My name is Carolyn Panzer. I was born in Chicago, and spent much of my school age years in Elgin. From a young age I knew I had a deep passion to seek out a career in young childhood education. By middle school I spent my weekends Nannying a family of four on a regular basis. I continued to immerse myself working with young minds, as a swim Instructor, student Aid, Before/ Afterschool program counselor, and Summer camp Mentor.

On my free time I enjoy yoga, hiking with my 2 dogs, meditating, and baking sweet treats.

There is nothing I enjoy more than helping a child learn and grow at the early stages of their lives. I am grateful and thrilled to be part of the Mansio Montessori community!
