Lead Teacher

Ms. Elsa Cortez

Hello I am Elsa Cortez. I have been teaching Montessori for over 19 years. I have been with Casa Dei Bambini for over 10 years. I have been the Lead Toddler Teacher.

I have AMS certification for Toddler.

When I became interested in education it allowed me the opportunity to explore and experiment with children. They invited me into their world with the joy of learning and showed much love for me as a teacher. I will continue to receive adequate training that will allow me to continue the Montessori Method for teaching.

Lead Teacher

Ms. Shailja Ginwala

My name is Shailja Ginwala, I am the lead toddler teacher at Casa Dei Bambini. I have been a Montessori school teacher since 2013. I enjoy this journey of working with kids to bring subtle but significant changes in their early development through Montessori methods – Developing Motor skills through hands on activities. I admire Montessori ideology and truly believe in “Every child is different and learns at its own pace”. As a toddler teacher, my goal is to make every child independent and I take pride when my children progress to the primary class and beyond.

Lead Teacher

Ms. Gulzar Saleem

I believe in Montessori philosophy where a child develops and learns at their own pace. A teacher serves as a guide without an interruption.

My goal is “The children are now working as if I didn’t exist”-Maria Montessori
