Intro

Hi,

I live in Herndon with my three sons who are 8, 9, and 17.

I have a BA in art history. I have worked in Montessori schools since 2003 in infant and toddler rooms. I am studying to earn an AAS degree in Early Childhood Development. I am also interested in special education and may eventually become a special ed teacher or a therapist. I am taking a Montessori Infant/Toddler training course.
