Our Staff
A Liked-Minded Team of Trained Montessorians.
At Habitat, we are especially proud of our incredible team of educators and administrators. Beyond credentials and licensure, these guides are genuinely passionate not only about Montessori, but about the students and families at the school, taking a vested interest in every aspect of their lives and truly enjoying the community that is here. You can count on our staff to mindfully engage in open dialogue with other classroom guides as well as families for a holistic, comprehensive, and individualized approach to the education of every student.
