Miss Sarah
Montessori Guide & Groovd Learning Expert
Sarah taught kindergarten in Ohio public schools for six years, then trained as a Montessori guide because she wanted more time with the kids who were quietly falling behind. She has run toddler and primary classrooms for fifteen years since.
These days she teaches parents more than she teaches children. She runs weekend workshops out of a studio above her garage outside Columbus, and she writes the T.I.M.E. program for the families who can’t get to one.
