Mrs. Nhi Ly Cummings - Directress
I graduated from York University with a B.A. in Sociology. After taking a year off, I decided that with all the experiences I gained from working with young children, I wanted to pursue teaching. By chance, I discovered the Montessori Program at Sheridan College. As I learned more about the program, I was intrigued by this unique approach to education. I am glad to have studied the program as I have gained a greater amount of knowledge in educating children. I have been a teacher for more than a decade, and now a new mom. As a teacher, it is rewarding to see the students’ progress throughout the years. As a new mom, I am excited to see my son grow in the Montessori program. I look forward to another great year!
Mrs. Renee Stewart - Directress
I am a proud mother of two boys and have always had a love for young children. I graduated from the University of Windsor with a B.A. in Sociology. After graduating from university and working many years with the provincial government, I decided to follow my dream and become a teacher. In 2005, I joined the Early Childhood Montessori Program at Sheridan College. I did my placement at a Montessori school in Brampton, was hired after graduation and worked there for eight years. I am happy to be back at Northstar Montessori and look forward to another exciting year.
Ms. Geetha Visahan - Assistant
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Sri Lanka and discovered my passion for teaching young children. My journey led me to the Montessori program, where I was captivated by its unique approach to education. Completing my Early Childhood Education program at Mothercraft College deepened my understanding and love for teaching. With seven years of teaching experience, I find it incredibly rewarding to witness my students' growth and development and be part of their early years. I'm excited to bring my knowledge and enthusiasm to Northstar and look forward to contributing to a nurturing learning environment.
