Our Mission: Nurturing Well-Rounded Leaders
Our mission is to empower children through a love of learning, fostered in an environment of peace and security. Grounded in the wisdom of Dr. Maria Montessori, we respect each child's unique development and growth pace.
Our goal extends beyond academic achievement. We strive to cultivate individuals who embody honesty, virtue, and compassion, alongside a thirst for knowledge and a commitment to justice, wisdom, and self-control. These are the cornerstones of a successful life, and the foundation upon which we build together.
Ashley Egan, Director
With a passion ignited over two decades ago, I've dedicated my life to nurturing young minds. My journey began in a Montessori classroom, where at the tender age of 17, I discovered a calling. I've since honed my craft, managing dynamic classrooms of up to thirty-six preschoolers and kindergarteners, each a unique bloom demanding careful cultivation.
My expertise extends beyond typical early childhood education. Two immersive years working with children facing severe challenges—abuse, behavioral disorders, and mental health crises—deepened my understanding of child development and resilience. This profound experience, coupled with my Montessori training at Meca Seton and a BS in Public Health, has equipped me with a comprehensive toolkit to foster holistic growth in children. As a former foster parent, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of love and support. Now, I'm thrilled to reopen my Montessori Preschool in Idaho, where I can share my passion and expertise with even more families. My goal is nothing short of inspiring a generation of confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. Let's embark on this enriching journey together.
