Hi! I’m Miss Natasha, I have been an on-call substitute at MSA Montessori for several years and I am currently taking my ECE. I love getting to know all the children, they’re all so unique. I especially love hearing all their ideas and stories, they always know how to make you smile. I’m so thankful to be a part of such a wonderful school and look forward many years of learning, laughing and growing with you all.


Testimonials

The number and variety of manipulative materials that the MSA Montessori Preschool offers is very rare. Every corner of the classroom invites the children to explore and expand their capabilities. I am happy that my children have the opportunity to be part of such a complete program. I’ve noticed an improvement in speech, socialization, and self-confidence, especially because they are treated with respect and care. The best testimonial comes from my two kids who want to go to school even on weekends!!
