Jennifer goering
The director and instructor of Inspiration Station is Jennifer Goering. Jennifer graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance. She performed in many venues - professionally with the Ohio Light Opera Company, as well as the Wichita Children’s picnic theatre and touring company. Additionally she enjoyed teaching theater classes, but knew she wanted to inspire young children to have the love of learning, including her own!
She followed her vocation and love for children in 2001, when she became a certified Montessori instructor for ages 2-1⁄2 to 6. She has been teaching since 1998. She was certified through NCME (National Center for Montessori Education) and developed a music program that was nationally recognized in the NCME Montessori Reporter.
Since 2001, The American Montessori Society (AMS) training center have joined together with NCME to become one. At this time, Jennifer was given the opportunity to be a Montessori Music educator for the Kansas City Center in Montessori Education.
Jennifer and her husband Theron live in the country with their two daughters.
Being the directress of Inspiration Station, she plans to help children find their passions and to inspire a desire for learning, to nurture curiosity and to foster their creativity and imagination.
