Carol completed an additional American Montessori Society early childhood credential in Chicago, Illinois in 2004. Carol has been active in presenting philosophy and lessons at the Montessori Paraprofessional Training Program.

All three of Carol’s children attended MSOW. Her daughter, Molly is currently a Montessori trained teacher at MSOW. Carol’s two grandchildren are presently students here. Carol firmly believes that Montessori education promotes inner-confidence, problem solving, and competency – all related to what Maria Montessori termed as ‘an aid to life.’
