About Amaya

I am a dedicated educator with over 28 years of experience in early childhood education. As the founder of Foothills Montessori School, I built a thriving learning environment rooted in the Montessori philosophy, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love for learning in young children. With formal Montessori training, I have guided countless students in developing critical thinking skills and self-confidence. In addition to my work in Montessori education, I have extensive experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and supporting neurodivergent learners. My approach is centered on individualized instruction, recognizing and nurturing each child's unique strengths. Passionate about creating inclusive and engaging classrooms, I am committed to helping all children reach their full potential.
