““We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected to each other to form one whole unity.” - Maria Montessori

How did you discover Montessori? I first discovered Montessori while studying child development at Appalachian State.

Why do you love being a Montessori teacher? My favorite things about being a Montessori assistant are: watching the children’s development from the beginning of the year to the end, being able to contribute to a community, and being in an environment which encourages my own further learning.

What about WSM attracted you to the school? After several years working with children in child care settings, I was looking for some place different that better aligned with my values and understanding of the child. WSM was the place!
