Hi, I’m Ashleigh! I’m a wife, mom to five girls, and an educator who truly believes that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and excited to learn. After 16 years in education—including working as a Montessori teacher, Assistant Director, homeschool mom, and now a Prenda Guide—I realized that the best learning happens when children feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. That’s the kind of environment I’ve worked hard to create. We combine the independence and hands-on learning of Montessori with the flexibility of a microschool. Students are encouraged to ask questions, move at their own pace, build confidence, and discover a love of learning. For the 2026–27 school year, I’m excited to be co-guiding alongside my longtime Montessori colleague and friend, Jamie Dennett. I’ll be working with our Kindergarten through 3rd grade students, while Ms. Jamie will guide our 4th through 8th graders. Together, we create a close-knit community where every child is known, encouraged, and supported. Choosing a school is a big decision, and I know every child is different. If you’re wondering whether our microschool might be the right fit for your family, I’d love to connect and answer any questions you have.
