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

We absolutely LOVE MSA Montessori Preschool! Ms. Brenda, Ms. Natasha, Ms. Taylor and Ms. Parker are all amazing. Now in her second year, our daughter loves the days she gets to come to preschool and always comes home excited to “play school” and teach us all the things she learned. We feel the teachers work really hard to create a safe, inclusive and inviting space where all children are able to shine.

We appreciate how much they genuinely care and when we ask our daughter what is the best part of preschool she says EVERYTHING! We look forward to when our son is old enough to attend as we know he will thrive here. We are so grateful to Ms. Brenda for all that she does and truly feel this is the best place we could send our children to start their schooling journey.
