Many years ago, when Catherine Pray-Bollman was just 4 years old, her teacher at the Xavier Lab School was Crystal Dahlmeier. Today, Catherine is a (6-9) teacher at The New School Montessori and Crystal volunteers in The New School’s preprimary program. (Crystal actually works with Catherine’s 4-year-old daughter in TNSM’s South Room).
It’s obvious that nothing has changed over the years as these 2 women continue to be just as passionate about Montessori education as they were back then!
