A comprehensive, customizable 124-page staff handbook designed specifically for Montessori school environments. This toolkit supports leaders in building clear, equitable, and values-aligned policies while honoring Montessori culture, adult dignity, and the prepared adult environment.
Instead of starting from scratch — or retrofitting a generic HR handbook — this template gives you a thoughtfully structured foundation that blends legal awareness, Montessori identity, professional expectations, and community alignment.
Whether you’re updating an outdated handbook, preparing for accreditation or expansion, or building clarity across your adult community, this resource is designed to support real implementation — not paperwork for its own sake.
This resource is provided as an editable .docx file so you can adapt it to your school’s context.
To customize your handbook:
Download the .docx file after purchase
Open it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs
Select Save As / Make a Copy before editing
Replace all bracketed fields (for example: [School Name], [Role Title], [State Policy Reference]) with your school’s information
Review all marked customization and legal-review sections before implementation
The template includes a light footer identifying it as an editable Montessori Makers Toolbox resource. Schools may remove or replace this footer in their final version.
To edit or remove the footer:
In Word: Go to Insert → Header & Footer → Edit Footer, then update or delete the text
In Google Docs: Go to Insert → Headers & Footers → Footer, then update or delete the content
Once your handbook is fully customized, you may add your school’s logo and footer text in its place.
We recommend keeping:
one original copy of the template, and
one working copy for your customized version
…so you can update the handbook easily in future years.
