About Rebecca

Hi! My name is Rebecca, owner and lead teacher of Whiting Woods Montessori, a small home-based Montessori preschool in Glendale, CA serving children ages 18 months-6 years. I began working with children at 12 years old caring for my neighbor's infant son, which led to years of babysitting, nannying, tutoring, and eventually teaching at a Montessori school at 17. I became a mother at 22 and opened Whiting Woods Montessori at 24. I hold a Certificate in Early Childhood Education from UCLA and Montessori training for ages 0-3 and 3-6. Families should know I truly care about creating a warm, safe, and respectful environment where children feel valued and supported. In my spare time, I enjoy homeschooling my children, traveling, hiking, reading, and spending time in nature.
