Emily Williams

Bonjour, grüezi and hello! I’m Emily Williams, one of your trusty Assistant Teachers here at the lovely Julia Street campus.

I’m a four-year transplant to Asheville, hailing from a number of places that include California (Napa), Ontario, Kentucky, Switzerland, Vermont and the UK. Through my travels and adventures I discovered my true passion- helping to guide our littlest people to their full potential!

My first forays into Montessori began with toddlerdom and continued through my preteen years. The Montessori method truly laid the foundation for my personhood, intellectual curiosity and values, and I felt a strong pull to return the warmth and encouragement I received during my early years.

I’m a current student in AB-Tech’s Early Childhood Education AS program. I plan to continue on to complete my Bachelors’ within the next few years, and then on to train in Montessori education in an official capacity.

In my free time, I’m often found knee-deep in a stream, enjoying traditional folk music, dancing, knitting and exploring Asheville’s culinary world. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to train in a Montessori setting, with such a supportive community here at AMS to guide me as I guide our youngest minds!
