My name is Jenna Brown and I am a CASA teacher in the Montessori Stream at River Valley School, Calgary Alberta. I completed my Montessori training at the New England Montessori Teacher Education Center in Massachusetts, USA. I am a certified Montessori Directress with AMS and am MACTE accredited. I am originally from Newfoundland, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree with an English Major, at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. I had been working and volunteering with children for ten years before becoming a teacher in 2012 and I also have five years of experience working with special needs.
I am passionate about the Montessori method, as it naturally reflects my own beliefs for educating and interacting with children. I strongly believe that every child learns differently and that they deserve to be in a classroom that is built around mutual respect; one that nurtures their strengths and builds on their weaknesses. I strive to create an environment that revolves around the needs of the individual child, helping them to meet their full potential both academically and socially.
I am avid animal lover, who owns the sweetest Labrador Retriever and I recently adopted a beautiful Siamese cat from the Calgary Humane Society. When I am not spending time with my pets, I enjoy living an active life with my Boyfriend Eric, hiking, biking and snowboarding! Lastly, I especially love travelling and exploring new places, whenever I get the chance!
