I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Dani and the incredible impact she has had on my children and our family. From the moment you meet her, you can feel her warmth, joy, and genuine love for teaching—it’s something truly special. I felt instantly at ease knowing my children were in her care. She creates an environment that is not only filled with love and encouragement but also challenges children to grow, problem-solve, and develop confidence in themselves. Her classroom isn’t just a place for academics, it’s a place where my children have felt safe, valued, and excited to explore the world around them. The way she connects with her students is nothing short of magical, and it’s clear that they adore her just as much as she adores them. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I wholeheartedly encourage any family looking for a nurturing, enriching, and inspiring educational experience to choose Soundside Montessori.

We met Dani 4 years ago when our daughter started Montessori, and she has been her teacher ever since. The bond that Dani and our daughter share is a blessing, and she has become like a member of our family now.
There are many things that make Dani an incredibly special person. But where she shines most brilliantly is when she is with the children. She fills the room with her warmth and love, and the children are drawn to her like magnets. Dani leads an authentic, high-quality Montessori program that is infused with love, kindness, respect, and compassion and backed by many years of Montessori knowledge and experience. Our community will be better because of Dani’s passion for children and Montessori education.
