Holli Martin

Owner
I began my career in early childhood education in 2004 as a Master’s student in the ECE program at the University of Colorado at Denver. After graduating, I worked as an infant and, later, toddler teacher before becoming a large child care center director and ultimately owner. We opened Centennial Montessori in hopes of providing a preschool that can go above and beyond to meet the needs of busy working parents and their young children while staying true to an authentic Montessori environment.

Laura Kent

Director
I am the Director of Centennial Montessori and parent to three Montessori children. I have had the honor of being a part of this school since 2007, working my way from a Floater, classroom Assistant, Head Guide, and now Director. I achieved my Early Childhood credential from Montessori Education Center of the Rockies in Boulder in 2012 as well as my Director’s certification in 2011 from ACC. Montessori is an incredible journey of which has transformed my life in many ways. It is such a joy to be a part of fostering children in early childhood and creating a love for learning that lasts forever!

Hello! My name is Annie Couch and I have been at Centennial Montessori for almost three years. Prior to my start here, I received my Masters of Elementary Education at the University of Mississippi and have loved being able to implement that knowledge in the classroom. I have grown incredibly fond of the Montessori pedagogy and I look forward to further supporting it in a different role. I look forward to getting to know the whole school community!
