MVM’s day to day operations are overseen by the Head of Operations. Parents can address any issues and needs with either the classroom teacher, Head of Education, or Head of Operations. MVM encourages families to ask questions about your child’s education. If you have a question or concern about your child or classroom please visit with the classroom teacher. Any other concerns you can visit with the Head of Education or Head of Operations.
Currently, Missouri Valley Montessori employs staff which includes the Head of Education, Head of Operations, Lead Teachers, Teacher Assistants, a lunch assistant/ afternoon classroom float, and after school staff. A fingerprint based criminal background check is obtained on each staff member hired. Our school will not hire an individual convicted of a felony or convicted of child abuse or neglect.
