How to choose a Montessori kindergarten?

How can parents distinguish a real Montessori kindergarten from a “fake” ❓

There are several signs:

Education of teachers – availability of appropriate education, confirmed by a Montessori Teacher Certificate.

The teacher must have knowledge of the theory of the method and practice (i.e. know presentations and be able to show them).
In a Montessori garden, classes should be divided into Montessori zones:
Practical life, Sensory, Mother tongue, Mathematics and Space (environment).

Montessori materials should be made from environmental material and
be on wooden shelves, at the height of the child, so that the child can independently pick them up and return them to their place after classes.
Materials must be freely available at all times.
Children in the older group can work on small mats, which they themselves unroll to work with the chosen material.
There may also be several small tables and chairs in the group.
The ability to work with materials in a free continuous work cycle for at least 2.5 – 3 hours. in a day.
The teacher is always nearby, but never interferes with the child’s work with Montessori materials.
Proper organization of a place to sleep. Children do not sleep in cribs. To do this, they use mattresses, which, before going to sleep, children independently unroll, make the bed and go to bed.
The teacher is always nearby and does not prevent the child from doing everything on his own, and helps if the child asks.
Availability of a dressing room. In a Montessori garden, it is important to teach self-care skills, including changing clothes independently. Each age group should have a wardrobe where children can undress themselves when coming from the street.

The teachers of our Montessori kindergarten-school have a diploma from the Ukrainian Montessori Center, and are also students of the Vienna Montessori Academy of the “6 – 12” program.
