Karin LambersonDirector and Lead Teacher

Karin always knew she wanted to work with children, and she is excited to return to her hometown to be the director of Nye Beach Montessori School! She has been working in Montessori schools in Albany and Corvallis since 2003, and has been a lead teacher since 2013. She holds a diploma from Association Montessori Internationale and a Master’s degree. Her favorite part about being with children is learning about each one’s unique personality and helping them become the best version of themselves they can. Karin enjoys walking on the beach, playing guitar, birding, camping, and gardening with her family.
