Before taking on the role of Principal of Caboolture Montessori School (CMS) in 2009, Yvonne was as Curriculum Director, and prior to returning to CMS was a Montessori teacher, and ran a consulting business providing educational advice to schools and other institutions.  Yvonne has worked in Montessori Education for over 30 years, drawn to Montessori because of it's respect for the child and the rigour of this type of education.

Yvonne started at CMS in 1998 when the school opened its doors and when she returned it reignited her passion and love for the community. As Principal, Yvonne has been privileged to be a part of the School’s growth and development, and has seen significant progress during this time. She enjoys working with children and staff and witnessing growth in all sectors of the community.

Yvonne's passions and interests include research, swimming, reading and my grandchildren.

Yvonne holds a AMI Montessori Diploma (3-6), Bachelor of Education Studies, Graduate Certificate in Expressive Therapies, and Master of Education (Guidance & Counselling).
