My Bio

Hello! My name is Sarah Edam. I was born and raised in Iraq. I graduated from the Teacher Training Institute in 2007 with a degree in Elementary Education. My husband and I moved to California in 2010. I studied and worked at Los Medanos College. I have a passion for educating children. After moving to Arizona, I worked at San Tan Montessori preschool as a primary classroom teacher assistant. I fell in love with the Montessori method. Because of that, I attended the Southwest Institute of Montessori Studies to learn about the Montessori method. This is my fourth year as a teacher at San Tan. This will be my third year as a Montessori Primary guide.

I live with my husband of seventeen years and two amazing teenager boys, Zain is 17 years old, and Adam is 13 years old. When I am not teaching I love to sew, color, design, garden, bake, collect cacti, and make the classrooms’ materials.

My principle as a Montessori guide is to build a classroom community where the children have the freedom to explore and learn independently with appropriate limits and structure. I’m looking forward to an amazing school year working with your child(ren) and family!
