Ms. Hanane joined Cosmic Montessori as a Lead DIrectress in the Toddler Classroom in 2012, and two years later she launched a new 3-6 classroom to meet the needs of the growing community. Ms. Hanane holds a bachelor’s degree in French literature, a certification in Cosmetology from Bell Mar Beauty College, and a Montessori certification in 3-6 from North American Montessori Center (NAMC). She brings many years of experience in Montessori as a lead bilingual teacher, effectively fluent in English and French. Originally from Morocco, Miss Hanane lives in Aurora with her husband, Khalid and her two children, Adam & Samy. We are very happy to have Miss Hanane as a member of our diverse staff. She has a passion for teaching, and the children love her. After countless years of dedication, Ms. Hanane has accepted a new challenge to join the administration staff, starting in 2019, as an Assistant Director. We are very excited about this new addition and look forward to what she has in store. Also, Ms. Hanane will be working toward completing a whole school leadership program in Houston, Texas this summer (2019), in order to attain a Montessori Leadership Certificate from Loyola University.
