Meet Our Family
Mrs. Sunita Owner/Director/Primary Lead Teacher
Mrs. Sunita brings more than 15 years of childcare experience from the Austin market encompassing roles as an Owner, Director, and Lead Teacher from some of the most reputable and successful Montessori schools in Austin. Prior to entering the childcare industry, she first received a Bachelor of Science in Corporate Communications from The University of Texas at Austin, which was followed by obtaining an AMS Montessori certification in Primary education from the Montessori Teacher Education Institute in Houston. In 2016, Mrs. Sunita also obtained a Child Development Associates certification from the Council for Professional Recognition. Her husband, Anu, is also a graduate from the University of Texas, but his roots began in Bryan/College Station as he is a proud graduate of A&M Consolidated High School, and his family has resided in B/CS for more than 25 years. In 2012, they became the proud parents of their son, Syen, and in 2015, they welcomed their daughter Iyla. The privilege of becoming parents only heightened their passion for caring for and developing children and incorporating the Montessori method. Mrs. Sunita's interest for the Montessori education first peaked in 2007 after meeting Ms. Lydia Cumings, the previous and proud owner of The Montessori Schoolhouse here in BCS. Ms. Lydia had taught and nurtured many of their family friends in this town and fostered an environment based on intimacy, education, and collaboration. Inspired by this notion and coupled with her own experiences in the Austin market, Mrs. Sunita and her husband are proud to be the owners of The Family Montessori of BCS. "With an excitement for teaching and a love for children, I enjoy guiding children through their daily academic journey. I truly believe children are brilliant, curious little sponges, who can soak up so much information." "Working in the Montessori classroom has taught me that lessons should be interesting and thought-provoking; also, I believe that education can be stress-free if children are given love, patience, and support. Therefore, I strive to make my teaching as engaging and fun as possible to captivate and encourage children. If children are happy and having a good time learning, their success in the academic realm will come naturally."
Mrs. Aryana
Administrator/Primary Teacher
Mrs. Ary is originally from Fort Collins, Colorado. Mrs. Ary’s background and childhood instilled a passion in her for at-risk youth as well as helping children and adults with disabilities. Following that passion, she became a first-generation student at the University of New Mexico where she received her Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Family Child Studies. Over the years, Mrs. Ary has worked as a nanny, a church volunteer, and lead various service organizations including a program abroad in Guatemala. She has worked mainly with adults and children with developmental and physical disabilities whether it be volunteer work or as a Behavioral Therapist. While she loved and enjoyed that field, she decided to follow her passion for teaching. During her time in Albuquerque, New Mexico- Mrs. Ary was introduced to the Montessori philosophy. She fell in love with the practice of respecting and nurturing children’s natural desires to learn and explore. When Mrs. Ary and her husband moved to Texas in 2021, she began looking for a school to work at that would feel like family! She has found exactly that with The Family Montessori and is excited to learn more about Montessori. She will be working towards obtaining her Montessori Certification in 2023. “My goal in life is to meet people where they are at. I aim to be a safe place for kids and adults from all different walks of life. Teaching allows me to do just that and have fun at the same time! Maya Angelou said, ‘People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’.”
