The Montessori Creative Learning School
was begun by Pang C. Gentry, a career computer program analyst who,
several years ago, decided to redirect her life
and to devote all of her time to the one thing she really loved, the
care, nurturing, and teaching of pre-school children
"I have wanted be a Montessori teacher
since my own two children, now grown, attended a Montessori school.
The academic success they have enjoyed was grounded in their early
years and has convinced me of the effectiveness of a Montessori
education."
"I love teaching children. I
believe teaching at the primary level is a critical responsibility
and an especially rewarding one, as primary education is the
foundation of one's life." -- Pang C. Gentry.
In
addition to her BBA degree from Oglethorpe University in computer science and business,
with a minor in Psychology, Mrs. Gentry has completed
the extensive training and certification requirements of the
Association Montessori Internationale, and has been teaching since
1997. She has also assembled a
collection of professionally crafted and certified Montessori materials
(Nienhuis) to use in teaching children.
Many of her students have gone on to be
admitted to some of Atlanta's finest private and Christian schools
and are pursuing excellence in all subject areas in their academic careers .
Mrs. Gentry enjoys reading and listening to
classical music, especially Frederic Chopin, and appreciates the
Impressionist painters, especially Claude Monet. She also plays the Kayakum, an Asian
classical instrument. When she has the opportunity, she enjoys
hiking, mountain climbing, and going on family picnics. In addition
to directing the Montessori Creative Learning School, Mrs. Gentry is
a member of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and sings in the
choir and in the Atlanta Passion Play.
