Ms. Cecile Ricord

Lead Teacher, Early Preschool

Cecile earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Food Technology and always aspired to become a teacher. She began her teaching career at an elementary and high school in the Philippines, and later taught Kuwait and Hong Kong for eight years. Cecile began her Montessori career in 2014 as an Assistant Teacher and completed the Montessori Assistant training program through Montessori Education of the Pacific Northwest (MEIPN). After joining Living Montessori in 2019, she completed her Montessori training and mentorship, and in 2021, she was promoted to Lead Teacher. Cecile quickly earned the trust and loyalty of the families in her class, and in 2024, her twin daughters joined our Living Montessori community.

Cecile deeply enjoys connecting with children on a personal, caring, and mentoring level. Her goal is to help lay a solid foundation of learning and responsibility to guide them as they grow into young adults.

In her free time, Cecile loves to laugh and spend time with friends. She also enjoys shopping, spending time with her husband and daughters, and watching movies together. Cecile and her family love exploring new places, both locally and abroad. Known for her great sense of humor and adventurous spirit, she is always open to trying new things. She’s also an excellent cook, specializing in Filipino cuisine and desserts!
