Joyce Moxley (founder and director) began her journey in education over 30 years ago. Joyce has two Masters of Education degrees (Elementary Education and Dyslexia Therapy) at Mississippi College. She also certified through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards as a Master Early Childhood Educator, and is a certified Academic Language Therapist.
After many years as a traditional public school teacher, Joyce had the opportunity to become a certified primary and Lower Elementary Montessori educator through the American Montessori Society. She traveled to New York to earn her Montessori credentials. In addition to conducting workshops and field consulting, Joyce has served as a consultant for Educational Sounds & Images.
Her passion is to provide a high quality educational atmosphere to help students develop their fullest potential and to discover the great joy of learning. Montessori education is a powerful pedagogy that is continuously validated by brain research. It is not a fast paced, fill your head to the brim kind of learning, but one in which the curriculum spirals, embracing the spirit of affirmation, confidence, and joy of learning beyond traditional curriculum.
