Meet Little Moon's Founder
Greetings, and thank you for stopping by!
​
My name is Bonny Flower, founder of Little Moon Montessori. I am an experienced AMI Montessori Primary guide, parent, grandparent, and lifelong Berkshire County resident, and I have been developing this vision since 2023.
​
​​For more than 30 years, I have devoted my life to supporting young children as they grow in independence, self-esteem, compassion, and a love of learning. Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching and leading in several Montessori communities, including The Montessori School of the Berkshires in Lenox Dale, MA, and Litchfield Montessori School in Litchfield, CT.
I hold a B.A. in Sociology and Psychology from Purdue University and an AMI Primary Diploma from the Washington Montessori Institute. Most recently, I completed training in emotional intelligence facilitation through Yale University’s RULER program, further deepening my commitment to nurturing emotional well-being alongside cognitive growth.
​
In addition to my Montessori path, I have spent much of my adult life exploring metaphysics and studying with leading alternative healing practitioners. I am certified in Reiki II and Reconnective Healing, and these modalities quietly inform my holistic approach to health and education.
​​I grew up in the Berkshires and I feel most at home outdoors, surrounded by trees and open fields, immersed in the everyday magic of the natural world. I love hiking familiar trails or wandering through the woods, especially in spring when the peepers and wood frogs begin to sing. Time in nature grounds and restores me, offering balance and inspiration that flows into my daily life.
​
As a mother of four grown children and a proud “Meem” to two grandsons, my greatest joy and fulfillment come from family. Growing alongside these remarkable people continues to be one of my life’s most meaningful and amazing journeys.​​​
