How did you discover Montessori?

I observed a Montessori school during my graduate program and was blown away. Soon after, I met my future partner whose mom is a Montessori educator, and my interest grew. I was attracted to the interdisciplinary lessons, the promotion of independence, and the belief that each human had the potential to contribute positively to the world.

Why do you love being a Montessori teacher?

I love watching the confidence of my students grow as they take risks in this safe and nurturing environment, and begin to realize their full potential as a human being.

What about WSM attracted you to the school?

The inviting outdoor environment, the beautiful facilities, and the fluidity between the two. I also love my colleagues, and the strong community of families that our school nurtures.
