Mrs. Wildhaber was our former director/teacher at our Altadena site that was lost in the Eaton Fire. She has worked in the primary classrooms at both the Monterey Park and Altadena schools, as well as before and after school daycare.
In addition to completing her required child development courses, she has earned an AA in Social Sciences from PCC and a BA from Pacific Oaks College in Human Development with a focus on Early Childhood Education. Althea graduated from The Montessori Institute of San Diego with her AMI Primary Teacher's Diploma. Althea graduated from Montessori Northwest in the summer of 2024 after completing the AMI Elementary Teacher Education Program.
Althea describes her experience this way:
"I love that the Montessori Method fosters independence and leadership skills through a mixed age environment. What makes Meher Montessori such a special place is the diversity and feeling of community the students, parents, and staff have developed over the years."
