My name is Ashley Causey-Golden and I am an early childhood teacher in Atlanta, GA, owner of Afrocentric Montessori, and co-founder of Gather Forest School. I have worked and explored a number of educational ideologies--Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia as well as worked in different educational settings from schools to homeschooling collectives as well as unschooling. My product uses the lenses of child development, conscious parenting, deschooling/decentering school, and Black critical thought.
