About Lisa

Greetings! My native home is Bauernheim, Germany, where my fondest childhood memories are rooted. I lived in multiple cities while receiving a Bachelor's in German Language and Literature in 2007. The peaceful and respectful ECE approach and science of Maria Montessori found me during college. I assisted in Infant, Toddler, and Children's House environments stateside and overseas. My partner Kirt brought me to Colorado, as did the AMS Early Childhood Montessori Credential. I served as a Children's House Guide at Chaffee County Montessori School and Salida Montessori Charter School for seven years, living in BV for 13 years. I am the founder of Shining Mountains Montessori School, currently on sabbatical to complete the AMI Assistants to Infancy Training concurrent with a Master's of Science in Child Policy.
