My name is Leah (she/her).

I am the founder and head teacher at Bluebird Montessori, a small program that supports children ages 3-6 and their families. I live in upstate New York with my husband, our two adolescent children, two cats, and a handful of chickens. I completed my Montessori training at Northeast Montessori Institute and am a certified teacher through the American Montessori Society (AMS). I have a background in visual and performing arts and hold a BA from Bennington College. I am passionate about handcrafting materials for family and classroom learning, and inspiring a joyful life. I have presented workshops to Montessori educators titled “Crafting Your Classroom” at the national AMS conference in Chicago and at the CMS regional conference in Cincinnati.
