“I fell in love with Greenspring Montessori School from the first time I visited and after observing the dynamics in a classroom, I was eager to learn more about the Montessori philosophy. I believe education should be structured to fit the needs of the child, and adults should embrace their natural way of learning, and help them reach their potential.”
