Erica Joy Sebastian-Jones

Hi, my name is Erica! I am from Australia. I am a university-trained early childhood educator who discovered the Montessori method after having my own child. I really love that in Montessori education each child is nurtured as a whole person, and is presented with hands-on learning opportunities according to his/her individual needs and stage of development. I love that every day is different in a Montessori classroom. I do this job because the early years are so important in a child’s life, and I want to foster curiosity and a love of learning in young children. It warms my heart seeing the joy children experience when they make discoveries as they play. In my spare time, I like to read, knit, sew, cook, travel, go for walks in nature and go long-boarding! “Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.” (Dr Montessori, The Discovery of the Child) I believe our work is very important, we don’t just educate children in preparation for school, but for life.
