Hello! I am Yukari, the founder of Metta Tree Montessori and a Montessori parent. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for an authentic Montessori program for infants/toddlers in my community.
-
I hold a Masters Degree (M.Ed) in Montessori Education from Loyola University in Maryland. I have two Montessori diplomas at the 0-3 years old and 3-6 years old levels from AMI (Association Montessori Internationale). I worked as a lead toddler teacher at a Montessori school before my own children were born.
-
As a mother of two children, I was not able to find satisfying Montessori infant and toddler programs in my area. I began designing my program after my first child was born.
-
I know how important it is to have a respectful and safe space for children to grow to meet their full potential. I want to provide that to other families in my community.
-
Some fun facts about me: I am originally from Japan. I enjoy swimming and training for an annual triathlon race.

Metta Tree Montessori was the best gift of 2022. My son was 1.5 year old and I was looking for a place where it would feel like home, with few children, where I would be closer to the teacher, with lots of nature and outdoor activities, and that allowed my son to develop his potentials and explore the world. I then found Metta Tree Montessori and it’s founder, Yukari, who is such a loving human being and passionate educator, who celebrates my little one’s every new learning. My son loves going there, meeting his friends, and exploring the carefully thought space with so much Montessori work, trees, birds, wiggleworms, garden, and playground. He is growing everyday more independent and self confident with everything he is learning at Metta. I’m so happy to be able to provide such a wonderful environment for my son to grow and couldn’t speak more highly about Metta, Yukari and her lovely family. Any parent looking for a great Montessori, home-style environment, here is an amazing place to bring your child.

A child’s brain undergoes an amazing period of development from birth to three. They produce more than a million neural connections each second. We understand that the first three years of life are a critical period in brain development.

Our goal is to support children to be independent, confident, and self-motivated. When they become older, we hope that they find meaning in the world.
