What is your experience and training and how did you come to our school?
I have a B.A. in environmental science and ecology and a Master’s degree in education. I earned my Montessori primary diploma from Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) in 2012. I came to High Desert looking for an individualized and whole child approach to education for my two daughters. I have been a part of the High Desert Montessori community for over 10 years now.
Why do you believe in our public charter Montessori school?
I love working with children; each day is different and new. I enjoy seeing each child reach his or her true potential through the Montessori curriculum in a public charter school setting. I believe all children should have access to a Montessori education regardless of their background.

What is your experience and training and how did you come to our school?
I was born in Guatemala and moved to the United States at the age of 12. Reno has always been my home away from home.
I knew early in life I wanted to work with children, and when I started seeking childcare for my eldest daughter, I fell in love with Maria Montessori’s work.
I have been a primary teacher in the Beowawe classroom for the last 12 years and before that I was an assistant for three years. I am committed to this method/philosophy because of the profound respect Dr. Montessori had for children and their developmental stages. I graduated from the Montessori Institute of San Diego in 2009 with an AMI diploma (ages 2-6).
In addition to teaching, I find it rewarding to serve as an interpreter and translator for our Hispanic families. I provide parent education nights and offer my expertise as an advocate for their needs and rights.
Why do you believe in our public charter Montessori school?
Our school is able to successfully serve approximately 425 students and their families. We believe that all children should have access to a Montessori education regardless of their socioeconomic, racial or cultural background. I feel grateful to be part of the HDMS community.
What is your experience and training and how did you come to our school?
I graduated in 2014 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I started working at HDMS in the Fall of 2014. My son, Elliott, had been attending HDMS since 2013. Montessori was a teaching style I had learned about while going to school for my degree. I loved that I could work at the same school as my son.
Why do you believe in our public charter Montessori school?
I believe in HDMS because it is very accepting of all families. I believe in HDMS because I have seen how this learning style can greatly affect children to be independent, life long learners.
What is your experience and training and how did you come to our school?
I received a Bachelors in Elementary Education. I came to High Desert Montessori because when I was doing my observations for my 203 education class. I was really happy because just by observing that classroom I saw how wonderful the school is.
Why do you believe in our public charter Montessori school?
I believe in our public charter Montessori school because I see the happiness in the children’s face. I’m not in a classroom but the few times that I have been put in one even if it’s for an hour I see how engaged the students are to learn. The learning methods that are used are very different than with public education and coming from one, if I would have had the chance to ask my parents if they could put me in a Montessori school, I would have. I also saw how my younger sister was being taught in elementary and she struggled a lot to understand things, especially with Math. I had the opportunity to see a teaching method used for math, and it made it seem so simple. I like how the children have choices on what work they would like to do and how hands on the teaching methods are.

I love working in education and have worked at a number of schools here in Reno and the Bay area. I absolutely love HDMS.

After raising 3 boys and being a part of my 7 grandchildren’s education I see how important quality education and school choice is. The way a Montessori classroom runs is so unique and beautiful.
What is your experience and training and how did you come to our school?
My experience and training with kiddos began with my first job in high school with the City of Sparks. This lead me to pursue to a Bachelor Degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I’ve worked with children between the ages of birth to 17 in many capacities. My favorite being my job onboard different cruise lines!
I also ran an infant/toddler home daycare.

After becoming a parent I realized even more so how important education is and wanted the best all around place for my kiddo to attend. We enjoy the philosophy and intent behind Montessori and feel lucky to be a part of the HDMS community.

I have past experience as a TA. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages. I have family members who work here, and suggested the idea to work part time while I pursue my degree.
Why do you believe in our public charter Montessori school?
I believe in this charter school because I have seen it at work. I have seen young children, 3 years old, do things that I hadn’t imagined were possible. I think this school encourages growth personal and academic, gives new ways to imagine concepts and challenges children to think outside the box.
