OTHER INFORMATION

BIOGRAPHY

Laura Kish is a Lower Elementary Trained Montessorian who loves inspiring curiosity and a sense of wonder in the classroom. With more than ten years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in special education, she brings both expertise and a deep passion for helping each child discover their unique potential. Her favorite part of teaching is sharing children’s awe and wonder at the natural world and helping them discover the endless possibilities within themselves.

Outside the classroom, Laura enjoys spending time outdoors, thrifting for hidden treasures, reading, tending to her plants, and exploring new places with her family. She is the proud mom of three children, one of whom attends Hudson Montessori School.

“If the idea of the universe be presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying. The child’s mind will then no longer wander, but becomes fixed and can work. The knowledge he acquires is organized and systematic; his intelligence becomes whole and complete because of the vision of the whole that has been presented to him, and his interest spreads to all, for all are linked and have their place in the universe on which his mind is centred.” – Maria Montessori | To Educate the Human Potential, p. 6
