Brittaney Stewart, BS, AMS - IT - Lead Teacher - Toddler One Classroom
Brittaney has loved being a part of MSC! There are many things that Brittaney likes about Montessori education, but her top two reasons are fostering each child’s independence within the classroom, and meeting the child’s needs where they are developmentally. When Brittaney is not in the classroom you can find her taking road trips, spending time with friends and family, or reading a book. She currently has one cat fur baby named Sophie who I rescued from the animal shelter in Laramie Wyoming.
