My name is Dara Knowles and I am the founder and lead teacher of Journeys Montessori. Born and raised in Ireland, I came to the US in 1985 and have loved working with children since then. In 1990 I went back to Ireland to do my Montessori training at St. Nicholas Montessori College. After, I returned to the US and opened Journeys Montessori Preschool in Sumner, Washington in 2002.
