Our faculty at Bay Sky Montessori, is a team composed of committed, talented, and caring teachers, who provide a joyful and positive class environment for guiding each child's natural curiosity and desire to grow and develop individually. Teachers focus on bringing out each child's creativity and leadership abilities through self-confidence, promoting their own self-discipline, and earning self-respect and independence. We believe this will prepare them for any future challenging academic environment as well as reaching their potential in mastering practical, social, and everyday life skills.

 

Bay Sky Montessori provides ongoing early childhood development programs and training for its staff to continue in their personal growth and updating their skills as a teaching professional. This also keeps our staff members qualified to render the utmost quality of education for the child. With BSM's combined years of experience and ongoing training, our team collaboration and synergy help keep the teacher-student dynamic at the highest level and provide the best quality for your child and family.

B.A Education I  Sun Yat-sen University

AMI Montessori 3-6 diploma

As a HSK(Chinese Proficiency Test) certified Mandarin trainer, she has been teaching Mandarin as a second language for over ten years in her home country Macau. She liked to incorporate activities, culture and music to the language teaching and enjoyed the interaction with students. 

She took the Montessori AMI training 3 to 6 at the Montessori Institute of San Diego. Ever since then her perception about education has been transformed, and she continues to be amazed by the beauty and efficacy of this profound approach to child education. The training not only equipped her with many presentations, it has also given her a new perspective to see education as an essential support for life to blossom. It has helped her immensely to re-position herself as an assistant to the unfolding of a child’s life.

She is also an enthusiastic musician. She plays Guzheng (a traditional Chinese instrument) and guitar. For her, singing with children is just so beautiful and uplifting!
