My name is Ms. Kayla and I am so grateful to join the Broomfield Montessori Preschool community. My journey as an educator began with a deep curiosity about how children learn and grow. I discovered the Montessori method—an approach that profoundly resonated with my values, particularly its emphasis on independence, peace education, and the nurturing of the whole child.

With nearly a decade of experience in Montessori education, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of school communities. My passion for early childhood education led me to Arizona, where I earned my AMI Montessori certification for children ages 2 to 6. While in Arizona, I not only taught in several established Montessori environments, but also helped develop a new school—contributing to the design of the classroom environments, building curriculum, and engaging in meaningful community outreach. These experiences further deepened my appreciation for the transformative impact of Montessori education.

Though Arizona was home for nearly seven years, I have always felt drawn to the natural beauty and spirit of Colorado. That dream brought me to Boulder, where I spent the last year mentoring and coaching fellow educators. Now, I am thrilled to be returning to the classroom and to once again walk alongside young learners as they engage in their own process of self-construction.

I bring to Broomfield Montessori a deep commitment to fostering joyful, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences. I strive to create a classroom environment filled with creativity, curiosity, warmth, and respect—one that honors each child’s unique path and inspires a lifelong love of learning.

Outside of school, I enjoy hiking Colorado’s trails with my 11-year-old dog, painting, jewelry making, and exploring new creative outlets. I look forward to building strong, collaborative relationships with you and your children, and to contributing positively to this vibrant community.

Hi! My name is Ms. Ashelyn, and I have been working in childcare for almost four years. I love helping children learn and grow socially and emotionally, while creating a positive environment where they can build confidence within themselves.

In my free time, I enjoy being creative and spending time with the people I love!

Hello, my name is Ms. Bethani and I have been around children my whole life. I began my Montessori journey in 2014 and I received my Montessori Infant and Toddler Teaching Certification in 2016 from Montessori Education Center of the Rockies. I have been working in infant and toddlers ever since. I genuinely enjoy being with small children, teaching and learning with them and seeing the magic in them. In my spare time, I also

enjoy being a mother to a wonderful little girl as well as a dog mom.  We enjoy exploring new things, the outdoors, cooking and baking.

Originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, I have loved living in Colorado since 2003. I

moved to Boulder to attend Naropa University, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Dance Movement Therapy with a focus in Neurobiology Parent-Child Attachment Relationships.

I went on to receive certificates in Early Childhood Education and Infant Nursery

Supervisor Qualified by the State of Colorado. I began working as a Lead Infant Teacher with at-risk infants.

After wonderful experiences in the Montessori environment, I decided to devote my life’s work to helping children and families. I received my Infant/Toddler Montessori Certification in 2014 through the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies and interned at Parker Montessori School. Since then, I have continued to grow personally and professionally, helping to create Infant/Toddler programs at several area Montessori schools and running my own business as a Montessori teacher and nanny from my own

at home boutique style Montessori school.

I began working at Broomfield Montessori School in October of 2025, and I am

passionate about my work as a teacher, actress, artist, and simple down to Earth

human being. Besides supporting children to find their best selves and confidence, I

also love horses, rock climbing, hiking, archery, cooking, singing, dancing, musical

theater and painting.

Hi, my name is Mrs. Ellie Taylor and I am thankful to join the Broomfield Montessori Preschool community.

I grew up in the beautiful country of Panama and later lived in North Carolina and Florida. When my husband received a job offer in Colorado, we moved here in 1997, and our family instantly fell in love with the stunning Rocky Mountains.

With 23 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, I have spent 12 of those years working in Montessori environments, including six years as a Montessori Lead Guide. I hold my Childhood Teacher Certification, Director Qualifications, and a Montessori certificate from the North America Montessori Center.

In 2014, I was honored to be nominated for the Adam County Terrific Teacher Event, where I received the ECE Professional Certificate for the passionate work my team and I accomplished. Additionally, I was recognized by Metropolitan State University for my contributions to Mentoring Services.

My educational philosophy centers around observing children for who they truly are, respecting their unique individuality, and helping them uncover their gifts through natural exploration of the world around them.

In my spare time, I love paddle boarding on serene lakes. I also enjoy biking without a particular destination, relishing the journey itself. For me, the thrill lies in being adventurous and discovering where the path leads, all while taking in the breathtaking landscapes that Colorado has to offer.

Coming Soon!

Hi! My name is Ms. Rachael and I have lived in Colorado all my life. I have my Bachelors and teaching license in Early Childhood Education and have a Colorado Shines level 6. I have worked with infants up to elementary aged children for the last five years and I have had the wonderful opportunity to see children at various stages of learning and development to become a well rounded teacher. I love helping children better understand themselves and the world around them, building strong connections with children and families, and making learning an engaging experience.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, trying new restaurants, thriting, and doing arts and crafts. I look forward to my journey here at Broomfield Montessori Preschool! 

Hi, my name is Ms. Rosie.

I recently moved to Colorado from a small town in Vermont. I am still in shock of the beauty here! Before I moved to Colorado I worked at a nature based school with preschool age children. I learned so much about how to help children become independent, curious and appreciate the natural world. I am very excited to see how Montessori and nature based learning can blend. I believe that when children can love and care for our environment it can create a more beautiful future.

My most important goal is to create a welcoming environment to be at school and help create a love for learning.

Outside of my time at work I am still getting to know all the things this state has to offer, so I love driving around and exploring. Once of my favorite things to do is to find new parks and go for long walks to enjoy the scenery. I always welcome tips for favorite hikes! 

I can't wait to know all of you more!
