We enjoy life with children
Preschool
I fell in love with Montessori back in university, during which I assisted in a preschool for four years. Even after ten years of teaching in Montessori schools at home in the USA and in Thailand, I still love how it develops independence, creativity and a life-long love of learning.
I enjoy the happy faces of children when their tummies are full or when they taste something new. I love baking goodies with them, putting them to sleep with fairy tales and thinking up exercises during afternoon clubs.
I am fulfilled by helping people discover and develop their own nature, strength and gifts.
Elementary school
I taught little children as well as adults in the past and Grades 1 - 3 at Willowtrees are the best! They go headfirst into everything, wonderfully curious and honest. I enjoy being there as their independence, awareness of themselves and their gifts blossom.
I studied maths and Montessori helped me discover how beautiful, colourful and playful it can be. I also enjoy the German language and adventures in nature thanks to my two sons.
My driving force is the constant search for the courage to grow and to overcome obstacles, the courage to reach for your dreams. And I try to pass that on not only in Czech Language and Social Sciences, but through sports and mental fitness as well.
My passion has always been nature, and I love spending time in the wilderness. I try to pass on how we can live in harmony with it and everything is interconnected. I also see it in chemistry, food, strengthening our bodies and in Thai boxing.
I love being the invisible eyes and hands in the background, giving things a framework, order and beauty. I am overjoyed with every encounter with parents or neighbours and with the development of our school garden.
Founders
During my middle life crisis, I got a school instead of a motorcycle. All my life I've been working in the virtual IT world, but this is reality that is of profound importance.
I am pleased to see us all grow. And I am moved by and truly enjoy being with adolescents, some of whom I have known since preschool. And I am amazed at how far they have come and how they shine more and more with their inner flame.
