Huckleberry Montessori has blossomed from a desire to share this incredible philosophy with the growing families of Sandpoint and an overall demand for more quality preschool in the area. Rachael has been teaching Montessori for over 12 years in Colorado and Costa Rica before landing in Sandpoint, Idaho. While receiving her BA from the University of Colorado in Spanish Language and Literature, she began her journey in Montessori as an assistant in both Toddler and Primary classrooms. She fell in love with the amazing Montessori philosophy, it's Peace curriculum, and the overall respect it showed to both children and the natural world. Rachael graduated from the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies. She spent a year teaching in Costa Rica and helped the school evolve into a traditional Montessori program that served children from ages 1 up to 12. Also a certified Yoga teacher, Rachael feels Yoga and Montessori share many similar ideals which she enjoys weaving together in the classroom. Her love of Montessori and travel brought her an opportunity to volunteer in 2015 in Tanzania at the Upendo Friends School to share Montessori knowledge and materials and in turn bring home lasting memories and experiences from across the globe. When not in the classroom, Rachael can be found outside adventuring with her husband, 4 year old daughter and fluffy dog exploring all of the incredible places north Idaho has to offer! Teaching Yoga, cooking, traveling and playing with family and friends on the lake or at the mountain are all things that make her heart sing!
"We shall walk together on this path of life. For all things are part of the universe and are connected to form one whole unity." Maria Montessori
