Cristina Nacey, Founder & Director

Cristina is the dedicated owner and lead guide at Grace Montessori School, bringing over 10 years of experience in preschool and childcare settings to her role. Throughout her career, she has embraced a variety of responsibilities, including administration, co-teaching, and assisting, which have provided her with a well-rounded understanding of early childhood education.

Cristina’s passion for Montessori education began while working as an assistant in a Montessori classroom, where she discovered the profound impact of the method on young minds. She went on to earn her American Montessori Society (AMS) credential through June Shelton School in Dallas, Texas, solidifying her commitment to the Montessori philosophy.

Eager to continue her own learning, Cristina takes part in various Montessori workshops and courses to continue to serve children and families in the best way possible. Her dedication to professional growth reflects her deep belief in providing the best possible learning environment for the children she serves.

When she’s not working or studying, Cristina enjoys spending quality time with her family exploring local farmers markets or diving into a great book. Her love for learning, both personally and professionally, drives her mission to inspire children and families through the Montessori approach.
