Brie (she, they) Executive Director and Head of School
Brie has a deep commitment to Montessori pedagogy and has spent over 20 years in Montessori Elementary and Early Childhood classrooms. They have a Masters in Elementary Education (K-8) and Montessori Elementary credentials, as well as a lifelong love of learning. Her approach is rooted in a strong belief in equity, inclusion, and social justice—ensuring that each learner is seen, valued, and empowered. They are committed to cultivating classroom values that uphold community, foster belonging, and support social-emotional learning. Brie is very excited to be joining the Puddletown community and to be so aligned with the mission and value system of the school. When not thinking about educational philosophy and child development, Brie likes to travel, be in or near water, hang out with her teenage kids and dog, read books, eat tasty food, or learn a new craft.
