Meet Our Teachers

Nirmala was born and educated in India, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Arts and a Bachelor’s in Education. After moving to the U.S., she received her Texas Teacher Certification and taught in Frisco ISD for two years.

She later completed her Montessori certification for the Primary age group (3–6) and has spent the last 14 years as a Lead Primary Teacher.

Nirmala is passionate about early childhood education and says, “I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. As an early childhood educator, I believe part of them always belongs to me.”

In her free time, she enjoys gardening and organizing.

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Ms. Marlen has called Lewisville home since 2008. She began her career in early childhood education in 2019 and has since gained experience working with children of all ages—from infants to primary students.

She earned her infant and toddler AMS Montessori certification through the Dallas Montessori Teacher Education Program, where she found the experience truly inspiring and enriching.

What Ms. Marlen loves most about teaching is building meaningful connections with her students. She finds great joy in guiding them toward independence, helping them overcome challenges, and witnessing the excitement on their faces when they discover something new.

Outside of the classroom, she enjoys spending time with her husband, and their playful puppy, Enzo. Together they love going on walks, camping, cooking, and spending time with family.

Latoya moved to the United States from Jamaica at the age of 15. She holds an Associate Degree in Child Development, along with certifications in Montessori Environmental Practices, Patient Care Technology, and as a Parent, Infant, and Child Facilitator (PICC).

With 30 years of experience as an infant teacher, Latoya has also worked with toddlers and pre-kindergarten children for two years each. She is deeply passionate about ensuring that babies feel secure, comfortable, and loved, and takes great joy in encouraging important milestones such as tummy time, first words, and fine motor skills development.

Latoya understands the vital role that trust and attachment play in the first year of life and is dedicated to helping infants feel calm and cared for through predictable daily rhythms, always advocating for the infant’s voice.

Latoya has three children of her own and in her free time, she enjoys reading and watching crime television shows.
