Our Directors
Malaikah Saadiq B.Ed
I have a background in Fashion Design, and a BA in Early Childhood Development. I've been a Director at Al-Wali Montessori Center for two years. I found my passion in ECE, and child development as a teacher's aide. I grew to understand that our children’s minds are like sponges. They will soak up knowledge, and good and bad habits that they are exposed to. It has become my best intention, to be a great example, and create a thriving, safe, and positive environment for our children.
