Ms. Lesley

Head Teacher 

After moving to Visalia in 2007, Lesley took an assistant teaching position at a place to grow Montessori in 2008 and has worked with both the Primary and Toddler classes. During this time she found her passion and love for the toddlers. Lesley received her North American Montessori Center certificate for infant/toddlers in 2014 and became the lead teacher in the Willow classroom in 2015. Lesley’s youngest child attended a place to grow Montessori and Greenhouse Montessori School. 

Lesley has a passion for introducing the Montessori Method to her young toddlers. She loves preparing a hands-on environment and enjoys watching her toddlers evolve into preschoolers. It brightens her day when her former students come to visit her.
