What do you wish people knew about Montessori or your classroom? The Montessori method of teaching inspires confidence and nurtures the child's innate desire for learning, discovery, and social interaction skills. It provides an environment where teachers are guides who encourage, engage and value the individual child. Children learn how to learn, and this prepares each child for future academic and social excellence.

What one thing distinguishes your teaching style? Guiding the little ones in a manner that promotes growth in all areas of development has always been my calling. Being the eldest of six siblings taught me a lot of important lessons, such as how to be nurturing, compassionate and patient, early in life. Hence, I feel my understanding and experience dealing with children goes way back, starting almost in my own childhood. This lifelong experience with children helps me establish trust early on and enables me to create a safe haven for the toddlers. 

What is a special interest you bring into the classroom? I have a special fondness for caring for and nurturing indoor plants which is quite visible in my class environment. This helps children learn how to consider the needs of another living thing and the consequences if you don't. Growing something also teaches children the concept of delayed gratification. When you plant a seed or take care of a plant, you have to take care of it over a long period of time before you reap the fruits of your labor!
