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.
