Before becoming a teacher, Wendy worked in the field of graphic design. While raising her children, she realized that design and Montessori education dovetailed perfectly, combining intentional materials in a planned environment. This led her to seek her Montessori certification. In 2006 Wendy and Susie Lute founded McGuffey’s Preschool Playground program and launched the Primary program together in 2011. Wendy began teaching in the Lower Elementary classroom in 2017. In addition to her Montessori training, Wendy is a certified Orton-Gillingham instructor.
Wendy has three children who attended McGuffey and a very understanding husband. She enjoys designing Montessori materials, hanging out with family and friends, and puttering around her farm.
