At Butler Montessori, our teachers are Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) certified, which means they've undergone rigorous training to ensure they can best guide your child's natural development. This AMI recognition signifies our dedication to Dr. Montessori's methods, including mixed-age classrooms, high-quality materials, and a philosophy that fosters independence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Our programs are not only fully accredited by the State of Maryland and the Maryland State Department of Education, but we're also proud members of the Association of Independent Schools in Greater Washington (AISGW). Additionally, we're a Certified Maryland Green School, incorporating sustainability into our curriculum, and participate in the Maryland Association for Environmental & Outdoor Education (MAEOE) program, fostering a love for the environment in our students.

Montessori education empowers children to become self-directed learners through a meticulously prepared environment. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, this approach fosters a love of learning at the child's own pace. Specially designed materials and the guidance of trained teachers cultivate a deep understanding of core concepts while fostering independence, critical thinking, and a sense of community.
