“We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.”

Ms. Ana Karen was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. She has been working in the Montessori community since 2017. Montessori was new to Ms. Ana Karen and seeing how the children work and talk to each other brought so much curiosity and joy. In her Montessori journey, she has done before/after school programs, outdoor environment, and assisted lead guides. The Montessori method is something that has always had a special place within Ms. Ana Karen so she decided to take the AMI Montessori training in 2023. She received her Children's House AMI certification at the Southwest Institute of Montessori Studies in 2024. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. She likes to go camping, go to the movies with her husband, and travel.
