Sunflower Classroom

Ms. Gina is the guide in our Sunflower classroom. She was first introduced to Montessori when she was hired as a Montessori Elementary assistant. Three years later, she took the AMI Primary
course and received her certification in 1992 from Montessori Institute NW. In addition to her Montessori credentials, she has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences from Washington State University and a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Marylhurst University. Gina has been teaching in the Montessori classroom for thirty years and looks forward to many more.

Gina has two grown children and nine grandchildren. In her free time, she loves spending time with her family, walking, baking, reading, scrapbooking, knitting and exploring antique stores.
