St Vincent DePaul food bank, Seattle
My journey to education started with my father, who was a teacher for most of his life. I took a job assisting at a Montessori school in Seattle during college. Eventually, I chose to pursue education as a career. I obtained a BA from the UW in History (teaching major), then received a Masters in Teaching from Seattle University. I have been teaching full time since 1995 when helped found The Village Schoolhouse Montessori. I left Early-childhood education for five years as a 5th/6th grade Catholic school teacher along the way. When I returned, it was to begin the Academy program. The Academy offers an emphasis on social and emotional well-being typical of the Montessori classroom, with a more traditional curriculum approach.

The Village Schoolhouse Academy is a small, radically inclusive school for families trying to raise kind, wise, competent children. Our multi-age class is a rich environment which nourishes each child's inner curiosity, and need for connection. In a home-like setting, we follow a regular school year's course. A master teacher, educational assistants, parent volunteers, and specialists fill out the weekly schedule. Contact us to discuss a typical day or schedule a tour.
