Erin Young Lead Montessori Teacher

Hello,
My name is Erin Young and I am thrilled to be
a part of Brighton Montessori. I adore the
unique and cozy feel of the school and the
families are so warm and welcoming.
I have been working with children since
1994. I fell in love with the Montessori
Method in 1997. I received my Montessori
certification in 2001 from Montessori
Education Center of the Rockies, A.M.S.. I
find Montessori to be a beautiful, adaptable,
and all encompassing philosophy. I believe
the theory focuses on the unique needs of
each child, building self confidence and
fostering the growth of the human spirit. I am
so grateful to be a part of this special time in
a child's life.
I enjoy my career, cuddling with my son and
daughter, watching movies, listening to all
kinds of music, and just trying to enjoy life as
much as I can. Again, I'm excited to be a part
of this school and I look forward to working
with your children.
See you in school!
Your Montessori Preschool Teacher,
Erin Young


My name is Denise Swartz and I am proud to
be the new Director here at Brighton
Montessori School. I absolutely love the
quaint atmosphere and family environment
that the school offers.
I graduated in 1996 from Iowa State
University with a degree in Early Childhood I
moved from Des Moines, Iowa to Colorado in
1999 and absolutely fell in love with all that
the Denver area offers. I have spent the last
15 years as an Early Childhood Education
Teacher in both the preschool and public
school settings, as well as a Site
Coordinator for an academic after school
program. I really enjoy working with parents
and their children, as I feel one of the most
important areas of a child’s development
happens in the preschool years.
When I am not working I enjoy family time
with my husband and two children. I love
reading, enjoying the outdoors, going to
sporting Events, and listening to music.
I look forward to meeting you and your
children and discussing what Brighton
Montessori can do for your family!
Denise Swartz, Director
