Lower Elementary West - Classroom Assistant

Rachel Torres

Ms. Rachel relocated to Jacksonville from a small agricultural town in central California. She joined Montessori Children’s School (MCS) after previously working at another Montessori school in California, where she earned her Primary Montessori Teaching Credentials.

With over 8 years of experience working with children of all ages—from infants to high school students—Ms. Rachel brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to her role.

In her free time, Ms. Rachel enjoys hiking, traveling, hitting the gym, and spending quality time with her family. She and her husband love embarking on new adventures with their three German Shepherds.

This will be Ms. Rachel’s third year at MCS, and she is excited to continue her journey with the school.
