About Whitney
Whitney Charbonneau is a seasoned educator and a maven of creating order from chaos. She is a lover of beautiful learning spaces and a believer in the power of intentional space to foster growth. Whitney brings a uniquely multi-layered perspective to her passion for creating the right conditions for little humans to grow, which she knows never one-size-fits all. Whitney takes joy in connecting to families, working to understand broader values, priorities, and challenges at play to create a physical space where everyone thrives.
Her decade of wide-ranging experience in elementary education spans learning approaches in vastly different settings across the US. She served with Teach for America for two years, teaching elementary education in one of the most underfunded districts in Baltimore City. She was then recruited to teach third and fourth grade math at a Brooklyn charter school where her students went on to record-breaking success. Later, she joined a small Montessori school in northern California. In recent years, Whitney has shifted her work to become deeply embedded within individual family contexts, designing and overseeing tailored one-on-one learning approaches for their kids.
Whitney earned a Bachelor of Arts in French from Princeton University, her Master’s in Elementary Education from Johns Hopkins, and is AMI Montessori certified. She is a mom of two who recently moved home to Princeton, New Jersey to be closer to her people in the place that raised her.
