In man’s case, therefore, we are not dealing with something that develops, but with a fact of formation; something nonexistent has to be produced, starting from nothing.

toddler educational support staff

Ms. Bri is a born and raised Arizonaon! She can say she loves traveling around Arizona and the U.S. Seeing the different towns, landscapes, and meeting new people. Bri has had a passion for dancing ever since she was a child. In her free time she unwinds from her jobs and studying for her state boards for Esthetician by country swing dancing and being around her family and friends. She has always loved being around children and working with children. She has been nannying since she was a teenager.

Bri was introduced to Montessori in 2019 by one of her great friends Ms. Shelby. Bri was in the assistant role and had no idea what she was doing at the time. Once the lead teacher she was the assistant for taught her what Montessori was, Ms. Bri fell in love with the philosophy and pedagogy work. Every time she sees joy and satisfaction in a child’s face from completing a work in the classroom it puts her in awe. She loves being part of their journey and watching them grow.
