Meet Our Staff

(More staff will be featured next week.)

Amy Beth Williford

Children's House Assistant

After a decade of working side by side with her husband at their picture frame shop, Amy wanted to return to her love of working with children. With years of experience nannying and working with young adults with disabilities, the classroom seemed like the perfect setting for her next chapter. Amy graduated with her BA from the Rhode Island School of Design and continues her love of art through painting, drawing, gardening, baking and knitting. Her favorite artists are... you guessed it, children!

Suzanne Jacobs

Lower Elementary Assistant

Suzanne Jacobs is excited to join The Montessori School family as the Lower Elementary Assistant. Previously, she taught elementary school for 24 years. She is married and has 3 sons who helped her to become a huge Philadelphia sports fan of the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers. In her spare time, she enjoys skiing, golfing, hiking and fishing.
