Our Team

​Rania is the Founder and Director of Renaissance Montessori Academy. She has dedicated 8 years to teaching and 10 years to education, with a Bachelor of Education, Early Childhood Education and Special Education training, and a strong background in Montessori education.

​

Her passion for Montessori comes from a simple belief that children are capable, curious, and deserve an environment where they can learn, explore, and grow at their own pace. Her vision for RMA is to provide a warm and welcoming Montessori community for families in Calgary while staying true to the principles and legacy of Dr. Maria Montessori.

​

Rania is actively involved in the day-to-day program and enjoys working closely with children, families, and the RMA team. She believes that having a caring, experienced, and supportive team is an important part of creating a positive early learning environment.

​

Outside of work, Rania enjoys coffee, hiking with her Chow Chow, and travelling, especially to hot springs.

Charlotte is our Program Supervisor at Renaissance Montessori Academy. She brings several years of experience in Montessori education and early childhood leadership, with a background in curriculum planning, team support, classroom management, and family communication.

​

Originally from France, Charlotte began her early childhood career in London, England, where she gained experience working with children, families, and teaching teams in a Montessori environment. As a native French speaker, she is also excited to share her language and culture with our RMA community.

​

Charlotte is passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, confident, and encouraged to develop their independence.

​

Outside of work, Charlotte enjoys hiking, photography, cooking, music, and spending time outdoors. We are proud to have her experience, leadership, and passion as part of the RMA team.

Louisa brings a calm, nurturing, and responsive approach to the classroom and understands the importance of creating a safe and trusting environment for children from 12 to 20 months.

​

With a Child and Youth Care Diploma and experience in emergent curriculum, Reggio Emilia, Montessori-inspired learning, and Alberta’s Flight Framework, Louisa supports each child’s development through exploration, movement, play, and meaningful daily routines.

​

In our Nido classroom, Louisa works closely with children and families to support their transition, independence, and growing confidence while providing the warm and attentive care our youngest learners need.

​

Outside of work, Louisa enjoys travelling, spending time outdoors, and focusing on personal well-being and balance. We are very happy to have her experience, warmth, and dedication as part of our RMA team.
