Natalie Ferrao and Megan Chester will be joining Long Hill Montessori School to teach in the Acorn Room next year. Both teachers bring extensive, diverse skills, and a passion to teach young children. What has instantly bonded this dream team is their energy and excitement to be a part of the new LHMS.
Mrs. Ferrao and Mrs. Chester have worked together for many years at Albrook Montessori in Liberty Corner, NJ. This well-established collaboration is sure to bring harmony and effectiveness in their lessons and prepared environment. Collaboration between Montessori co-teachers is a vital part of enriching classroom instruction and management.
