How it all started:
The Montessori Teachers Collective was created by Don Jennings, a Montessori elementary teacher from Massachusetts. The first version, then called the Montessori Teachers Collaborative, was uploaded to AOL on December 8, 1996. A name change accompanied a new design in March 1997, and the Montessori Teachers Collective started to grow. Other projects at the time included the Montessori Parents Forum and the Montessori Schools Online Webring, but September 1999 saw a move to new server space and the acquisition of a domain name -- all three sites (MTC, MPF, MSO) were integrated at www.moteaco.com.

Volunteers: Working behind the scenes.
A small but dedicated group of volunteers help to support this site, from translators and quote collectors to typists and contributors. Without their effort there would be no MTC. Herein lies an official 'thank you', in lieu of riches and fame.
