Faculty Spotlight

My name is Allison MacDuffie, and I have been an early childhood educator for the past six years. I am passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to grow. I believe that the early years are the foundation for lifelong learning, and I am committed to helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of discovery. Over the last six years, I have worked with young children in early childhood education, supporting their academic, social, and emotional development. I am proud to be Montessori certified, having earned my certification last year, which has strengthened my ability to foster independence and hands-on learning in the classroom. I also recently became a Certified Potty Guide, allowing me to better support children and families through an important developmental milestone with patience, consistency, and encouragement. Unity School holds a special place in my heart because both of my children attend the school. As a parent of a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old, I have experienced firsthand the caring community, dedicated educators, and positive learning environment that Unity provides. Seeing the growth and happiness of my own children has inspired me to become a dedicated part of the team and contribute to the school’s mission.
