"Hello, my name is Kelly and when I was just a few years old, I was a student in Elizabeth's classroom. It was there that I learned many important practical life skills and even began to read and write. After 14 years of Montessori education, I attended a public high school and am now a nursing student at UVM (Go Cats)! I can attest that Elizabeth's guidance not only prepared me for advanced education but is also part of the foundation of who I am today." - Kelly McGee

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Elizabeth as two of our daughters' very first teacher! The classroom community she created was loving, calm, inclusive, and fun. Our children loved school from day one. Now, almost 10 years after we first joined Elizabeth's class, are still kind and creative and love learning. We are so grateful for such a wonderful Montessori experience from the start!" - Maya Duff

“Working alongside Elizabeth has been such a gift. Her dedication and tireless hard work have truly set children up for lifelong success. I've always been in awe of how she thrives in those quiet moments of observation, building deep connections with each child and supporting their development every step of the way. Beyond the classroom, the way she connects with and supports families has made such a lasting impact. I thank her for the hours she spent preparing our environment with such care and mindfulness. She made our workspace the most beautiful place, and I'm so grateful for our time together." - Christina Cortina, former assistant

“It was a true pleasure and privilege to be part of Elizabeth's Children's House community for a total of six years with my two daughters. She is an exceptionally skilled AMI-trained Montessori guide. She strikes a remarkable balance between meeting the high standards of an AMI-recognized school and remaining deeply attuned to the individual social and emotional needs of each child. Beyond the classroom, Elizabeth also provides thoughtful, consistent support to parents, helping to bridge the Montessori environment at school with the one at home -- ensuring that each child is able to thrive fully. I wholeheartedly recommend Bluebird Montessori of Vermont to any family seeking authentic and compassionate Montessori education." - Sveta and Johann Pais
