About Me


Hello, I’m Becca, and I’m passionate about helping parents feel confident, grounded, and connected as they navigate life with infants and toddlers.

I earned a Master of Education from Loyola University Maryland in Montessori Education, with a concentration in infancy, and I am certified (birth to age three) through the Association Montessori Internationale. My approach is further informed by the RIE® Foundations: Theory and Observation course which shaped my belief that respectful relationships and mindful caregiving create the strongest beginnings for children.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve supported families, educators, and caregivers in building environments and routines that truly honor how young children learn. I blend Montessori’s emphasis on independence and purposeful activity with RIE’s peaceful, relationship-centered approach; offering guidance that is attuned, sensitive, and developmentally appropriate.

My work is rooted in the idea that parenting can feel calmer and more joyful when we understand our children deeply and trust in their unfolding development. I would be honored to support your family as you grow, learn, and create rhythms that feel good for everyone.

Why I Do this Work

Families deserve support that is thoughtful, evidence-informed, and truly respectful of the child.
My role is not to give quick fixes, but to offer clarity, understanding, and practical steps rooted in child development.

My Values

  • Respect - For both the child and the parent

  • Independence - Supporting natural development

  • Connection - Strengthening the parent-child relationship

  • Observation - Understanding your child deeply

  • Consistency - For calmer rhythms and easier routines
