About Carolyn
Carolyn is a long-time Montessori educator who believes that young children learn best when they are in motion! Music is her passion in the Early Childhood setting. She has been a Montessori/ Orff-Schulwerk music specialist since 2013, working with more than 750 children weekly in Montessori Primary and Lower Elementary schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Currently, she is working musically and remotely with children through her Homebound Montessori program for families (and schools) who are home-based since the pandemic took hold in early 2020. In the Homebound Montessori program, she collaborates with six other Montessori educators from around the globe to bring authentic Montessori education to children and their families in an “international online children’s house.”
Over her decades of teaching, Carolyn has been a Montessori Preschool owner, a site director, ECE instructor, Montessori educator in the Fiji Islands, and she even taught her own children in their Montessori homeschool in rural North Carolina in the 1980’s. Carolyn has also been training Montessori teachers with the AMS training program at Fountainhead Montessori Adult Education Center in Dublin CA since 2005.
You may already know her through her Montessori education platform, Magical Movement Company where she has offered her educational products and her Musically Montessori on-line eCourses for hundreds of educators world-wide since 2014.
Carolyn believes it is crucially important to bring the Arts, Music, and Outdoor Classroom to children everywhere. “Learning through the Art of Play,” that is her lifelong commitment to children and their grown-ups!
