Hello! My name is Samantha Winters, and being both a teacher and a mom has shaped who I am in such meaningful ways. I’m the proud mother of an eleven month old son and a loving stepmom to a spirited two year old daughter. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and the patience, love, and creativity I bring into my home are the same qualities I strive to bring into my classroom.
I graduated from Calumet College of St. Joseph with a degree in Elementary Education, and my passion for working with children only continues to grow. I’ve always believed that every child has their own unique gifts, and my role as a teacher is to help nurture those gifts so they can thrive with confidence and independence. Becoming part of the Montessori community has been especially meaningful to me because it aligns with my core belief that children learn best when they are encouraged to explore, make choices, and discover the joy of learning in their own way.
My goals as a Montessori teacher are to create a warm and inviting classroom environment where children feel safe, respected, and inspired. I want my students to develop a deep love of learning, independence, and kindness toward others. Watching children grow into curious, capable, and compassionate individuals is truly the most rewarding part of my work.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, bowling, and doing arts and crafts. Creativity has always been an important outlet for me, and I love finding ways to bring that creativity into the classroom.
