Ms. Maria Garcia - Directress

Hello everyone! I am excited to start a new path in my teaching career. I had the opportunity to be part of the Northstar community when I became a teacher over 20 years ago. When I moved back to Ecuador with my family, I was lucky enough to work at a school which was Montessori based, where I could apply many of my learning, I took with me from Northstar. I worked with different school age groups while in Ecuador, finding the process of development of the Upper Elementary age group, fascinating. I moved back to Canada in the summer of 2019, being lucky enough, once again, to be part of the Northstar community. Becoming a certified Montessori teacher for Upper Elementary will be an experience that will enrich my career, while learning from the children I will encounter on the way.
