Mrs. Paula Reyes - Directress

I have been with Northstar Montessori since 2002. I started out as a volunteer and knew that I wanted to be part of this growing family. Since then I have watched many children grow and develop. After so many years in the classroom I have decided to go back to school and enrich myself. I have always loved working with children and that is one of the big reasons why I wanted to become a teacher. It is satisfying knowing that as a teacher, we help in the children’s development for the future. To me, it doesn't feel like a job but more of a privilege to be around young minds. The best part of this job is that every day is full of surprises, new challenges and pure fulfillment. Seeing the faces of the students when they complete a task brings pure joy to my heart. I have been with Northstar for over 15 years and every year has been filled with memories that I will never forget. The staff, the school, the students, the parents, and the environment are all a big part of why I am at Northstar. I feel very lucky to be able to work in such a great facility, it truly feels like home.

Mrs. Mariyad Bulla - Assistant

I am a professional architect and fifteen years ago I moved to Canada with my two children. I decided to start caring for children because I am passionate about being with them and teaching them creatively. Over time I found that there is a strong mutual connection and empathy in this work. I ran a home daycare for 10 years and now I am thrilled to be part of the Northstar Team as a Toddler Assistant. As I approach my first anniversary with Northstar this November, I am excited to transition from being a supply teacher in Casa to working with the Toddlers contributing to their development and growth.
