Cheryl Quagliado

My name is Cheryl Quagliato.  I grew up on a small farm in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.  In the fall of 1988, I graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a dual certification in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education.  In 1993, I moved to Alfred with my husband after he had accepted a teaching position at Alfred State College.  Shortly after our arrival, I learned about the Alfred Montessori School and became a teacher in the preschool room. I appreciated the value of this child-centered approach to learning.  My favorite thing about teaching is that I enjoy observing the children’s curiosity and desire to learn in the Montessori classroom.
