BIOGRAPHY

Kate Angelini earned her M.Ed. from Kent State University, B.A. from Loyola University Chicago, and Montessori credential from Seton Montessori Institute. Kate is deeply passionate about fostering in children a lifelong love of the natural world and an understanding of the interconnectedness of all living things. Most recently, this passion led her back home to Ohio to serve as a Field Instructor Fellow at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center, where she promoted sustainability and stewardship by teaching outdoor classes in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Prior to that, she taught at Alcuin Montessori School in Oak Park, Illinois, where she coordinated a school-wide gardening and vermicomposting program. Her love of empowering children to learn at their own pace, make their own discoveries, and express their unique interests and insights makes Montessori a natural fit. On weekends, she can typically be found hiking, cuddling her pit bull, or reading in a hammock.
