Whitney Falcon is our lead guide in the Young Children's Community.  She is certified by the American Montessori Society (AMS) for the birth to three years level.  Whitney's first introduction to Montessori came in 1991 when she accepted a position as an assistant at a school in Houston, TX.  After her initial experience, Whitney worked in a variety of different Montessori schools in various capacities to increase her knowledge and understanding of the Montessori philosophy..  In 2000, Whitney was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to receive her Montessori Teacher training at the Center for Montessori Teachers Education in New York, where she studied under Virginia Varga, who pioneered the first toddler Montessori program in the United States in 1964.

In 2003, Whitney moved to Austin with her husband John, their 2 children, and many pets.
