Heather Geiger - I am originally from Northwest Iowa and my husband, Toby, is from the Des Moines area. Toby works for Data Business Equipment and I'm a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys, Will and Zach. Will is in his second year at MCH and is in the Half Day Early Preschool room. He really enjoys going to school to see his friends everyday. Zach is 14 months old. We live in Waukee.
Amanda Gorsche-Miller - My husband, Josh Miller, and I are both from the Des Moines area. My husband works as a Senior Industrial Engineer at Firestone in Des Moines and I work at home as a freelance writer. We are the parents to our wonderful two-year old daughter, Harper. This is Harper's first year at Montessori. She is in Mrs. Brennan/Beatty/Mansfield/Vasilas' half-day early preschool class. When my husband and I decided to introduce our daughter to an environment for education and care outside of the home, we searched long and hard to find the perfect atmosphere for our child. We believe we have found that at Montessori Children's House. We are thrilled to have our daughter in attendance at Montessori Children's House and are excited to get involved with the school as much as we can.
Amy Keiderling - Hi! I am Amy Keiderling and my husband Jon and I live in Des Moines with our two children, Ian (8) and Anna (4). We started our journey with MCH with our son Ian and Anna is now in her 3rd with MCH in Mrs. Wiggins and Mrs. Adams class this year. As a family we are constantly on the go with football, soccer, basketball, dance, church activities, and cub scouts. I am currently the Vice President this year for the Des Moines City PTA which assists the Des Moines schools with their PTA programs. I am also part of the Waukee Foundation and in charge of the Waukee Alumni Association, so I might see you and your future Warriors again someday. I look forward to getting to know all the kids and their families this year!
Meggan Kring - Our family just moved to Iowa from Virginia, so we are new to the Midwest! I am married to Nathan Kring, and we have one daughter, Madeline, who is in her first year at MCH. Madeline turned three in early September, and she is in two half day programs to make a ful day. I am lucky enough to work from home, I am a marketing analyst for the government. My husband is the Vice President for Rock Communications. We live in West Des Moines.
Erica Rohr - My family, my husband Karl and our three daughters Carolyn, Meghan, and Ella, moved to Des Moines in 2006 from Monterey, CA. My husband is in the U.S. Marine Corps and is in charge of recruiting for Iowa and Nebraska. We will be here until 2009 then who knows where the military will move us! I work from home for LMI, a government consulting firm out of Washington DC, an an environmental engineer. Basically I help the Army maintain compliance with environmental regulations. Carolyn and Meghan are both in a traditional Montessori classroom in the morning and Spanish Immersion and Ella is in Full Day Early Preschool. Karl and I are originally from the Philadelphia area. This is our first time in the Midwest. It has been a wonderful experience living in Des Moines. We are enjoying exploring the area and meeting everyone.

My husband Steven and I were raised in the Des Moines area. I work for Wells Fargo Private Client Services as an associate, and my husband Steven is on the command staff at the West Des Moines Police Department. We are blessed with two beautiful children, Bailey (18) a senior at Valley High School, and Michael (3) a student in the early preschool and afternoon preschool at MCH. Our family enjoys attending services at Lutheran Church of Hope, outdoor play, and family movie night. I look forward to meeting the parents and students of MCH.
