Tristan also has 17-year-old twins who attended Mariposa Montessori from the Infant Program through Upper Elementary. She is currently an instructional guide\, practicum advisor\, and field consultant for both the IT and EC levels for CGMS.\n\n\nAbout Seslie Recker:\n\nSeslie Recker is a passionate educator and a graduate of The Center for Guided Montessori Studies’ Infant-Toddler program.
