About

I am Montessori certifies directress since 2011. I worked as an assistant teacher for 9 years and as a lead teacher for one year. My passion in life is children and have always been known for my classroom projects and how the children are so proud of their work. The learning environment promotes self esteem and the feeling of “there’s no wrong way to create”.

Having the honor of being present for their self discovery, self exceptance and the encourament shown to their peers is one of my favorite parts.

    Very hands-on projects, and creative use of materials, especially found-objects, which I think is a powerful lesson for kids...you don’t need a brand-new set of paints to be creative, use what you see around you in the moment. Creativity can be spontaneous. Art can happen daily, big and small.

    Athena is one of the most nurturing human beings I have met. She has worked with my daughter for several years and has really fostered a love for creativity and art. She’s very patient with her and let’s her do the projects form start to finish instead of jumping in and taking the independence away. My daughter loves Athena and would spend every day doing art projects with her if she could. She also created all of her bday party decorations for her 5th bday. They were so cute and helped make the party special!

    Frequently asked questions

    A get together project that is aimed to explain the only 3 rules in my class.  A Montessori philosophy;

    Respect for self

    respect for enviroment

    repect for others

    everything falls under one of these principles.  

    I graduated a four year Montessori training program and I also attended a Montessori school from age 3-11.  The creativity comes natural which leads to LOTS of experimental projects and the children I’ve shared time with have taught me how to teach them, what they enjoy creating and how the environment should be prepared to promote expression through magnificent messes and self guided ability to restore their enviroment.

    Each project would be evaluated individually 

    ive work primarily with age groups 3-6 but have work with ages 6-9 successfully as well.  

    Choose someone with a free spirit, whom is encouraging and respectful to the children.  Someone who exibits firm, clear boundaries with a gentle nurturing essence.
