Lower and Upper Elementary Classroom, The Beehive (Ages 6-12)
Kyla Hilton - Beehive Lower Elementary Assistant
Kyla Hilton first became interested in learning about Montessori philosophy when running book fairs at Montessori schools in West Virginia and Delaware. Her interest and knowledge grew when her son began attending Charleston Montessori in 2012. Over the years, as her children attended the school, Kyla learned more about the Montessori method. Her frequent visits to the classroom and self-motivated study allowed her to continue using this method when her family moved to Beckley in 2016, and she began homeschooling.
Kyla’s many interests stem from her love of education and building community. She studied Sociology and Anthropology at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. Most recently, she taught preschool in Charleston for children between the ages of two and three. Kyla’s a seasoned bookstore manager. She’s also a certified doula, birth assistant, lactation counselor, and childbirth educator. In this capacity, her teaching has centered on assisting families throughout pregnancy and into postpartum life. Kyla’s favorite subjects in the classroom are history, geography, and practical life. Outside of school, she enjoys exploring, cooking and baking, and learning home repair.
