Sueli Coqueiro

Park Campus

Willow Classroom Lead Teacher

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.
