Athina Dritsas
Founder of Kensington Montessori Child Care
July 12th, 1966 – September 13th, 2012
In Loving Memory
Kensington Montessori Child Care Centre was founded in 2003 by Athina Dritsas. Athina had a life-long passion for learning and found her true calling when she was introduced to the Montessori education program through her first child and his early learning experiences. Her son Michael was enrolled in a Montessori preschool program, and she was continuously impressed by what he was learning at such a young age. She often commented on the wide range and well-rounded learning he gained through the program and was amazed by the thoughtful conversations they would have on the drive home after preschool pickup. It was Michael’s Montessori experience that inspired a major career shift for Athina in 2000.
