Focus on Leadership
Cheryll Ruszat grew up with a very clear mission - to teach - and she has been doing just that for more than 4 decades. Her passion? Montessori education! Cheryll found Montessori education for her own two children when they were preschoolers and, as she says, "My children grew up but I stayed behind!"

Teacher Education
