Josh is a 12 year veteran Montessori elementary teacher who has worked in both public and private Montessori schools.  He has also worked for 8 years helping others become Montessori teachers at Xavier University and most recently with the American Montessori Society.  Josh and his wife have three daughters, all of whom have grown up, “Montessori.”  One of Josh’s first jobs was as a summer camp counselor.  Throughout his teaching career he has often wondered how to have school feel more like summer camp.  He is excited to pursue his love of nature and Montessori in this new endeavor.

Jason is an avid outdoorsman and dedicated Montessori  educator. He began his calling at Xavier Montessori where he also earned his certification in Elementary I and II.  Jason was born and raised in Cincinnati and is now raising his two sons here as well. When not in the classroom, Jason enjoys hiking with his family and friends all around Ohio and beyond, collecting and reading books, and good coffee. Founding Azalea Montessori Elementary has meant combining his love of nature with his passion for Montessori education. Observing the way children and nature interact has been an inspiring experience.
