Our Teacher Leaders

Theresa O'Toole, M.Ed

Founding Teacher Leader

Academic Language Therapist

Montessori EL2 Trained Guide

Theresa has over twenty years of experience in a variety of educational settings. She has an Elementary Education 1-6 teaching license with a Master's degree in Education. When her son was diagnosed with dyslexia in the fall of 2021, she began her journey towards certification as an Academic Language Therapist. She was trained in both Basic and Advanced Orton-Gillingham through The Reading Center of MN and spent the next four years tutoring dyslexic students one-to-one. She also worked in TRC's Partnership School program at The Journey School in St. Paul for two years. She recently received EL2 Montessori training through AIM, but believes she has always been a Montessorian at heart. Theresa lives with her husband and their three children, who have been her greatest teachers in life. She loves being outside and taking family walks with their two dogs Georgie and Rue.

Lisa Reiner, MA

Founding Teaching Leader

Montessori EL1 & EL2 Trained Guide

RYT - 500

Lisa has over ten years of experience teaching students with different educational modalities. After walking with her oldest son through childhood anxiety and ADHD, Lisa realized the need for social-emotional support and education for all children. For this reason, she expanded her Registered Yoga Teacher certification to include Yoga Calm and Trauma Sensitive Yoga Certifications and led a school wide Yoga/Social-Emotional program for five years in the Stillwater Public School system. After realizing her youngest son needed extra educational assistance with dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia, Lisa became a trained Orton-Gillingham tutor. For the past four years she has been tutoring her own son as well as other dyslexic students in her community. Lisa is currently an EL2 Assistant Guide in St. Paul and is in the process of completing her EL1 & 2 Montessori Education certification.
