For the past 13 years, I have dedicated my career to working with young children. I received a Master's degree in Education from UW, meanwhile completed  AMS credentials for 0-3 years old and 3-6 years old. There is so much to learn about children beyond Montessori philosophy. Therefore, I finished training and obtained the WA State Early Childhood Education Certification (Proficiency Level) and Positive Discipline training for Educators. I Also have completed an Early Childhood Leadership Certificate at the Havard Saul Zaentz Initiative to enhance my ECE leadership skills. During my leisure time, I love to spend time with my family, dance & work out. I have finished 200 hours of yoga teacher training, received young children's yoga teaching certification, and passed RAD Ballet Intermediate level (Merit).

I am Originally from the state of Missouri and trained Violinist. I started my adventure of working with children in 2013 and have been a lead toddler teacher for the past 4 years. In my continuous pursuit of knowledge on subjects that fascinate me, I am currently working on my Montessori Certification! Forming a solid bond and sense of trust with each child as an individual is very important to my teaching and care philosophy as learning happens best in an encouraging and safe environment. I am passionate about the Whole Child Approach and facilitating play and interest-based learning, promoting independence and celebrating as real-world skills and connections form through it. 

 I earned my Montessori teacher Certificate in 2019 and worked as a bilingual Montessori teacher for several years. I graduated from Beijing Normal University with a master’s degree in law. My two boys both studied in Montessori school before entering into elementary school. I have a passion for being a Montessori teacher. The Montessori philosophy is a systematic approach to education that draws on the child’s natural development, independence, and confidence and is designed to allow each child to move at his or her own pace.This is why I am so passionate about the Montessori methodologies. There are so many teaching experiences I would love to share

I started working at a local Montessori school in 2015 and completed my AMS Montessori Certificate in 2019 to become a lead teacher. I remained there for over nine years; however, I found the EMA philosophies and atmosphere inspiring and moving, motivating me to make a change.
A Montessori classroom provides the ideal environment for children to learn and grow. I strongly believe in empowering children to be independent, self-directed learners, or, in Maria Montessori’s words, “We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself.”

I have completed a Master's degree in Education, Economics, and Business Administration with a passion for early childhood development. I have been dedicated to this field in India since 2007.

In the USA, I have been working in early childhood since 2020 and have completed CDA specializing in infants and toddlers. I have a passion for pursuing the Montessori certification, and I am excited to work at EMA, which will help to further my educational pursuits. I look forward to working with each of you in caring for your little ones.
 

I am deeply inspired by the Montessori teaching philosophies, which cultivate children’s independence and initiative within a nurturing learning environment. I am committed to lifelong learning and personal growth, continuously striving to enrich my ability to guide and support little ones. I have worked as a Montessori teacher for the past few years and earned my MACTE-accredited Montessori teacher certification. I find immense joy and purpose in working with children. I believe that teaching is a reciprocal journey where children teach me as much as I teach them. I am excited to continue my path of growth and learning through my work with EMA.

 I worked in a Montessori school in Thailand for 2 years and taught young children through hands-on activities. I love teaching children and am passionate about making learning spaces for children that are fun and safe. I like to give each child individualized guidance and support to help them grow and learn. I was born in Myanmar, and I recently moved to the US to pursue my degree in Early Childhood Education at Greenriver College. I want to continue being a teacher here in the US at EMA. While working at EMA, I'm also planning on getting my Montessori Credential. In my free time, I like to go to the gym and play the violin. I’m excited and looking forward to working at EMA.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education from the University of Washington – Seattle in 2019 and have over seven years of experience working with young children.  I have obtained my Montessori Certification and am now entering my fourth year as a Montessori educator. Throughout my teaching journey, I have cherished every moment of guiding and supporting children's development. My goal as an educator is to create a peaceful and nurturing environment that fosters the growth of the whole child while instilling a strong sense of self-worth and confidence in every student I encounter. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, staying active at the gym, and exploring new places through travel. I also have a four-year-old corgi named Zeke, who loves being outdoors, which means he keeps me active and exploring the outdoors as well!

I was born in China and moved to Las Vegas when I was 11, and in 2021, I made the big move to Seattle! My journey into childcare started when I began working at a Montessori school, and that’s when I realized how much I truly love helping children grow and learn. I’m currently pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Education and am excited to continue expanding my knowledge and skills in this field. I’m passionate about creating a fun and supportive learning environment where children can explore their creativity and curiosity. I believe every child learns best when they feel safe, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. Outside of teaching, I love spending my time doing arts and crafts or experimenting with new baking recipes. There’s nothing more satisfying than creating something from scratch, whether it’s a piece of art or a fresh batch of cookies! I’m really looking forward to getting to know the children and families at EMA and contributing to their growth in a positive and engaging way.
