Teachers and Staff

Teachers at The Children’s House are role models. We listen attentively and think before we speak. We consciously teach our children to be kind and courteous to one another and to treat each other and adults with respect. The child receives specifically directed encouragement rather than blanket praise — this feels more genuine to the child and fosters self-motivation and positive self-regard.

 

Debbie Richardson // Founder, Director, Teacher

Debbie received her Licentiate in Speech and Drama from Trinity College of Music, London. She obtained her Montessori Primary Diploma, (birth to 6 years) and Montessori Elementary Diploma, (6-9 years) at the London Montessori Center. Debbie has been teaching for over 18 years.

"At intervals, I have left preschool to teach elementary grades for a couple of years at a time, but I am always drawn back to the 3-6 year period. They are truly magical years; it is a time when the child's basic character and intelligence are being formed and I get to witness miracles of that evolution on a daily basis. It is a wonderous experience."
