I was born and raised on a dairy farm in South Africa , I speak English and Afrikaans fluently . Our family moved to the United States 22 years ago and have lived in Florida and Texas. I married my high school sweetheart and we have two wonderful children.

I have been in early childhood education since 2005 , both in the classroom and as a curriculum specialist.  I am new to the Montessori program and I am looking forward to embracing this wonderful approach to education.
