Speech & Language Pathologist
I am dedicated to the Collective Montessori Community because of its collaborative spirit and the nurturing environment it creates for students, families, and educators alike. The Montessori philosophy’s focus on individualized learning and mutual respect aligns perfectly with my passion for helping children thrive in both their communication skills and personal growth. Being part of a community that values connection, curiosity, and care inspires me to give my best every day, fostering meaningful progress for the students I support.

Cassie Wipperman
Occupational Therapist/Health Room Aide
I am dedicated to the Collective Montessori community because it is a wonderful place in which I can help guide children in their desire to build their present selves into their future best selves - through an environment filled with knowledge, understanding, trust, and love of the whole child. I believe in the beauty of the nurturing, diverse, and inclusive community from which it was founded and continues to grow. As a staff and parent - I cannot picture sending my child anywhere else. The commitment, care, and skill sets of the staff members in this community are beyond compare - and I know that my child is thriving because of this community in which she has grown. I am dedicated to not only a brighter future for her - but for all of the members of this community!

Special Education Paraprofessional
I am dedicated to the Collective Montessori community because I have been with the school for a long time and I love everyone at the school. The staff here is very understanding and helpful. I have always wanted to work here because I have children that go here and have some of the same abilities as other children in the school. I love working with children. This is my calling.

I am dedicated to the Collective Montessori community because of the passion and excitement for learning that grows here. The students bring their individual ideas and energy into the classroom making each day an adventure. It truly feels like a community, with families and staff partnering to celebrate growth and face any new challenges together. I love doing my part to help guide students through their learning experience in the classroom and see where their creativity takes them.
