Gail Marks is the Director of Foundations at First and the lead teacher of our Pre-k classroom. She has been at Foundations at First since 2016 and has been teaching for many years, including the years she spent homeschooling her three children. Because Gail is a Certified Montessori Educator, she uses lots of Montessori methods and theory in her classes. When not teaching Gail loves to read, craft, and spend time with her 9 grandchildren and 2 great grand children, or tutoring local elementary kids. She loves teaching and seeing children's eyes light up when they make a wonderful discovery!
