Emily BFM II
Black Forest Montessori II Co. Teacher - Ms. Emily Vuchetich

Ms. Emily has been a teacher for two years. One year with Black Forest Montessori Co. 

Teaching has been my passion and a driving force in my life, ever since I can remember. I grew up in rural Wisconsin and worked hard to get to college.

I attended the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, where I received my degree in Early Childhood and Special Education and specialized in Intellectual Disabilities. Within my education journey I received the Excellence in Student Leadership award from my department, wrote a research paper that was accepted by the Division of Early Childhood where I presented in Chicago, was a teaching assistant, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude from my department in 2022.

My philosophy in teaching has always been that every student can learn, and deserves the right to a safe and happy environment. I believe a teacher's job is not to limit a student, but to embrace their unique qualities and use those qualities to help them succeed not just academically but in life as well.
