Welcome to our new website! If you see the words "COMING SOON," the latest and greatest is on the way!
The Montessori philosophy believes a well prepared environment fosters independence, curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. It is our goal to offer an environment where every child feels accepted, valued, and cared for. After children have developed a strong community, they go on to amazing learning opportunities within the physical classroom, as well as the virtual classroom. I am excited to be learning alongside your child, we will do and learn amazing things!
I'm excited to work with our upper elementary students in our virtual platform! I've been with IMS since the year we opened in 2013. I am a certified Lower and Upper Montessori Guide with over 10 years of Montessori experience. Prior to learning about Montessori, I taught Theatre Arts to grades K-12 for over 5 years. I love incorporating the Arts in my day to day prepared environment and lessons. In my free time I enjoy playing the piano, playing football with my 2 sons and husband, and traveling to new places with the whole family, including Gracie, our goldendoodle.
ABOUT MRS. WENDY
I am so excited to work with the full remote students. I look forward to a fun and adventurous learning experience!
Prior to teaching, I spent 20 years in the business world with positions in finance, accounting, and management. I wanted to become a teacher to try and make a difference in young people's lives and to hopefully inspire passion and interest in learning.
I grew up in Wilmington, NC, and love this great city. I am married to Chris; we have one daughter, Julia, and a rescued dog named Red Heart. I have a BA in Chemistry, a Master of Arts in Elementary Education, and a NC Teaching License.
