About me

Hi, I’m Corine Noronha, a proud mom of two great kids, Alex (15) and Daniella (20) who continue to keep me grounded and ever-present in their worlds and for that, I am so grateful!

I chanced upon Montessori 17 years ago when my daughter was 3 years old and since then, have dug my heels deeper into learning, understanding, and applying this life-changing philosophy so generously shared by Dr. Maria Montessori.

As an educator, I’ve always loved partnering with the parents and families of the children I worked with. Parents are the child’s first teachers, the home and culture of the family is the child’s first environment and I am excited to share basic Montessori principles that you as a parent can easily adopt in your own homes. I love hearing about your joys and challenges as a parent and I am happy to share my journey, my experiences, and my joys and challenges as a Montessori-inspired mom and educator with you.

I’m deeply grateful for all my experiences at every school I’ve worked with, especially, The Post Oak School and St. Catherine’s Montessori who have been a guiding light during my years of learning. My experiences at these schools and the guidance from the mentors there led me to a deeper understanding of Montessori and to pursue my AMI training after my AMS certification.

My passion to serve parents and children motivates me to continue learning and growing.

The world holds so many amazing Montessori guides, moms, trainers, educators, and people who strive to share the beauty of Montessori.

I am inspired by Simone Davies, the author of “The Montessori Toddler” and “The Montessori Baby” who hosts parent and child classes in Amsterdam. Simone Davies inspires others so joyously and shares so generously. I am inspired by her mission to share the joys of Montessori one family at a time and her ideas and inspirations have influenced me in my pursuit of starting my own "Montessori Together" playgroup. So very grateful for her, Thank you, Simone!

Above all, I am deeply grateful for my ever supportive husband Joel, who believes in me more than I do myself, and has always nudged me to use my passion for Montessori to help other parents.

I welcome you with deep joy on a Montessori journey with me, with your child, and with the families you will meet in our shared community,
