New Program Seeking Space

February 12, 2012

LogofinalWe are thrilled to be bringing our new program to the Pacific Northwest for the 2012 schoolyear, but we are in need of a space! We seek to serve in the range of 30 preschool aged students, no more than 42, and want to find the ideal location to house this program.While we find a challenge thrilling we do not seek to navigate conditional use permits, TIFs or the like and would like a space with the same previous use (commercial, E use, etc..).

Please contact us if you know of childcare centers that are relocating, vacancies of spaces or other leads. And we will be back with information on how to enroll your gifted, bright and creative child!

Will and Trust Planning for the Busy Portland Parent

January 31, 2012

Thanks to all the parents who attended my most recent lecture on Will and Trust Planning for the Busy Parent.  One of the moms who came shared with me the last person SHE learned about who drafted a Will.  Not a personal acquaintance to be sure.  But very fun non the less.  Thanks Emily for sharing these links with me and now Urban Mamas.

YOUR VERY OWN CERTIFIED MONTESSORI PRESCHOOL TEACHER

January 17, 2012

Hello!

Are you a parent interested in having your own experienced Montessori teacher for your child? I am an experienced Montessori teacher trained at The Montessori Institute of Minnesota, with a Masters degree in Education and Child Development from Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. Before this I was most recently a teacher at a local Montessori elementary school, and prior to that taught at the Montessori Children's Community in the Dominican Republic. I also have over four years experience as a nanny from birth to age four, and have over ten years experience working with children between the ages of birth to age 12. I have reliable transportation and am willing to work throughout the Portland metro area.

What I do goes beyond child care. I create and teach age-appropriate Montessori activities (if desired by parents) and enjoy many teachable moments as they arise. My method is more akin to in-home preschool/ elementary school with a large dose of silliness and fun. I love assisting children in their own discoveries and activities, such as art, cooking, gardening/plant care, flower arranging, the Spanish language, and much much more depending on the needs and interests of each unique child. 

Should you be interested, I am also offering an additional service wherein I can create an age-appropriate Montessori environment in your home, which maximizes your child's independence and fosters opportunities for learning. This can be accomplished on almost any budget. 

I am infant/child CPR and first-aid certified and bilingual (Spanish), and am currently seeking full time work. I am also willing to do some evening/weekend work.

I look forward to meeting and working with you and your children!
