Hello and welcome!

I worked at a Montessori school in Austin, Texas for over 20 years and when I first stepped into a Montessori environment to observe, I knew I was witnessing something extraordinary. Children were peacefully working both independently and together in small groups. Children were kind, courteous, calm, happy and focused in their activities. They helped one another and interacted with grace and respect. The materials honored the child’s need for self-discovery and autonomy. Children were reading as early as 4 years old and were doing complex mathematical problems at 5 and 6. Since this experience, I have gone on to be a certified Montessori teacher through AMI (Association of Montessori Internationale), received a Master of Education and received my Master of Education from Loyola University Maryland. I also am a CALP (Certified Academic Language Practitioner) through ALTA (Academic Language Therapy Association). I have over 20 years of experience working with young children ages 2.5 – 6 years of age and spent 10 years guiding my own Montessori “Children’s House” environment at a non-profit school in Austin, Texas.

My family and I moved here in the summer of 2023 to live closer to my mom and we love calling Vermont home. Now that we have begun settling in, it’s time to come back to one of my many passions and that is providing an enriching Montessori environment for young children.

When I’m not thinking about lessons, interests and inspiration in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two teenagers, jogging, and cooking, singing and spending time with friends and our newest family member, our sweet dog, Clover.

I hope you to meet you at an upcoming open house.
