Hello!  I am Ms. Catherine Tantengco. During my college years I was an assistant in a Montessori classroom, and knew early on that I wanted to pursue a career in Montessori education.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development degree in 2002, after which I pursued my Montessori teacher certification from the Association Montessori Internationale, the organization personally founded by Maria Montessori.  In 2005 my husband and I moved to Colorado and soon after I became part of the Buena Vista team.  When I am away from school I am very busy raising four fast growing children; Malia, Dominic, Nathaniel, and Christine.
