Sueli Coqueiro

Willow Classroom
I am a Lead Teacher at Bellevue Montessori School. I hold a degree in Communication
and have pursued studies with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) in Early
Childhood Education, which continues to guide my work in the classroom.
Before teaching, I worked as a Product Designer, an experience that strengthened my
skills in communication, creativity, observation, and problem-solving. These skills now
support me in creating a prepared environment where children can grow with
confidence and independence.
I have a strong interest in neuroscience and how it connects to child development, as
well as a particular appreciation for Practical Life activities, which help children build
autonomy through meaningful, hands-on work.
I was born in Brazil and lived in Canada before moving to the United States.
Outside of work, I enjoy running, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.
