My name is Michele Uecker, and I am the owner and teacher of My Own Montessori. To say that I feel blessed to have this opportunity is an understatement. I began my career in Montessori education after completing formal Montessori training at the College of St. Catherine in 2000. Today, my passion continues to grow as I continue this journey with you.
I live in Otsego, with my 3 children, along with our dog, Cooper and our cat, Libby. All of my children attended Montessori preschool and elementary school, and each have found their own love for Montessori. This Mama couldn't be more proud! I will be forever grateful for the way Montessori continues to impact their lives - mind, body, and spirit. I look forward to continuing the high level of teaching and nurturing here at My Own Montessori.
Ms. Michele has been such a blessing in our ives. The experiences she has provided for our daughter these past few years have been nothing less than absolutely magical. So invaluable. Her impact on our daughter will not only be something she takes with her for the rest of her life, but it has also touched us as parents. We will forever remember fondly these last few years and the way she touched our lives. We shall "follow the child."

Ms. Michele was a wonderful teacher for our son, Callum. Michele was always compassionate to our 'sensitive
one's," needs, and found the perfect balance between giving him space to explore and structuring his time for successful learning.
You would be hard-pressed to find a better Montessorian than Michele, and finding her in Elk River is a privilege that Minnesotans should most definitely utilize. Children flock to Michele and learn so much from her that they are very well prepared for elementary.

My son had the wonderful joy of having Ms. Michele as his preschool teacher from the age of almost three through kindergarten. She is kind, patient, caring and truly loves the children she works with. My son thrived in some areas (language) and struggled in others (behavior). Ms. Michele was committed to his success through all of this - pushing him in his areas of strength and encouraging him with grace and kindness in his challenges.
The classroom atmosphere was a fantastic mix of academics and wonder with learning happening often without the children realizing it. My son would come home most days excited to tell me some tale of what he encountered that day, from the atmospheres of planets to the phalanges of his hand. Ms. Michele's years of experience in the Montessori world really shine in all she does. Her understanding of children and their needs is evident as she interacts with her students and helps them to express their strengths and weaknesses, joys and concerns.
I would absolutely recommend Ms. Michele to anyone searching for a preschool class.
Sincerely, Allie Brandon (and Elias)
