In October of 2015 the Mountain Breeze School, a licensed preschool, opened in a residence in Marshall, NC, in a wonderful community of open-minded people just 20 minutes north of Asheville. It is situated next to the Ananda Girisuta Master Unit. The preschool occupies 1400 square feet of a residence in the community and is licensed for 12 children, 3-5 years of age. Hours of operation are 8:00am-5:30pm every day.

The Mountain Breeze School is directed by Rachel Maietta and has recently hired its second teacher, Jamie Moshe to work with Miriam Godoshian. Miriam laid the foundation for our Neohumanist curriculum. Jamie is a qualified early childhood education teacher and yoga instructor for young children. She is from the New York area where she taught preschool and early grades. She had also visited the Progressive School of Long Island and has been very attracted to the Neohumanist Education approach. She feels very much at home at the Mountain Breeze School and is fully utilizing the Circle of Love in her work with the children.Issue42_Page_42_Image_2
