Beth Bronsil, M. Ed.

"I have been involved in Montessori Education for 38 years. Through all of the years I have spent engaging with young children and interacting with their parents, one thing has not changed: Children learn best when they are encouraged to explore and discover in an environment of love and acceptance. Productive Parenting provides enriching activities that promote this type of learning with parents in their home-a timeless winning combination!"

Beth Bronsil has dedicated her life to Montessori Education. After graduating from Xavier University with a Masters in Education in 1969, Beth taught over the next several years and served as director of Early Childhood Programs for 8 years before returning to Xavier University. For the next 29 years Beth served as the Director of Xavier University's Montessori Teacher Education Program until her retirement in 2007.

Beth has been instrumental in spreading Montessori Education not only locally in the Cincinnati Public Schools but globally. She has been instrumental in establishing Montessori Education Programs in China and Korea where there are now over 23 public Montessori classrooms.

In addition to her teaching career, Beth has published over 25 articles in the National Montessori publication "Montessori Life." She was a contributor for the book "Montessori in Contemporary Society" and also wrote a parenting column for the "Constructive Triangle Magazine ". As her contributions to education show, Beth has a deep compassion not only for children but also for the teachers and parents who seek to provide them with healthy learning environments.

Beth is married to her husband Ken who has also been involved in Montessori Education. They have two sons and two grandchildren. Beth is the founder and president of "Children's Home Space," which helps parents create learning spaces for their children in the home.
