Hello! My name is Patty Brecount — the children call me Mrs. Brecount. I am pleased to be the assistant in Lower Elementary.
God definitely had a hand in helping me find my vocation when He led me to the Montessori Center of MN. In 1982, after a very intense, life-transforming year, I graduated from the MTCM and received my AMI Primary Diploma. I also audited the Catechesis training and found it to be a beautiful way to learn about my Catholic faith.
It has been my great honor and delight to spend my days in the Casa with children as a Lead Guide for 39 years. How truly wonderful to journey with children – they are our hope and joy for the future. Each day is an adventure -filled with possibility.
I have worked in four different Montessori schools over the years – most recently at Garden of Hope Montessori. My greatest blessing was to have all three of my daughters as students in my environment.
I find JOY in mentoring, tutoring (igniting a love for lifelong learning and reading in children is my passion), and helping others in any way I can. I am an avid reader and enjoy sharing conversations with others as we learn and grow together. I love being outdoors, playing games – especially with children – both indoors and out, connecting with family and friends, walks with my puppy, listening to music, learning sign language, gardening, cooking, and cross-stitching bookmarks.
My desire each day is to be the hands and feet of Jesus and share kindness with everyone I meet.
