Kate is not only the head of our Buffalo Grove Montessori School, she is also director and educational coordinator at our sister school in Hanover Park, Greenbrook Montessori School. She enjoys her job because she gets to be involved in each of our classrooms supporting the children and teachers. Getting to know the families as I do orientations, meetings and school events is a fulfilling part of my job.

Kate began her teacher training in 1997 after the birth of my oldest daughter. She fell in love with the birth -three concepts that Montessori had to offer. She went on to take the 3-6 training and enjoyed working in those classrooms while her own children also attended the program. Kate believes that letting children have some free choice and independence is key to helping them develop into confident adults.
