Ms. Lani has been a Montessori primary teacher since 2012. It was an observation at a primary classroom that led her to this journey. Being a Montessori teacher is truly a gift and I enjoy forming relationships with my classroom children and families. I am excited to begin my work at The Springs and I can’t wait to meet you and your family.

I am a passionate teacher, dedicated to the Montessori method. I received my Montessori teaching credential from the Toronto Montessori Institute in 2001 and a Master’s Degree in Montessori Education from St. Catherine University in 2018.
As a lifelong learner, I strive to continue to build on my knowledge and to grow in my abilities as a teacher. I love languages and speak French fluently, understand some Spanish and German and hope to master those in the near future. While I love all of the areas of the classroom, the language curriculum has a special place in my heart. The most special part of being a Montessori teacher for me is being able to see the unique abilities of each child and to guide their learning by tapping into their individual strengths and interests.
