Andrea Apodaca-Olive

How did you discover Montessori? Through my husband who was passionate about becoming a Montessori teacher. I was so in awe at the wisdom of what Maria Montessori had discovered and developed, that I had to join in.

Why do you love being a Montessori teacher? I feel like I can truly support children in the full spectrum of their development.

What about WSM attracted you to the school? The way the school was intentionally designed according to Montessori principles, particularly the immediate access to the outdoor environment from every classroom! The school’s blueprint and overall adherence to Montessori principles in how the programs were run. A warm, welcoming, and supportive work environment
