It is my honor and privilege to provide the highest recommendation for Marina Portillo as an educator of young children. I first met Marina as a graduate student enrolled in the Belmont University Early Childhood MACTE Accredited and AMS Affiliated Montessori Teacher Education Program. During this time I was an Associate Professor and Director of the Montessori Program. […]
Beyond all of these outstanding credentials, Marina is a fine human being. She listens with care and attention to every child or adult who stands before her. She genuinely wills the good of all and this is demonstrated by her numerous acts of generosity and outreach. Her worldview is broad and inclusive, shaped by travel, study, and association with a diverse group of people. I would want Marina for the teacher of my grandchildren and would enroll him or her in any school under the guidance of Marina Portillo.
