Letter from Head of School

Dear Families,

I am honored to introduce myself. My name is Bella Shaulova, and I have the privilege of both teaching and leading at Williamsburg Montessori. My greatest joy as an educator and leader is watching each individual—child or adult—move closer to their fullest potential in their own unique way. It is a privilege to witness our students blossom, discovering their passions, building confidence, and approaching the world with curiosity and compassion.

At Williamsburg Montessori, we believe that education is not just about preparing for the future but nurturing a lifelong love of learning. Our mission is to guide each child toward self-discovery, fostering independence and a deep sense of potential in an environment that is both safe and inspiring.

Rooted in Montessori principles, we respect each child as an individual. I have seen firsthand the profound impact of this approach—allowing children to learn at their own pace, driven by curiosity. This empowers them to take ownership of their education, building the skills, confidence, and resilience they need for life.

Our commitment extends beyond the classroom. At Williamsburg Montessori, we foster a close-knit community where every child, teacher, and family feels valued and supported. A strong sense of belonging is key to growth, and we pride ourselves on creating a space where kindness, respect, and collaboration flourish. It is through this collective spirit that every child thrives.

Thank you for considering Williamsburg Montessori as the place for your child’s educational journey. We look forward to being part of your family’s path and supporting your child’s growth in an environment where they are valued and empowered. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to learn more about how our Montessori approach can support your child.


Warmly,
Bella Shaulova
