Meet the Owner
Meet the owner and Lead Teacher, Andrea. She was born and raised in Mexico. In 2010, she moved to Montana and started teaching Spanish soon after. Andrea discovered a newfound passion for education and the Montessori method, earning her AMS Early Childhood Credential through the Montana Montessori Teacher Education Institute. She has dedicated over a decade to the classroom, serving as a Spanish teacher, assistant, and lead teacher.
Alongside her husband, Michael, they recognized a significant need for preschools in the Valley. Their commitment is to create a secure and nurturing environment that offers high-quality education for children.

"We are so grateful for the learning environment the staff at Big Sky Montessori has created. The teachers are creative in meeting the kids where they are at and allow the students to have a voice in individualizing ways to facilitate their independence and meet their needs. We know each day she is being met with patience, consistency and love and because of that have seen so much growth in our daughter this year."
