Stacy Keane
AMI Montessori certified teacher, M.Ed.
As the Head of the Monti Kids Learning Team, AMI certified educator and consultant Stacy contributes extensively to our curriculum and makes sure she stays relevant by working with new and expecting parents. “As an educator I was surprised by the amount of support I needed as a parent, and it is my goal that every Monti Kids family receives this support from the very beginning - we’re in this together!”
Catherine Yeo
AMI Montessori certified teacher
AMI certified educator Catherine has spent eight years teaching in Montessori classrooms. Now she shares her wealth of expertise with parents as a member of the Monti Kids Learning Team. “When I became pregnant with my first child in 2019 I immediately signed up for the Monti KidsⓇ Program and have been hooked ever since!”
Zahra Kassam
AMI Montessori certified teacher, M.Ed., Founder of Monti Kids
Zahra founded Monti Kids because even with all of her super powers, she couldn’t provide a comprehensive Montessori education for her infant son. With two degrees from Harvard, 10+ years teaching experience, and an AMI Montessori certification, she was well qualified for the challenge. “Simply, I want to give kids the best education and parents the best support.”
