Beyond Montessori - Creative, Joyful Learning




“It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself, and truly work at it."

- Dr. Maria Montessori

A Personal Note from Miss. Hiltz

“I love the experience of working with young children! To observe a child successfully fulfilling their own goals each day; makes me as a Casa Directress very proud to be a part of each child’s journey. Children learn at their own pace allowing a Montessori Directress to gracefully guide each child towards endless possibilities. As Maria Montessori once said, “Helping children to cultivate their own natural desire to learn” encourages myself to guide each child individually towards their own personalized goals. I am extremely delighted to become a part of the Beyond Montessori community and am looking forward to the rewarding experience that I will gain as a Casa Directress within this holistic and creative school. With the welcoming staff and the smiling, intelligent children, this opportunity has become a privilege to join the teaching team. I look forward to becoming a Beyond Montessori Casa Directress that inspires each child to grow into exceptional individuals.”
