Meet Toddler Teacher Remzije Shala

November 30, 2020
By Julie Strickland

What led you to become a Montessori Teacher, and how long have you been at Springmont? I fell in love with the Montessori approach when I became a mother and started searching for the best way of educating my daughter. This approach to education opened my mind and helped me understand how important it is to foster lifelong learning. The calm, peaceful nature of the prepared Montessori environment allows children to grow and learn at their own paces and promotes acceptance, kindness, and respect for all. Becoming a Montessori Teacher was the best decision I ever made. This is my fourth year as part of the Springmont family. 

Tell us one way you help new children feel welcomed into the community of learners? My goals are to nourish and assist children, to serve and observe, and to encourage and guide in the best way possible. Children naturally feel welcome in our prepared environment because it supports their physical and psychological needs. Each day I try to support the children's own learning and happiness and to be an instrument of inspiration. 

What do you love best about Springmont? Springmont is a diverse community that promotes a safe and supportive environment for everyone. It's such a great family of which to be part; I feel Springmont is my home away from home!
