~𝐌𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬~
I hold both an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education (Austrian State Preschool Teacher Certificate) and a Montessori Teaching Certificate (Montessori Europe Certified.) I attended the University of Graz, Austria and Padua, Italy and received my Bachelor's Degree in Romance Studies (Italian/Spanish).

~𝐌𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞~
Until 2020 I have been working as a lead teacher in a New Jersey Montessori school with children from ages two to five. Before teaching in the US, I did my training and worked as a preschool teacher in my native Austria. I have been teaching on outschool for two years now! I am still as excited and passionate about teaching my young learners as I have been on the first day, creating new classes and courses based on my students' interests as I go.

-As of fall 2022 I am bringing my music classes to the in-person classroom by teaching young learners in preschools and daycares in my area.

-In April 2023 I published my first children's book. 
"Let's move like the animals in the forest" is all about engaging in the joys of creative movement!

- On my youtube channel "Music, Movement & Montessori with Ms. Mary-Lou" you can find fun and educational music class videos. Have a glimpse into my musical world!

~𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬~
I am a certified Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) and have many hours (over 4 years) of teaching Yoga to young children in a preschool/kindergarten setting. Yoga may help children to regulate their emotions, manage their stress and make them resilient.

~𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬~
I love to play the guitar and studied classical guitar for almost a decade. One of my favorite activities is to use music and song to encourage my students to express themselves. It's been my experience that music lifts the children's spirits and gets them in the right mood for learning and exploring! 

~𝐌𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲~
I encourage creativity through art and music: art helps children express their views of the world, regulate their emotions and encourages divergent thinking. Music and singing has the ability to strengthen the connection between the body and brain to work together as a team. 

I enjoy deepening both mine and the children's knowledge regarding topics that interest and touch them (an approach according to Reggio Emilia).

I understand myself as a guide by being observant, active, engaging and self-reflective. 

I create a prepared environment where children are given opportunities to explore, collaborate and express their ideas.

~𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥~
I am a native of Austria so you might notice a slight accent. I can hardly ski but I do jodel from time to time! I offer all of my classes in german too!
I live in New Jersey and love to explore the Garden States beaches and parks. The outdoor trips certainly inspire my classes.


I offer the following courses on outschool:
