The first thing the children see as they enter Tobin public Montessori school in Cambridge, MA. (So nice to see a community that invests in the power of public Montessori.)

Is it an art museum? Nope it’s Cambridge, MA’s public Montessori: The Tobin School (prek-5th). They have a stunning new building. Just as impressive, their outcomes for children (including test scores). Long past time to approve the Montessori curriculum for New Jersey kids?

We were incredibly disappointed by Governor Murphy’s decision to “pocket-veto” the Montessori teacher certification route bill after it was approved unanimously by the NJ legislature. We are working to learn more, and it’s our full intention to support efforts to work with his office on their concerns in hopes it can be reintroduced this session.

And we know that regardless, we have already succeeded in elevating Montessori teachers in the state. Montessori teachers were on the minds of 120 legislators who all cast their votes in the affirmative over the past few months!

Please go to our website and sign up to join our efforts! Even a small amount of people can make a big difference when it comes to state level policy work, and we’ve rarely seen people more passionate than those whose lives have been touched by a Montessori teacher.

Bill A4689 passed the Assembly unanimously this afternoon! The bill gives Montessori teachers a path to a NJ state teaching license that could help address the teacher shortage and pave the way for public Montessori. We're so excited it has now passed both Chambers unanimously and is off to Governor Murphy's desk!
