Ms. Kareen was first introduced to the Montessori method while visiting Laguna Beach, California, during her travels from Durban, South Africa. Captivated by the Montessori philosophy, she returned home inspired and pursued her Montessori Diploma through the College of Modern Montessori, IAPM. She went on to serve as a lead primary teacher and was a valued part of the Montessori teaching team for several years. 

Now in a part-time role, Ms. Kareen continues to support the school while dedicating more time to her most important role—being a mom to her teenage son and daughter. 

Kareen has a passion for plants and tends to more than 30 houseplants at home!  She also enjoys DIY projects, weightlifting, playing pickleball, spending time with her family, and cheering on her son at the beach as a competitive surfer.
