About Our School

We've embraced the Montessori understanding that children learn best through hands-on exploration and self-directed activity. Our prepared environment provides rich opportunities for discovery in mathematics, language, science, and practical life, while our guides support each child's unique developmental journey. Through uninterrupted work time and mixed-age collaboration, students build concentration, independence, and social skills alongside academic competence. This holistic approach creates confident, capable learners who love learning.


Educational Philosophy: We believe students are capable of self-regulation and making good choices with support.

I came to teaching after working in software development, bringing both technical expertise and a passion for making learning engaging. I love helping students see connections between coding and creativity. Outside work, I enjoy rock climbing, board game design, and mentoring young coders.
