Bronwen Allen was born in Canada where she attended an English-French bilingual Montessori preschool herself as a three year old.  She then grew up and was educated in England from the age of four, graduating with a degree in theology from the University of Durham in 1997.  She then came to Poland to qualify and work as an English teacher in private language schools, specialising in the area of teaching children. 

She has more than 20 years of experience in educational management – 10 years in the area of running private language schools and nearly 12 years in running Montessori programmes.  She has participated in the Montessori preschool and Montessori school teacher training courses (both for grades 1 to 3 as well as 4 to 6 of primary school) with the Polish Montessori Institute and has attended numerous conferences and workshops in the area of Montessori teaching and school management.  She is married to a Polish husband and is the mother of two bilingual Montessori children – a daughter and a son.

‘I am passionate about education, the English language, bilingualism and the Montessori method.  I love the satisfaction that comes from seeing children blossom in the Montessori learning environment.  I am deeply convinced that the educational environment of international exchange, combined with the Montessori method offers a unique and very special experience for our children.’

I am a psychologist by education, and I started working in a preschool by chance. :) What was initially a "temporary" job turned into a passion, and I spent 10 years in preschools working as a psychologist and a preschool teacher. I completed postgraduate studies in preschool and early childhood education, a course in sensory integration therapy, as well as training in Nonviolent Communication and Positive Discipline. I also began a family psychotherapy training program.

At the very beginning of my career, I encountered the Montessori Method. This approach, combined with my psychological knowledge, sparked a vision within me for a preschool that would not only be a physically safe space for children but also one that nurtures their emotional security while stimulating their comprehensive development. In the Montessori Method, I found many answers to the question of how to guide children so they marvel at the world every day, eagerly exploring the principles that govern it, all while respecting their individual developmental pace.

On August 1, 2022, I embraced the opportunity to begin implementing my ideas in daily practice as the director of English Montessori Preschool, which is what I now dedicate myself to each day.

In every person, I strive to see their strengths and focus on supporting both children and teachers in developing their talents. When difficulties arise that hinder the realization of their potential, I work to organize assistance tailored to their needs and challenges.

Daily exchanges of ideas, skills, and support with my staff, the trust and kindness of parents, and most of all, the joy and love in the children’s eyes make my work immensely rewarding. Despite the greatest fatigue, my enthusiasm always returns.

Privately, I am the mother of 14-year-old Jagoda, a fan of folk-metal music, audiobooks about nature, geopolitics, and history, and of upcycling old furniture into useful items. I love relaxing in a kayak, swimming in a warm sea, camping in the forest, or under a cozy blanket with my four cats.

My motto is: "If you want peace in the world, establish it first in homes and schools."

My name is Oliwia Nowak, I am an English and early education teacher. I have also completed a Montessori preschool course organised by the Polish Montessori Institute in Warsaw. I really enjoy working with children and I am happy to witness the development of their skills and personalities. The Montessori method is particularly dear to my heart because it allows me to have an individual approach to each child and to focus on their needs and emotions.

In my personal life, I am a happy wife and mother. I enjoy mountain hiking, contact with nature, travelling and family cooking. In my leisure time, I like to broaden my knowledge of child psychology and attachment parenting.
