Mrs. Angel Scott - Directress

I attended a Liberal Studies program at Seneca College in 1997 and graduated with high honours. In 2002 I graduated from York University with a degree, both in English and History before I attended Sheridan College, where I received my Montessori Early Childhood Teacher Education program certification and was a Sheridan Scholar. Upon completion of my 1 year internship at Tall Pines School in Brampton I was blessed to begin my career at Northstar in September 2003.

I have two mature children who were my inspiration for becoming a teacher. I choose to be a Montessori teacher because of my love for children and desire to help all children reach their greatest potential. I believe the Montessori method provides me the best opportunity to accomplish that goal. I am at Northstar because it is an incredible school that is culturally diverse where everyone’s differences are celebrated rather than merely acknowledged. It is truly a unique and wonderful community.

Mrs. Nuria Segura - Directress

I am a graduate from University of Barcelona (Spain) with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. As I already was interested in working with children, I took a Master’s degree in Psychiatric and Psychology of Childhood and Adolescence. All of my work experience after my studies was related in educational area so it began my passion for teaching. After moving to Canada, I began to read Maria Montessori’s books and I was amazed by the Montessori Method. So, I decided to take the assistant course in AMI, Association of Montessori International and started working immediately in various Montessori environments. I am very thankful for the opportunity that Northstar is giving to me to continue growing as a professional and as a person. I look forward to working with everyone: Parents, students and staff.

Ms. Tanya Resendes - Assistant

I am an Early Child Care Assistant, graduate of Everest College class of 2008. I have gained experience in working with children of various age groups by working at a child care centre for 5 years. I greatly enjoy working with children and being part of a team. I am excited to be working in the Casa 3 classroom and looking forward to meeting all of the students and parents. May this be the first of many memorable years to come.
