Hi, my name is Mallory!

Originally from California, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. I have now spent more than half my life in the Pacific North West and wouldn't have it any other way!

We are so fortunate as Washingtonians to be surrounded by so much natural beauty in every direction we look.

I am looking forward to sharing such an incredible natural environment with the children - to help them connect with nature - to teach them how to care for and nourish the living world around us and to foster within them a great love for the Earth and all of its inhabitants.

As a child that attended Montessori school and soon-to-be MACTE certified preschool teacher, I am looking forward to incorporating the Montessori philosophy and materials into our classroom environment.

Maria Montessori’s principles of using concrete, hands-on work, allowing freedom of movement, exploration, experimentation and emphasis on purposeful work, marry so perfectly with Forest School to create the most incredible learning experience.

I am so excited to be joining the Montessori Forest School Family and to continue learning and growing along with our students!

Hi, I'm Sarah! I was born and raised in Seattle and graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts in 2010. As a young person growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I developed a deep appreciation for nature and the wild places. Living in the Snoqualmie Valley since 2012, I have explored many ways to pursue and share my passion for the outdoors. My range of experience includes trail building and plant conservation, organic farming, outdoor education at an international summer camp, and guiding bicycle tours around the U.S. Over the course of my adventures, I have found a strong passion for helping others to discover their own connections to nature, the landscape, and the Earth's community of living things. I am so excited to join the Montessori Forest School family this year, and feel very fortunate for the opportunity to combine my love of guiding young children, with my desire to foster a sense of familiarity and confidence in our natural surroundings.
