Montessori Miss Emily is an AMS-credentialed Montessori educator, preschool director, and content creator focused on making Montessori education accessible beyond private school walls. She directs Pathways Early Learning Center, a non profit, tuition free Montessori preschool serving children experiencing homelessness. Under her leadership, Pathways earned Birmingham’s first five star rating from the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education.\
Online, Emily shares practical, real world Montessori guidance for parents and educators with a focus on Montessori at home, affordable materials, and developmentally appropriate learning. Her content emphasizes that Montessori does not require expensive classrooms or luxury materials. Thoughtful environments, respect for the child, and intentional design matter more than price tags. From Dollar Tree hacks to simple shelf setups, she helps families bring Montessori principles into everyday life.
Her work bridges authentic Montessori pedagogy with real family realities, showing that high quality early learning can be both grounded and attainable.
