Faculty & Staff

Hello! I am Nathalie Holt, lead guide in the Tulip Toddler room. I was born and raised in Colombia, South America and my family migrated to the US when I was 7 years old. I am the mother of two wonderful Montessorians Gabriel (9) and Emma (4) who currently attend MASS. Throughout the beautiful journey of motherhood and many years of having my children in a Montessori environment, a deep passion for education was awakened and I fell in love with the Montessori approach. Wanting to make a bigger impact in my community, I decided to pursue a career as a Montessori teacher assistant in 2018. My rooted belief is that every child is to be respected, observed, included, considered, and is an important part of the community. This has led me to share my passion with others as a Lead Montessori toddler guide and I will finalize my AMS Montessori certification in the summer of 2022. I am a lover of motherhood, plants, animals, journaling, serving others, nature, camping, exercising, and creating. My goal is that each child in our community feels loved, respected, included, and safe. My main objective is to provide a nurturing, prepared environment where my Toddlers will be attracted to explore the classroom and materials to cultivate a natural desire to learn.
