​I can not imagine a job I would enjoy more than being a teacher. Seeing the joy on a child's face when he or she finally "gets it" is one of the most rewarding things I can imagine.  I have been teaching since 2010.  I have my B.S. in Psychology from Purdue University and my M.Ed. from National Louis University.  I have training in Montessori for ages 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12.  I believe strongly in the Montessori method and in the pairing of this with Judaism to create amazing opportunities for learning for our children. I am excited and awed at the opportunity to share my passions and beliefs with our community and look forward to many many years of doing so.

     Ever since I began teaching in 2009, I have had a dream to open a Jewish Montessori preschool. I am passionate about education, and love how beautifully Judaism and the Montessori Method work hand in hand to provide children with a rich educational experience. I love seeing all different types of children thrive in this nurturing environment, and develop their unique talents and abilities. I have an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education, and an International Montessori Teaching Diploma for ages 3-6. I am grateful every day for this amazing opportunity of helping children reach their potential.
