Allie Brody

Co Lead Directress

Allie Brody joined Magnolia in the summer of 2019. She loves working with the Magnolia family and feels very fortunate to be working as an Assistant Directress in the Early Childhood Room, where she has the opportunity to further her knowledge of Montessori principles and work with the amazing children here every day.

Allie has many years of experience as a childcare professional and more recently as an environmental educator teaching a seed-to-plate gardening program. She is drawn to any educational model that emphasizes self-led and hands-on activities, and here at Magnolia she can see these principles applied consistently throughout the course of a day. Allie is endlessly amazed by how inquisitive and independent children are when able to learn and grow within the freedom of the prepared environment. 

Here, such simple tasks as pouring their own water, drinking from open cups, and helping to clean up their own spills, teach children from the youngest age that they are capable and also accountable for their actions. Allie looks forward to continuing to learn about early childhood development within the Montessori framework, and applying this knowledge to providing the best possible learning and playing experience for your child.
