As the Primary Teacher & Educational Montessori Director of Global Montessori Academy, I follow Maria Montessori's approach to educating children on independence and respect for one's psychological, physical, and social development
I oversee the implementation, evaluation, and development of each classroom curriculum, ensuring that all teachers are practicing the mission, vision, and strategic goals of our school
During my experience at Global Montessori, I have developed my own approaches of incorporating music and fine art into the environment, including lessons that truly compliment the Montessori method
My passionate drive for encouraging children to 'use their words' has led me into the development of expressive material for ages 2 through 6
My lessons offer enjoyable exercises that help improve a child's vocabulary in order to communicate effectively with others
While offering children opportunities to appreciate their natural environment and to grasp their role in the universe, the Montessori Method teaches children to develop consciousness of their place on earth
At Global Montessori School, we provide a nurturing and welcoming environment for all of our age groups in a beautiful space where children learn to take pride in being unique, independent, and mindful individuals
