Emily Snipes

Emily Snipes. Emily is thrilled to be a part of the Amare community again after 5 years away. She has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a master's degree in Reading Education, and her Montessori Primary Certification (ages 3-6) from the Center for Guided Montessori Studies. Emily began her teaching career in public education, but after becoming a mother, she found the Montessori method and discovered it complemented both her teaching and parenting styles. Her spark was ignited in 2019 right here at Amare and continued to grow as she assisted and then led a Primary classroom at Beach Park School in Tampa, FL, until June 2023. Emily and her family have been living in South Korea for the last two years, thanks to an opportunity made possible by her husband Tony’s job. She has been Montessori homeschooling their two sons, Grant and Ben, and has used their time in Korea to travel and enjoy the beautiful cultures of Asia. Emily is excited to bring her experiences back into the Primary classroom and believes strongly in meeting every child where they are and creating a welcoming space that will foster a love of life long learning and a desire to explore, inquire, and appreciate the world around them. Please see the attached pictures of Emily and her family.
