Colleen Griffin, Lead Teacher - "My name is Colleen. I'm from Charleston, SC., and moved to Asheville in August, 2006. I have a wonderful son named Julian. His is four years old and he is my happiness." "I attended Montessori at ages three to six. As an adult, I went to school for Early Childhood Education at a local community college, and continued my education at American Montessori Institute of Atlanta. I finished my teacher training with North American Teacher Training Center in 2000. I have been working in working in Montessori for twelve years. I'm a firm believer in Maria Montessori's methods of teaching for the primary ages. I love teaching and fostering the best in each and every child." colgriffin@ashevillemontessorischool.com
