Chantal began her Montessori journey in 1992, a year after having completed school in South Africa. She worked for a year as a Montessori assistant before backpacking through Europe and returning to South Africa to complete a Montessori Diploma. She worked in a Montessori school in South Africa for 2 years then moved to Ireland where she continued to work in the Montessori system until her first child was born. In 2006 she moved to Australia and her daughters completed their schooling at Beehive. Rejoining the workforce in administration, she realised her true passion lay in interacting with children and in 2013 she completed a Certificate III in Education Support. She is truly delighted to work in La Casa D’Oro.
