Elementary Teacher Leader

​

As a child, Linds attended the first public Montessori elementary school in the United States. This educational approach inspired a love of learning, nature, community and of the Montessori method itself. After four years of teaching in traditional education classrooms, Linds got their Masters in Montessori from Xavier University in Cincinnati, as well as their Ohio state teaching license and 6-9 Montessori credential. Linds graduated from the AMS Emerging Leaders Fellowship, giving them the opportunity to learn and collaborate with other Montessori educators around the country. Linds brings 12 years of Montessori teaching experience to the Linden Tree team and is thrilled about the opportunity to help bring tuition free quality Montessori education to Columbus. 

Operations Manager

​

Christy joins RMCS with a big heart for caregivers, children, and community. She’s worn many hats in education from classroom teacher to human resources - all rooted in her deep love for helping others grow.

​

Her journey into Montessori began in North Carolina, where she witnessed children joyfully and peacefully engaged in their work. The environment was seamless and intentional. Each child’s needs and natural curiosities were met in a space curated for independence, exploration and collaboration. That moment sparked a lasting passion.

Christy is thrilled to be part of the RMCS family, where children and their families are truly seen, supported, and empowered.
