Hello! My name is Ella Kissinger! I grew up in Valparaiso and just graduated from Valparaiso High School in 2025. My interest in working with kids started when I took a Childhood Development class where I learned about the stages of development throughout childhood adolescents, and also got to work alongside with preschoolers provided by the school. I am very passionate about helping children develop confidence, independence, and a love for learning. I am dedicated to fostering a safe, nurturing, and engaging classroom where children can grow and thrive.

Some of my hobbies outside of the classroom include going to the beach, hanging out with my boyfriend, and baking! I am so excited about the upcoming school year and to continue learning more about the Montessori Education!
