Ellen Kropiewnicki 

Founder & Lead Guide

Ellen Kropiewnicki graduated from the University of Delaware’s Early Childhood Education program in 2015. After teaching in the public preschool setting, she went on to her journey in Montessori training, internship, and finally accreditation. Since having her first child, Ellen found a passion for educating adults in the Montessori Method and felt called to curate the village she was missing through her second pregnancy & early months as a mother of two in the middle of the COVID pandemic. Ellen left the traditional Montessori classroom and began to dream up a safe space for like minded care givers and children to thrive and continue to learn together. MontiStory is that space.
