This is the reason why we were so busy all summer long...


Our own Montessori preschool program! 
Thank you Honey for always making my dreams come true!

I have been a teacher for many years (traditional education) and I always wanted to have my own preschool program. While researching educational programs for our child back when we first started our adoption journey,  I fell in love with the Montessori Philosophy. It didn't take much convincing, once I discussed with my Honey, he immediately supported me so I worked very hard for 18 months in order to get my Montessori teaching certification.  As soon as I received my certification,  then it was time to implement the program I spent so much time planning. 
It has been a wonderful adventure. I am so thankful that I had the time to bond with our girl and spend so much time with her giving her all the one-on-one time we needed. Now that she is in school all day, I am able to pursue my dream of becoming my own boss doing what I love!

Our baby girl is our inspiration and she has been such an integral part of this project. She has been an active participant of every aspect of this project!

After months of searching… we finally found the perfect place!
