Hear From Our Team

Here is what our team has to say about working here at The Montessori Children’s Center:

Andrea Angeles

Head Teacher, Toddler Sky Room

“I love to work at MCC because it is a place where they believe in me more than I believe in myself. They encourage me every day to achieve my goals and dreams. Working with toddler children has changed my life for the better, by focusing on the whole child and supporting them to become capable and fulfilled individuals who can make a positive contribution to the world around them.

Being at MCC gives me a purpose in life!”

Dr. Terri-Lyn Castillo

Head Teacher, Infant Cove Room

“When I was looking to change schools and environments I wanted to stay within the Montessori community and wanted to continue my journey with infants. Little did I know when I came across MCC, how much my life would change, for the better by working here. When you join MCC you aren’t just getting a job, you are gaining a family and building amazing partnerships that help you grow and learn on not just a professional level through all the academic opportunities but as a person. Working at MCC going on five years now, I have had opportunities I never thought I would have and amazing bonding experiences not many people have chance to have with their fellow teachers and administrators. We have had retreats that lead us to zip lining, rock wall climbing and karaoke night, to crafting together, laughing over meals. Working at MCC never truly feels like work. If you are interested in a peaceful, caring, supportive, nurturing environment that not only serves and cares for the amazing families of Westchester but also the staff then MCC is where you would want to be. I recommend you joining our community to begin your journey, we are lots of fun I promise.”

Pat Garba

Assistant Teacher, Early Childhood Mountain Room

“I started my work in MCC as a new intern with very little knowledge of the Montessori philosophy. I was very naive but that was not for too long because of the willingness of other seasoned Montessorians in the team who were more than willing to share with me from their wealth of experience and professionalism. I greatly enjoy the privilege of having professional developments at the expense of the management. This has greatly helped me to broaden my knowledge of the Montessori philosophy. I love the beauty, ambience and serenity of the environment I work in. I long to come to work every morning because I am surrounded by warm and affectionate people who are generous with their smiles and sincere compliments. My director is a woman whose heart flows with the milk of human kindness. It’s such an invaluable experience working with children in their innocence. Children who shower me with lots of love and appreciation. I receive countless hugs from them. I am really grateful to be part of the MCC team.”

Kyra Lynch

Head Teacher, Early Childhood Mountain Room

“What I think about working at MCC. I think about impact. I love that I have the opportunity to do this very special, wonderful work. I take my position as a Montessori guide seriously and take pleasure in seeing my students reach their milestones. Daily, I am awed by their love of learning and curiosity about life. I feel fulfilled and uplifted by the love I receive from them each day. The icing on the cake for me is I get a chance to come to work in a beautiful, clean, and organized environment and work alongside a group of awesome women that truly care, support one another. Not only that — working with a wonderful employer who is not only my boss but a great, positive, and supportive guide to her staff members. What more can I say, I love MCC!!”
