Ms Lynn
Teacher

Ms Lynn is returning to the Petersham Montessori School for another year. As a Petersham resident, she looks forward to continuing to support local students and teach the Montessori skills. She is finishing up her degree and is excited to complete her internship while in the class this year. 

A trained Montessori teacher acts as a guide between the child’s readiness and the appropriate lesson. Dr. Montessori recognized the importance of engaging the child’s mind through active interaction with his environment and said that “mental development must be connected to movement and be dependent on it.” Specifically designed Montessori materials enable the child to fix his attention on the lesson by focusing both the hand and the mind simultaneously. This effort at coordinating the brain with movement at the earliest ages is unique to Montessori.
