Meet The Staff

Head of School

Carrie Martin

I have worked in the education field for over 20 years. My degree is in Early Childhood
Education, and I also hold a NAMC Montessori certificate. I truly have a passion for Montessori
as an educator in the field. I have three boys of my own that went to a Montessori school outside
of Chicago. It was there that I was introduced to Montessori. I’m truly an advocate for
Montessori because of how well it aligns with how a student learns. I am also on the Chamber of
Commerce in Fairborn and a member of the Rotary Club.
