Abeer (Abby) Alhayek is our Owner/Director, she has eight years of experience as a teacher and director in a Montessori program, and is certified to teach T-K/Kinder and Lower Elementary. Amanda Nelson is the Lead Teacher and has been teaching in a Montessori classroom for a decade, she is certified in both Upper and Lower Elementary. Diedre Nehr has been working in a Montessori classroom for the past eight years; she is certified in Lower Elementary and holds a degree in Early Childhood Education. Heather Sharp is the Lead Teacher for TK-K teacher and Mrs. Tammy Motteshard is our mentor teacher.
Tuition rates are provided in the registration packet. Rates are comparable to other local private schools for half-day, 3/4 day, and full-day Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten, as well as elementary and after school program.
We will never exceed a ratio of twelve students per teacher. In the Montessori environment children are usually in multi-age cohorts as they work according to their skills and abilities, as well as their needs for support. We anticipate a lower elementary cohort and an upper elementary cohort, focused on the specific academic needs of children at these developmental stages.
We will be following the holidays and dates of the Sierra Sands academic calendar. However, we will not have late start days, and our minimum days will be slightly different because the Montessori model provides for more parent conferences than public schools. School will start daily at 8:00am, but drop-off will start at 7:30am. School will end at 2:30pm for those who are enrolled for the full day, the After School Enrichment Program will end at 5:30pm.
