PMA welcomes all members who value and support Montessori education in the state of Pennsylvania. Our members include trained Montessori teachers, interns, assistant teachers, specialists, school administrators, support staff, parents and community members. PMA provides a place for members to share ideas, compare practices and philosophy, and in the process, to enliven and enrich Montessori schools throughout the state. By establishing a broad communication network in Pennsylvania, PMA can also represent the voice of Montessori to the public and to governmental organizations. Members may be actively engaged in PMA activities or may choose to express support through a commitment to membership. We encourage all levels of participation.
