Creekside Montessori is a Home-Based Montessori Preschool and was founded by myself (Ali) along with my husband and our four boys. While I hold the A.M.I. Montessori Primary Teaching Certificate, he is the man power behind the scenes building and maintaining shelves, tables, rooms, etc. Of course we can't forget our boys part in all of this, afterall they sacrificed their "toy room" for the Montessori Classroom.
I had the privilege of teaching preschool and kindergarten at a Montessori Charter School in Mesa, Arizona for 10 yrs. I started there as a student teacher and was hired as a lead-teacher upon graduation. This is where I truly blossomed and "became" a Montessori Teacher. After 10 yrs I left teaching to pursue other dreams such as: going back to school, moving to Utah near the mountains, getting married, moving to Canada and raising four boys (I'm still working on that last one:)
My husband is Canadian and was living in Calgary, Alberta when I met him. He was a single dad with four young boys (oldest was 8 and the youngest 2). When we decided to get married I knew it would be best for the boys if I was the one to relocate. After two long years of sub zero temperatures we made the move to sunny Arizona and have been here since December of 2009. Now that my boys are all in school, I am looking forward to being able to pursue my love of teaching once again...this time from my home, so I can still do what I love most...being a wife and mom!
