Leann has been involved in the Montessori community since 1993.
She is recognized as an Internationally Certified Montessori Teacher, holds a B.A.

Education should be fun and enjoyable and develop the child's physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual growth and development.
Learning should be interesting, motivating and adjustable to the needs of each child.
The child's role is to attend school with the knowledge and understanding that he or she is safe and secure and will have every opportunity to learn in a challenging, rewarding, culturally accepting, and loving environment.
We have devoted our future to the education of children.
We will uphold this devotion by constantly educating ourselves and by being culturally aware, knowledgeable in the growth and development of the children, understanding of parent's/guardian's words and wishes, and forming a partnership in nurturing the whole child.
