Children's Montessori School, Lompoc

As Dr. Montessori's principles and materials were accepted she felt the need for a training and information center. Hence, in 1929, Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) was formed, in the Netherlands, as a sponsoring organization for training programs that now award diplomas from sites around the world.

CMS is certified by AMI and all its teachers hold a diploma from an AMI teacher training center. As a part of the certification process, the school must have a consultation with an AMI consultant every three years. The consultation consists of observations of the teachers, review of the classroom materials and the enrichment of the environment, the degree of maintenance of Montessori principles, the administration of the school and the relationship with the parents.
