I hold a Master's in Montessori and have been working in Montessori on many levels both in New Zealand and in the United States for over twenty-four years. One of my greatest joys is working with children in the prepared environments and watching the lightbulbs go off when they grasped a concept for the first time. I know with the thousands of children and adults that I've worked with over the years, that our future will be in good hands with their many skills and gifts they will bring to the world.
