Our mission is to empower children to become confident, independent, and compassionate individuals who are well-prepared for a lifetime of learning and success.
At Montessori Story, we are committed to providing a nurturing, child-centered learning environment that fosters each child's natural curiosity and love of learning. We follow the principles and methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, recognizing the unique needs of each child and the importance of respecting their individuality.
We are proud to adhere to the Montessori approach to early childhood education, which is rooted in the pioneering work of Dr. Maria Montessori. This approach is based on several core principles: Child-Centered Learning, Mixed-Age Classroom, Prepared Environment, Hands-On Learning, Freedom within Limits, Observation and Individualized Instruction, Cultural Awareness.
Welcome to Montessori Story, where our passion for nurturing young minds is the heart of our community! I'm the founder and lead educator here, and I'm absolutely delighted to invite you into our cozy corner of the world, designed with love to foster the growth and development of our little ones.
With a Master's Degree in Education and my roots as a piano teacher, my Montessori journey unfolded in 2014. I'm honored to hold an AMI 0-3 diploma from The Montessori Institute in Denver, and my experience spans across the globe, from the bustling streets of Moscow to the vibrant energy of New York and the sunny vibes of Los Angeles. I'm fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and I'm wholeheartedly committed to creating a multilingual, inclusive space where every child's voice is heard and cherished.
As a fellow parent, I truly get the ups and downs of raising children in today's world. That's why I'm dedicated to building a supportive community where families can come together, exchange wisdom, and journey through the beautiful, sometimes chaotic, adventure of parenting.
When I'm not immersed in the world of Montessori, you'll find me embracing the great outdoors, cycling, gardening, crafting, or tickling the ivories of my piano. My family—my husband, son, mom, and our gentle feline friend Franky—fill my home with joy and laughter.
Proud of my Ukrainian heritage, I stand with my homeland in its pursuit of freedom. I believe in a world where equity is non-negotiable, and I advocate tirelessly for equal rights for all. In our community, discrimination has no place; we strive for an atmosphere of respect and acceptance, welcoming all with open arms.
Thank you for considering Montessori Story as a partner in your child's educational journey. We can't wait to meet you and your little one!
