Corinne Wilson, Director
Corinne (she/her) first started working with children when she was 12, acting as an assistant in community art classes. After college, a chance job opportunity at the Montessori School of Syracuse introduced her to the beautiful world of Montessori education. She moved back to Baltimore to gain Montessori AMI primary (3 - 6 year olds) training in 2012 - as well as a Masters in Early Childhood Education - and taught at that level for 2 years, before starting a pilot Montessori program at Bolton Hill Nursery for an additional 4 years. She was a Biology major in college and has always been drawn to nature; therefore, her approach is based in Montessori, with a heavy appreciation for open ended play and nature play.
