About the store
I have taught at a private Montessori school for three years. I have taught preschool through fifth grades here. I ran the elementary program, which I have created many items of work for.
After I left the Montessori school, I homeschooled one of the students who was in my class. This is our 3rd year homeschooling together, and I have now started homeschooling my own 2 preschool-aged children.
