Director Bio
Northern Star Montessori History
In 2020, Miss Katrina ran a mixed-grade Montessori “pod” classroom for a group of young students during the pandemic in a quaint and cozy classroom in Truckee, CA. It was a great success and inspired the continuation and open enrollment of a Montessori school for our community in North West Reno. Northern Star Montessori School is a primary Preschool located on Mae Anne Ave. in North West Reno, NV. We offer part time and full time schedule options for children 2 and a half through kindergarten. We have been open since January 2022.
