Arielle joined our faculty in August 2015 to teach early kindergarten and Kindergarten in the mornings and to co-teach kindergarten through 2nd grade in the afternoons. Her experience with Montessori teaching that she did before moving to Las Cruces shows brightly in her classroom. Added to her expertise is that of a background in science, in wildlife biology. With the growth of our EK-K program, she now focuses on these two classes as a full-time teacher for the last two years.
