Assistant Guide- Mornings

I am passionate about supporting young children with warmth, respect, and genuine curiosity. I believe that nurturing a child's emotional well-being and developing sense of self lays the foundation for lifelong relationships with themselves and others. I strive to be a calm, responsive presence who supports children while honoring their growing independence.

I especially appreciate Montessori's thoughtful approach to practical life, grace and courtesy, and food preparation. Preparing and sharing food gives children meaningful opportunities to build independence, connect with others, and experience their own capabilities.

I am a mother of three children, ages 10, 8, and 11 months. Montessori has been part of our family's life for the past 15 years, both at home and through my older children's Montessori experiences beginning in infancy. I am excited to continue that journey as part of the Moss + Heart community.
