About Mia

It was my own return to school nine years ago that inspired me to become a teacher. The self-designed curriculum at Goddard College allowed me to ask and find the answers to my own questions: a rare gift in the world of education, and it is this gift that I now strive to share with young children. Whether 4 years old or 40, there is tremendous power and joy in being allowed to learn what we need to learn.

​As an educator, I am committed to meeting children where they are. As natural learners, children are already intuitively working on what they need for their own growth and wellbeing. My role is to facilitate this learning by providing a rich, stimulating environment – whether woods, city or workshop; carefully timed questions and challenges to deepen inquiry; tools and materials, and above all, the love and friendship that are the basis of all learning.
