About the Guide
Hello! My name is Betsy Erickson. I am a Casper native and live here with my husband and young children ages 4 and 1. I attended Montessori from the time I was 3 years old through the 6th grade and believe it has been an integral part of who I am today. I graduated from the Montessori Center of Minnesota with my Association of Montessori Internationale diploma in 2017. I completed my master's in education with an emphasis on Montessori in the spring of 2018. I have worked in Montessori environments for the last 9 years.
"There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest instrument, is being formed." Dr. Maria Montessori
