Country Montessori was founded by Lucy Lukason, in 1986, to offer parents a high-quality preschool and kindergarten for their children. In April 2020, my husband and I purchased the school from Lucy. As a young child, there were two things I aspired to be: a mother and a teacher. I am a mother of two young girls and have been a teacher in many capacities over the years: preschool, 1st grade, 2nd grade and special education through fourth grade.
My career opportunities have allowed me to teach in a variety of school districts, each giving me a new perspective on education and a vast array of knowledge to prepare me for this new role. My experiences in public school have also taught me that I do not fit into the mold shaped by the state of Massachusetts for public school educators.
I believe children learn and grow at their own pace and in their own way and that standardized testing isn’t the “end-all-be-all.” “One-size-fits-all” doesn’t apply to education. Understanding that students need strong foundational skills to build upon in order to be successful, in my belief, is the most important piece of my educational philosophy. Therefore, providing your child/children with these skills and preparing them for whatever educational journey they may embark on is my ultimate goal.
Feeling comfortable and confident in the educators who are teaching your child on a daily basis allows you peace of mind. While my credentials, and teaching experiences are strong and most fit for the director position, it is my passion, ambition, love of learning and genuine interest in the success of each child that will make Country Montessori an exceptional experience for your family.
“We are very pleased with the values of respect and kindness all of the teachers help instill in our daughter whether in beforecare, the classroom during the school day, or aftercare. They foster and support creating a wonderful sense of curiosity and learning. Every day she is excited to share something new with us. We cannot be happier with our choice of having her attend Country Montessori.”
“We sent both of our children to Montessori from the age of 2.9 until their last year of pre-k. My kids grew so much from their time at Montessori. The teachers and Laura are all amazing. They take their time with each child and recognize their strengths and weaknesses. I’m so happy for the friendships and social skills my kids have learned and their immense developmental skills they gained!!”
“The school, teachers and director are fantastic! Everyone is very attentive to the children and the Montessori curriculum allows the kids to explore and grow at their own pace. The school has gone above and beyond to communicate clearly everything from overall policies to daily updates. We see pictures of the kids through the day on an interactive app and get updates and direct communication from the teachers as well.”
“Since starting at this preschool, my son has become more confident, independent, and curious. He loves going to school and has formed close bonds with his teachers and classmates. I appreciate the emphasis on respect for others and the environment, which is evident in everything from the way the classrooms are set up to the activities the children engage in. I'm consistently impressed.”
“Jonah joined Country Montessori as his first preschool experience as a very shy and scared 3 year old. We were so worried as to how he would adjust and to how the school would feel about him. Not only did he absolutely thrive, his speech and social skills all improved tremendously throughout the year. He has learned in leaps and bounds and we couldn’t be any happier to have him be a part of Montessori for next year!”
