Our Team

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 is a four-year cancer survivor and thriver, and is grateful to the Breck Montessori community for continued support in her health and well-being. 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. 

Director

Sloane Rodriguez

Lead Teacher

Sloane attended the 7-week, in-person Montessori training in Denver in summer 2025! 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. Sloane recently traveled to Greece and was immersed in the local culture.

Assistant Teacher

Amanda Scoville

Amanda is originally from Granby, Connecticut but has spent time living in St. Petersburg, Florida, West Dover, Vermont and India. She worked as a lead teacher in a childcare center and as a high school art long-term substitute before switching careers and moving to Keystone, CO to be the Assistant Manager of Product Sales and Service. Working in a leadership position inspired Amanda to step back into the teaching world and she could not be more excited. In her free time Amanda loves to snowboard, mountain bike, make art, go to concerts at the Dillon Amp, and spend time with her beloved kitten Goose. Amanda has a B.A. in Religious Studies Degree from Eckerd College. Amanda recently spent time on the East Coast with family and friends!
