I did not know 13 years ago that I was applying for something more than just a job. I was applying for a job as well as... an extended family. In the 13 years of working for this company, that is what this company has become to me. My coworkers have lifted me up and helped me through the professional and personal hiccups that life has thrown at me. They have encouraged and helped me to further my professional education. They have helped me raise my littles as if they were their own. Everyone needs a village, and NTMC is mine.
I feel like NTMC embraces and encourages the uniqueness of every teacher. North Tacoma Montessori understands that everyone has their own strengths that we can use to help and support each other with.
I am enormously proud to say I work with some incredibly talented, caring, and passionate people.
