Gloria Marcoff

I grew up in a little town called Eloy, Arizona, where I started my journey as an educator at the age of 21. I moved to the Valley in 2006 and continued to teach.  

I find joy in caring for my husband and my two fur babies. Also, I enjoy a good book.  

I love to sing. I’m not sure if I’m good at it, but it brings me joy. 

I started in Montessori education when I moved to the Valley, and then I made a change to public schools, but I’ve come full circle, and I’m back home now to inspire young minds to reach their full potential.  

I love the Montessori method and I’m so happy to be a part of the MDS community. The supportive atmosphere that I feel every time I’m here is amazing. This new school year is going to be a truly rewarding experience.
