Gaby

My name is Aida Garcia.  I am a native Mexican that is fluent both in Spanish and English.  My husband, Hector, and I have one child, Max, who attends Greenway Crossing Montessori in the 3-6 Primary Room. I have always had a love for learning and children.  I am very happy to have a professional career as a Montessori Teacher.   I have been with the school since the Fall of 2005.  My early childhood education is from MATC and a Montessori training from Meca-Seton Training Center of Hinsdale, Illinois.  I love sharing my Spanish language in the morning 3-6 Primary classroom.    I also plan weekly an intensive seven hour immersion environment for the Elementary classroom and a two hour immersion for the Extended Day children.   I love my work and hope to meet you soon.

Virginia "Vicki"

My name is Virginia Albarrán and I was born in Morelos, Mexico. My little girl will be born around July 5, 2008.  I have a certification for childcare through MATC and also Montessori training from Meca-Seton Training Center of Hinsdale, Illinois.  I have been working at Greenway Crossing Montessori for two years (since 2006). I really enjoy teaching.  I especially like that Montessori respects each child. I think it is wonderful that the children become very independent.  We try to help each child prepare for the future.  Every day the children teach me something new.  I am continuing my own education through MATC.  I truly believe that children are our key for the future and that knowledge is one of our most precious gifts in life.

Ariel

Hello, my name is Ariel Bohnsack and I am 20 years old. I am the After-School teacher here at Greenway Crossing Montessori School. I also teach one of the Elementary classes during the Summer Camp. I started at Greenway Crossing the summer of ‘08. I am from Warren, IL where I lived with my 5 brothers and sisters. I moved to Madison to attend school at Edgewood College, where I am majoring in Nursing and Psychology. I have grown up around Montessori my whole life with my Grandma, Ms. Cynthia (President and Director of Greenway Crossing Montessori). I have also received Montessori Training from MECA Seton in Chicago. I love working at the school. I love to see children learn and grow. It is such a friendly place, it really feels like home. 

Phyllis

Hello, my name is Phyllis, I was born in North Dakota and have lived in West Bend, Sheboygan and Madison Wisconsin. I have been teaching for 40 year and started working at Greenway Crossing Montessori the fall of 2008. I graduated from Jamestown College with a BS in Elementary Education. I have Pre-school Montessori Training from MMTTC in Chicago. I also have my Elementary Montessori Program training from NAMC in British Columbia, Canada.

I am married with four children. I love working with children and watching them change and grow in independence. My biggest goal is to instill in them a love of learning.

What attracted me to Greenway Crossing Montessori School was the diversity and sense of "family" felt throughout the school.

Come in and visit our school and meet the rest of our great teachers.
