In addition to her teaching experience, Natasha has been an Instructor and a Field Supervisor at the Montessori Teachers College for over three years, providing training and supervision to teachers in the Infant Toddler Diploma program.
Natasha has created a Montessori Home for her daughter and is excited to extend this to other children. Their Needs First Montessori Pre School believes every child deserves the opportunity to reach their individual potential, and our intention is to create an environment where every child can thrive, now and in the future.
Natasha believes that children need a nurturing and loving environment in which they can grow and become the child they are destined to be. This also requires an adult with knowledge of each child’s individual needs. As a mother, teacher and caregiver, Natasha believes that parents should be comforted knowing that their child’s emotional and developmental needs are of the utmost importance as they transition from their home to ours.
