Hello! My name is Megan Ellis-Booth! I have been at Valparaiso Montessori School since August 2024. I was born in Indiana but lived in Illinois for 20 years before moving back to the area. I have my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from National Louis University. I have two Montessori essentials certificates, one from Seton Montessori and one from Prepared Montessori Institute. I am currently working on my Montessori teaching certification from Prepared Montessori Institute. I love watching children reach and master new milestones and build confidence in themselves. It’s such a heartwarming feeling knowing that I had a part in their success. It is my top priority that I create a safe, warm, and welcoming learning environment for the children to thrive in. In my free time outside of the classroom I like to play video games, make art, and spend time with my husband and family. I can’t wait to meet you and your child and create many memories together!
