Patricia Clark - Primary Lead
I've been teaching the Montessori Method since 1987 and received my Montessori certificate in 1997 through the Contemporary Montessori Method in Dallas also known as the Albanese Method. I'm a proud mother of three wonderful children all Montessori children, and proud a Grandmother of two grandsons.
Teaching children brings so much joy to my heart. I can't think of anything else I would do to replace my work with children. Being in the field is so rewarding and so much happiness comes out it. I enjoy many things in life. Being a Grandmother is on the top of my list. I enjoy going out with my friends, and long road trips with my cousins. I like Antique stores I look for vintage jewelry and hand bags.
