Darby Rystrom

Darby was born in Lawrence, Kansas and raised in San Jose, California, where her love for dance took root. This passion led her to attend performing arts high schools and ultimately graduate with Honors as a ballet major from Nashville School of the Arts. Her journey into Montessori education began when her niece and nephew enrolled at Amare, sparking a deep interest that inspired her to pursue her own path in the Montessori world. Darby is currently working toward her Elementary certification and is excited to become the Upper Elementary Guide. Darby cherishes time with her daughter, Isla. Outside the classroom, she enjoys baking, solving puzzles, and making sweet memories with her little one.
