About me
2022 International Montessori Award Winner
I consider myself a luxury lifestyle entrepreneur. A budding Luddington lifestyle pursuant, but definitely an entrepreneur by all standards.
I have been an education entrepreneur for the past 15 years, with 12 of those years structured on Montessori and early years education.
As an education and lifestyle (services curated for families), I have covered a wide scope of services.
At a young age 23 years, I singlehandedly founded MCG (Montessori Center Ghana) and effortlessly carved a niche for this professional development college through my acute sense for excellence, perfectionism, and organisation.
However, the greater part of success has been a long road home. There were successes in the every day occurrences. Small wins on a daily which was derived from the benchmark qualities which the college/ business was synonymous with - training founded and delivered on authentic Montessori practices and integrity based, highly trained facilitators, live model environments, following purist Montessori classroom methodology, and streamlined academic learning model that demands students put in the work and earn their qualifications.
I am very much client obsessed- a client-centric business owner and I put our clients at the center of consideration of how I designed, developed, and structured the business to run.
Talking about people, I believe in grooming, upscaling, and empowering people to become pedigree in their capacity. And this is the mindset with which I built my team for the college.
Over the years I expanded our portfolio (there were many trial and error periods), by experimenting services that was curated for lifestyle of families with young children so we remained withour core niche of working within the early years, from nanny services, to parenting support to coaching to consulting and setting up nurseries and condusive enabling environments for childcare and learning.
Slowly we evolved while mastering the craft and today MCG stands tall as a household name in Ghana, and within the international community as we have morphed into a virtual campus serving the rest of Africa and the world.
I am currently the 2022 International Winner of the Montessori Global Award for Outstanding Contribution to Montessori in Practice.
