Stevie Palenchar joined Charleston Montessori with a passion for supporting our youngest learners during one of the most important stages of development. She is currently completing her Montessori Infant & Toddler Guide credential through the Virginia Center for Montessori Studies (VCMS).
This summer, Stevie completed the intensive, in-person portion of her Montessori training in Richmond, Virginia. Immersed in Montessori philosophy and the infant and toddler curriculum, Stevie believes that even our youngest children are capable, independent individuals. She thoughtfully prepares an environment where toddlers can safely explore, make choices, care for themselves and their surroundings, and develop confidence through purposeful work.
Her calm, patient, and nurturing approach helps children build trust, establish routines, and experience the joy of learning each day.
Stevie will be certified by the end of this school year!
