Southbridge Welcomes Yohanna to Our Teaching Team

Southbridge Christian Montessori is thrilled to announce that Yohanna is joining our staff, bringing a heart for children, a passion for Christian Montessori education, and a deep commitment to both faith and learning. Yohanna’s journey in education and her love for guiding children reflect the very spirit of our school.
From a young age, Yohanna has felt called to serve and support children. This passion led her to pursue education in college, where she discovered Christian Montessori and immediately recognized the beauty of a classroom where children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. For Yohanna, the Montessori guide is more than a teacher—it’s someone who embodies Christ’s love and creates a nurturing space where every child feels seen, respected, and inspired.
Yohanna’s professional path began in 2021 as a part-time assistant in a Montessori Casa classroom. She soon became the Art Specialist, bringing creativity and joy into the daily lives of students. Eager to deepen her understanding, Yohanna completed her Montessori training and gained hands-on experience as an assistant in an Elementary I classroom. Most recently, she took on her first lead teaching role in an Elementary II classroom, guiding older students through meaningful work, discovery, and personal growth.
In May 2024, Yohanna graduated from BGU with an Associate’s degree in Intercultural Ministries, alongside her Montessori certification. Her training and experience have not only shaped her professional skills but have also transformed her personally. She shares that teaching in Montessori classrooms has led her closer to Jesus, and she continues to say “yes” to wherever God leads—especially when it comes to serving children through Montessori education.
Yohanna’s arrival is a gift to the Southbridge community. Her experience, creativity, and devotion to guiding children in both learning and faith make her a perfect addition to our team. We look forward to the many ways she will help our students flourish and help make Southbridge a place where children are known, loved, and equipped for the journey ahead.
