Beth Craig

Beth is starting her 16th year at Breck Montessori. She moved to Breck in 1999 from North Dakota and snowboarded until it was time to further her education! She earned an Environmental Studies, Policy and Society degree from CU-Boulder (2004), an American Montessori Society Early Childhood certificate in 2011 and a Master’s in Early Childhood Education, CU-Denver in 2017. Beth enjoys spending time traveling around Colorado with her husband. She also enjoys reading, watching tv (Seinfeld, the Office or Below Deck- guilty pleasure!), and traveling as much as possible. In May 2024 Beth went to Norway and visited the Ørstadhaugen gård, an original family farmstead that is the farm her great, great grandparents immigrated from and is still farmed by her relatives.

Sloane Rodriguez

Sloane completed a 7-week, in-person Montessori training program in Denver in the summer of 2025 and is accredited through the American Montessori Society (AMS), an internationally recognized gold standard in Montessori education. Sloane graduated from Michigan State University in 2021 with a major in Elementary Education with a minor in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). During that time, she spent two years working in a variety of classrooms at a local childcare center, including the infant class, toddlers, preschool, as well as school-age. Soon after she graduated, she moved to Breckenridge because she landed a job at Breckenridge Montessori! She started in June of 2021 and has been here ever since. Outside of teaching, Sloane loves to mountain bike, hike, and camp with her dog, Mazzy. Sloane sings in a band that plays shows locally and she loves having the kids come see them play so feel free to ask about shows coming up.
