What people are saying…
“I liken my Early Childhood Montessori training with Christine Lowry to a metamorphic awakening. After my training, I feel it is important for me to present all lessons to students with the preciseness and beauty that Christine modeled for me. Christine’s impeccable and methodical presentations caused the material and concepts to come alive with great beauty. Thank you, Christine for your exemplary work.”
— Danielle Taylor, Detroit Public Schools Community District
“Working with Christine has been invaluable in helping me to observe and understand the wide range of behaviors I see in my students. I no longer look for what I used to think of as “normal” or “usual” behavior, but I now accept and try to accommodate the different personalities and developmental stages among my students. Her insight into sensory processing issues has provided me with a framework to understand why children do what they do.”
