FAST FORWARD
Sounds like a Montessori dream come true?
In truth, it took nineteen years of dedication and perseverance, and was far from easy. Throughout the journey, I gained invaluable lessons - some of which I learned through difficult experiences and challenges.
Today, I am a successful (and humble) Montessori entrepreneur and I love to help other people realize their own Montessori dreams by using my knowledge and experience with starting and running Montessori non-profit organizations. In the past 10 years, I have raised over 2.3 million EUR in grants and other funding and have founded and run a Montessori school. (I am on the Board of that school today.) I purchased a farm for our school and we started our adolescent program. I run a flourishing Montessori business and lead an incredibly amazing and inspiring team of colleagues who share my vision.
I first came across Montessori when my youngest son was born. And I completely fell in love with it immediately. As a new mom on maternity leave, I had no pedagogical, business or fundraising training. I had no startup money. And there was nobody to give me advice. I was alone and clueless. However, amidst all the uncertainty, there was one thing crystal clear in my mind: I wanted Montessori education for my child.
From a volunteer mother’s group, I established a Montessori mother and child program, which flourished into a thriving Montessori kindergarten and elementary school. Continuing my mission, I successfully opened and managed an international Montessori teacher training center. Taking it a step further, I acquired a farm and land for our exceptional adolescent program.
MY MISSION
is to help you bring Montessori to your community
Recently I realized, thanks to feedback from my community, that I have a lot to share. I still remember how hard it was when one is trying to do everything on their own. And that is what helped me find the courage to step up.
I am passionately committed to helping you in whatever way you need. If you feel you could use my support, let me know. I will meet you where you are. And together we will find a way to discover your dream and realize it. Like I found and realized mine.
