Who am I?

After almost twenty years of being a Montessori guide through the American Montessori Society and interning with the RIE association, I have taken on the privilege of helping families implement the approach at home through organizational systems and spaces.

In addition to running the toddler program at a center for over ten years, I have spent the past five years independently operating a home-based Montessori program.

These years have proven we can implement the Montessori Method in our day-to-day routines with children in our care.

I have developed a keen awareness of the individual families needs for a successful independent environment. Along with easing the daily stresses a parent may feel by the overload of toys, clothing and trinkets that overwhelm their home.

With a gentle approach to the method, we can create a cohesive home tailored to your individual family's needs. I would love to connect with you to start this amazing journey.
