A Montessori Journey

As we closed out 2025, I found myself in a deeply reflective space. Looking back on the year felt natural, but my thoughts quickly moved beyond that and into reflection on my Montessori journey. 

When I walk into Willow Classroom, it feels like a second home—natural, cozy, and inspiring. Over break, I spent time thinking about why that is. In truth, this reflection first began during the Montessori Up Close journey. I had the joy and honor of returning to a toddler classroom and following the path all the way through Junior High.
