      Anisa Doku

      Lead Teacher

      This is my tenth year with IMSA and I have seen many babies growing, developing and mastering the required skills for this group age. I am a mother of three kids and working with little children is what I love most. I grew up in Tirana where I studied Math at the University of Tirana. I found my true passion in early childhood education when I became a mother myself. During my time in the USA, I had the opportunity to explore the early childhood education and since then, I have worked in many pre-schools in the USA and Albania. Since I joined IMSA, I have become very fond of the Montessori method. I am a trained and certified Montessori teacher and together with my assistant teachers we help little humans master their life skills.
