Christine Kovago is the Science Teacher here at Pincushion Hill Montessori School, now celebrating her 44th year of devotion to the children. She began her career at Pincushion in 1978 after completing a BA in Early Childhood Education with a triple minor in Elementary Education (grades 1-6), Art History, and Special Education from Worcester State College. 

She did extensive studies of fine art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Worcester Art Museum. Christine received her Montessori training at Boston College in 1979. She was in the first graduating class of the New England Montessori Teacher Education Center here in Massachusetts, and she taught directly for 14 years at Pincushion both in the Children’s House (ages 3-6) and Elementary (ages 6-9) classrooms before becoming the Director of the school. 

She served the Pincushion Hill community as the director for 30 years. Montessori education is a calling for Christine and she looks forward to continuing educating children in the fascinating world of science.
