Lighthouse Montessori School

One of the greatest strengths of the school is the trained and qualified teachers who take a personal interest in their students and parents. Our teachers care about the whole person and see education as much more than simply the training of fine minds. These dedicated teachers form the foundation of a caring community in which children develop and learn to become responsible, loving human beings.

Mrs. Laurie Roth-Robinson, President and Director

Mrs. Roth-Robinson is our Elementary lead teacher as well as the instructor for our Montessori Teacher Training classes for adults. She founded our school and her incredible vision continues to fuel and shape it. Although her experience and training are impressive, it's her extraordinary love of children and her desire that they have a chance to learn in a way that promotes a lifelong love of learning that really sets her apart and lights our school. Mrs. Roth-Robinson feels that the biggest impact in a child's life, other than their family, is their school environment. She wants children to have a place to learn where they are nurtured and can develop their full potential; where they feel success, love, acceptance and freedom to speak. She has a deep desire to make a positive difference in the lives of children and that is why she devotes herself to our school.

Mrs. Roth-Robinson has taught in the classroom for over 30 years and has been involved in school administration for more than 27 years. She has a degree in early childhood education from Vancouver University and received her American Montessori Society 3-6 level certificate from Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center in Chicago, Illinois. She continued her education at the 6-9 level in Los Alamos, New Mexico and completed her 9-12 training in San Diego, California.

Mrs. Roth-Robinson has six children, four of whom attended Montessori schools, three having attended from age 3 until 6th grade. Her children are now grown and she is a grandma and a great-grandma.
