This program is conducted by Karen Vianello and Adele Arnese. Parents are usually able to quickly catch up with teachers at drop off or pick up time. However, if you require a more formal appointment, please arrange a mutually convenient time. Teachers can be contacted by phoning the school or alternatively you may wish to email them.
Their email address is karenv@southernmontessori.sa.edu.au or adele@southernmontessori.sa.edu.au. Our teachers will endeavour to respond to you as soon as possible during classroom breaks. Thank you.
Karen and Adele teach a Cycle 1 Reception class.
Karen works four days per week, with Adele, who is also our Italian teacher, taking the class on Fridays. Karen and Adele work closely with the Preschool to ensure a smooth transition to Reception. They also work closely with Rachel and Anne-Marie’s Reception class to ensure consistency between the two classes. Jane is a classroom assistant in Karen and Adele’s class. Her primary role is to provide extra support to allow Karen and Adele to work with children in small groups and meet their individual needs.
