Administrator

Melanie Braun joined the CMMS team in December 2022 with 11 years of experience working in childcare as both a teacher and an administrator. She holds an Associates and Bachelors degree, as well as her 90 Hour Early Childhood Certification, and 45 Hour Preschool Curriculum Certification. Melanie loves watching students learn and grow into their personalities and appreciates exploring the world through a student’s eyes. She believes that each child is unique and has their own way of learning and developing, and she loves to be a support as they become their own brilliant person. “Montessori education helps children learn how to explore their curiosity and independence both at school and at home. It is extremely important that children learn in a calm, loving environment and I find that within a Montessori classroom they are able to thrive.”
