Maestra Líder Fundadora y Guía Primaria
I was most inspired to become a teacher by three educators: my father, Mrs Ruth Denney, and Mrs Laurie Gonzales. It was their examples of deep respect for their students, their kind patience, humor and fierce love of teaching, that ignited my drive to be an educator. I grew up in Colorado and am both a Montessori teacher and parent. My teaching at a public Montessori school coincided with my daughter beginning in a primary classroom and we learned about Montessori together. I earned my teaching degree from Lesley University in 1997 and my formal AMI Montessori training in 2015 in Denver. My goal is to continue to inspire and guide children in exploring and expanding their world with confidence and curiosity while learning about themselves and others.

Hello, my name is Adriana. I have been working in early childhood education since 2010 and have experience in both traditional classroom environments and Montessori settings. Throughout my career, I have also served as a school director, helping to open and license early childhood programs.
I love working with children because it is always amazing to see how they view and learn about the world. Their curiosity, creativity, and excitement for discovery inspire me every day.
I truly enjoy working at Echinacea Montessori because it is a small, one-classroom school that reminds me of the early days when Maria Montessori first opened her Children’s House. Being part of such an intimate learning environment allows us to create a nurturing space where each child can grow, explore, and develop a love of learning.

Hello Echinacea families! My name is Sheridan Manfredi and I use she/her pronouns. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Colorado Denver obtaining a dual masters degree in criminal justice and public administration with a nonprofit management concentration. I am passionate about criminal justice reform, and one way I see this being realized is through education. I hope to use what I have learned in my program to assist Echinacea, and all of you, to the best of my ability. I was born and raised in Reno, Nevada and moved to Denver for grad school in 2021. I have since fallen in love with this city and all it has to offer. In my free time I like to hike, camp, eat good food, and hang out with my amazing friends. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
