Heather Rochat
Afternoon Enrichment Assistant
"I love the way the older children assist the younger children in the Montessori classroom. To learn that sense of helping and sharing of knowledge early on is a wonderful gift. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to be surrounded by the joy of children every day—specifically here at MSGH, where I am among such dedicated and inspiring staff."
