TLC Montessori's mission, our vision, and our goals, are expressions of my point of view and clearly define my idea of what I strive to accomplish. I believe each and every child should be in an environment that is safe, educationally stimulating, peaceful and caring.

I started TLC thirty-two years ago using the traditional method of early childhood education. After five years using traditional teaching methods I was introduced to Montessori. Once I experienced the multi-age Montessori classroom, I realized how natural and easy children move through the materials and lessons using this method. After completing the classroom course work and the practicum, I knew this was the way to positively change a child’s view of learning and school. The Montessori Method creates independence and self-esteem in children along with a sense of curiosity and openness toward learning.

Kyungah Kim | Director
I had an opportunity to learn about the Montessori philosophy in depth while completing my MA in Early Childhood Education in 1998.  Having worked with three other early childhood programs, I recognized the wisdom of the Montessori approach, which soon earned a very special place in my heart.  The more I work with young children in the Montessori environment, the more I grow as an educator.  My goal is to ensure that the faculty and staff of TLC work as a team to carry out our mission on behalf of our students and families.

Christal Ferrier | Office Manager
I have worked at TLC Montessori as the Office Manager for several years.  I was drawn to the position because of the variety of tasks involved in running an office and staff. Over time I realized that although the position was office related I was able to expand to working with the families at TLC.

Over the past several years I have become a part of a community that understands the value of an early childhood education and the relationships surrounding it. It is a pleasure introducing new families to TLC and the Montessori Method, and getting to know our current families.
