Bettina Saffer was born and raised in Franconian Switzerland in Bavaria. Sixteen years ago I started my education as a state recognized early childhood education teacher and I worked in different facilities from preschool to therapeutic pedagogy living group with teenagers.  In 1999 I received the AMI diploma (Association Montessori International). Subsequently I worked for 5 years in an integrative Montessori Kindergarten as a substitute head of administration. For further experiences I then moved to California to work at the German International School of Silicon Valley in preschool and kindergarten.

In September 2009 I moved to Munich in order to start my work as head of administration at Lilli & Lori International Preschool. The bilingual concept (of the school) combined with Montessori Pedagogy inspires me tremendously and I am really happy to pass this concept to our children.

For the past six years, she has taught some combination of reading, writing, kid`s music/art, cooking and the Hokey Pokey…. some of her favorite things!

She feels incredibly lucky to be able to explore beautiful Bavaria, the Alps and every part of Europe she can manage to reach by boots, boats, blades and bicycles!

Since I started working at the Lilli & Lori International Preschool on January 7^th 2009 I wanted to introduce myself to you.

My name is Birgit Holler-Diagne, I am 42 years old and I have 2 sons (17 and 13 years old).

I am a state recognized Preschool teacher with an international diploma in Montessori special education. I always worked at regular Preschools, some of them Montessori, some of them public, some of them catholic.

I enjoy working with children very much. I play the guitar and I do the music class at Lilli & Lori.

I am looking forward to working together harmoniously with your children, you, as parents and the other staff members.

There lies a song in every thing
who sound forever on and on
and the world begins to sing
if you find the magical word…
