Ms. Parastoo Safavimehr
Director
Ms. Parastoo Safavimehr joined our CMMS-Rockville team as a Montessori Teacher in 2020, we are thrilled to have her now as the Director of our Gaithersburg location. Originally from Iran, Parastoo has been teaching for over 28 years, with over 22 of those years spent in a Montessori environment. In addition to her Child Care Administration certificate, she holds a Bachelor’s degree and a Montessori Early Childhood certification from the Montgomery Montessori Institute, and is working towards her Master’s Degree in Education from The University of Maryland. Originally, Parastoo was interested in the field of education because of the important role educators play in nurturing cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth in children’s lives. “I was drawn to Montessori education because of its focus on independent learning and hands-on experience which fosters a child’s natural curiosity.” Parastoo is passionate about creating an engaging learning environment for all children.Trusted Montessori Preschool & Daycare
