Lisa Moore Elementary 1 Lead Teacher My introduction to Montessori was through my own kids 20 years ago. Since then I have become state certified and Montessori trained. I have been with Villa for about 18 years and this is my eighth year as a lead teacher in this classroom. My favorite thing about teaching is watching the kids' faces when they grasp something they have been struggling with for a while. The amazement in their eyes light up the world. My favorite thing about teaching at Villa is the sense of community. I love being a member of the Villa Family.
