Mary Colarullo

Mary has spent more than half of her life as a Montessorian. The philosophy has always rung true and she feels fortunate to have seen the fruition of the “three year cycle,” experienced the marvel of the Peaceful Classroom and the privilege to be loved unconditionally by the children in her care. Mary received her AMI 3-6 Credential in 1977 and spent 30 years in the classroom as a primary lead guide, mentoring interns through the years and serving as a guide and instructor for PHMA Teacher’s Training (AMS) in Palm Harbor, FL. After retiring five years ago, Mary joined CGMS. She has served our adult learners as a field consultant, taught at residential sessions, and as an online instructor. Mary has been the Early Childhood Practicum Coordinator for four years. Located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Mary enjoys nature walks, gardening (she took Master Gardener’s Training in 2000 from UC Berkley), reading, writing, watercolor-flowers. She is a people watcher-especially children.
