Episode 20: About our Guests
Jess was a Montessori student herself, raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, her Godmother was on the committee that started the public Montessori school program. Her love for Montessori led her back as an adult and she is now a credentialed Montessori teacher for ages 6-12. When Jess was 8 years old she met Aubrey, they were both Synchronized swimmers for The Cincinnati Synchrogators! In college they reconnected in their Montessori practicum class for ages 6-9. This is also where they met Christine and their lives have been better as a result. As an adult, Jess still loves learning and she is currently completing her Masters in Education. In 2014, she followed her love for adventure and moved to Jacksonville, Florida. There she met her husband Charles, the two now live with their dog Mac in Atlantic Beach. Jess and Julia met in early 2021 and are so thankful for how easy it’s been to work together and grow a business. Jess aspires to celebrate each day and when she works with families, she most enjoys empowering them to create peace, in a home that supports the needs of each member of the family.
Julia was born and raised in Atlanta and graduated from Auburn University with a bachelors in Early Childhood Education. She believes that each child has the ability to learn from the world around them and that environments play an important role in a child’s development. After graduating from Auburn, Julia and her husband, Patrick, were stationed in Hawaii for what they call their “extended honeymoon”. During this time she served as an in-home child care provider for a family of four young children. Once moving back to the mainland Julia and Patrick had their first daughter, Collins. It was then that Julia fell in love with the Montessori teaching method. She knew that she wanted to raise her daughter in a space that fostered creativity, exploration, and independence. After the birth of their second daughter, Hadley, Julia joined The Discovery School and completed her Montessori training at the infant and toddler level. She spent four years at the school before stepping away to be more available to her children and help to expand Casa Design Consulting with Jess Nemecek. She is excited to share her passion and love for the Montessori Method with all of you.
