Meet our School Leaders!
Hello! My name is Sara Alovera and I am the School Leader at Woodpark Montessori in Savage. I am a mother of two (daughter, Riley & son, Jackson) who enjoys gardening, fishing, traveling, and educating. After having my two children, I stumbled upon the Montessori philosophy. It didn't take long for me to leave my career in elementary education to be a Montessori educator. The independence it promotes accompanied by unlimited sensorial learning experiences is what makes it so different from traditional learning. Here at Woodpark Montessori, we have built a family. We don't think of them as just "your" children, but "our" children, as well. Every day I am excited to spread my love for Montessori with my Woodpark families.
Miss Misty started at Woodpark when she was just 16 years old in 1995. Not only is she our director, but she is also our lead curriculum coordinator.
Miss Misty has a very unique approach to teaching. One of her favorite activities to do with our students is go on nature walks. Pointing out all the different kinds of birds and trees is one of the many hands on activities she does.
