Dailybel Gonzalez, Director
Dailybel graduated from the Mt Hood Community Collage in 2021 with a Child Development Associate credential. In 2023, she realized her dream of complete her Infant and Toddler Credential as a Montessori Teacher. Her favorite thing about what she does is developing relationships with the children that she teaches and their families. She believes that small class size and the development of a strong community allow her and her team to really know each child as an individual and to provide a solid and supportive foundation in the early years.
Philosophy
At our school, we strive to create a safe and caring community of young explorers inspired by the Montessori philosophy. Our program is a place where children can learn through doing, invent through making, and solve problems by working together. We believe that when children are truly engaged with their environment, magic happens. Our team of experienced and innovative teachers do this by creating a space driven by the interests and ideas of the children who inhabit it.
About our program
At Barlow Montessori Education in Gresham, our devoted teachers nurture each child’s growth with a focus on independence and social skills. Our unique hands-on approach to learning encourages creativity and exploration. Specializing in child development, we provide a caring and enriching environment for young learners.
