Under her stewardship, Casa Niños has achieved a significant milestone by becoming officially accredited by The National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education. This accomplishment is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the entire staff, particularly under the guidance of Jenny Ruth and Jessica Zarling, who have tirelessly pursued this long-term goal over the past three years.

Terri's skill set is extensive, encompassing teacher training, volunteer management, and workshops focused on autism spectrum disorders. Her commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment not only enhances the educational experience for students but also empowers fellow educators through professional development opportunities. As she continues to lead Casa Niños into the future, Terri Zarling remains dedicated to promoting the Montessori philosophy, ensuring that each child receives a nurturing and enriching educational experience tailored to their individual needs.
