Welcome to Armatage Montessori!
Hi! My name is Denise Clare. I have been teaching at Armatage since 2005. I started teaching in the Minneapolis School District in 1994. I have taught Kindergarten through 3rd grade in many schools in the district. I have taught all but two years in Montessori schools.
I love the Montessori Philosophy and teaching kids to become independent learners. I enjoy teaching kids about the animal kingdom, geography, and how to take care of our Earth.
About me...
I grew up in Hutchinson, Kansas. I graduated from Kansas State University with a BA in Elementary Education. I received my Montessori Certification from St. Catherines in Minneapolis. I received my Masters in Experiential Education from Minnesota State University.
