Founder, Certified Montessorian Early Childhood-Elememtary, M.Ed. Curriculum Instruction & Design

Hello homeschooling community! I'm Priscilla Yuill, the Founder and Program Director of Casa Ranch Montessori Homeschool Co-op, and a proud mother of three wonderful boys. With nearly 15 years as a dedicated Montessorian and a decade of hands-on parenting experience, my journey began with obtaining my Early Childhood (3-6) American Montessori Society (AMS) credential in 2011, followed by my Elementary (6-12) Montessori credential in 2013 from England. My passion for Montessori education deepened during my tenure throughout South Florida Montessori schools and in London, where I honed my skills and philosophy.

As a mother, I wholeheartedly embraced the Montessori principles in our home, creating an environment where my children thrive independently. Inspired by my travels and education, I pursued a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Barry University in Miami, graduating in 2019. This experience solidified my commitment to enriching the Montessori curriculum and led me to establish Casa Ranch—a nature-based Montessori haven where children blossom.

During the pandemic, I transitioned to homeschooling my boys and launched a successful summer camp, which evolved into the vibrant co-op we have today. Casa Ranch has grown organically, attracting families seeking to actively participate in their children’s educational journey. Our certified educators and supportive parents have nurtured a program that fosters each child’s spirit, talents, and curiosities.

Beyond academics, I am a staunch advocate for boys' mental health and wellbeing, striving to support students of all ages who feel disconnected and in need of compassion and understanding. At Casa Ranch Montessori, we believe in empowering educators to explore their passions and excel, ensuring they have the freedom for professional growth and personal fulfillment throughout the school year.

Montessori's philosophy guides us to deeply respect children, transforming societal norms to foster calm, respectful interactions. Cultivating a peaceful inner life enables us to meet children's diverse needs in our holistic environment. I am inspired by this movement to revolutionize education and collaborate with like-minded educators, advocating for sustainability, humanity, justice, and peace in our world.

Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey of learning and growth at Casa Ranch Montessori Homeschool Co-op!
