Full Circle…
After the birth of her daughter and touring various schools in Placer County for her daughter to attend, it was no surprise that Just Do It Montessori was born. Ashly wanted to create the perfect learning environment for her daughter and all children in the community. Ashly prides her school on safety, love and acceptance, all while providing the best education possible. Ashly holds an American Montessori Credential and has taught in traditional schools prior to discovering her love and passion for Montessori education.
