The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.

I was born in England and moved to Plano, Texas in 1991, due to my husband's job. We have two children who were ages 4 and 2 at the time. 

In England I had been working in Hotel and Catering Administration and Local Government, but after the birth of my first child, I realized that I would much rather be working with children than in the field of business. I began to look for training opportunities and quite by chance came across Montessori. It just made so much sense and was what I had been doing with my children. I was able to complete the teacher training and received a diploma from St. Nicholas Center in London before relocating to the states. 

I taught for five years with Montessori Unlimited in Plano and then was invited to become the Director at Montessori New Beginnings. Five years later I moved to Redeemer Montessori School in Irving Texas, where I served as Director for ten years. In 2003 my husband and I moved to San Antonio to be with my daughter and son-in law who were expecting their first child.

I became Head of St. Paul’s Episcopal Montessori School in downtown San Antonio, a position I held for eight years. My granddaughters attended the school with me. 

When COVID hit, I took time out and did “Montessori at Home” with my grandchildren, which has been such a blessing. 

I have found my calling. Aside from God and my family, Montessori is my passion. I did not have the opportunity to attend a Montessori School as I grew up, but I made sure my children and grandchildren did. 

Ever since I discovered this wonderful method of education, I have wondered what it would be like to open up a school, but was never brave enough to try. Then three years ago, I was approached about opening up a school for this community in what was once a nonprofit corporate office building. God’s hand truly was in this, and it has been a joy to watch the transformation of the building into this beautiful little school. 

There are so many young families in this growing community, and I want to make sure your children have the opportunity to have a quality Montessori Education close by.

I am happy to take on this responsibility and open the doors to a brand new school here in San Antonio.
