Jennifer McConnell

Hailing from UW, Head of School. Jennifer McConnell brings a background in business administration, sales, marketing and accounting. After earning her NAMTA Certificate in Montessori Administration, Jennifer took the helm at MCH, after Jennifer's mother and MCH founder, Linda Baker, retired. With 19 years at the school, Jennifer founded the Infant/Toddler program and the Middle School program at MCH, collaborated on the development of the Elementary program and managed several campus expansions, including Building C that now houses our Upper School classrooms along with the Infant/Toddler classrooms. Jennifer’s “nature-inspired” vision for the school was the catalyst for introducing farm animals on campus, starting a hands-on garden for students, inspired nature trails, and overseeing the construction of the amazing Upper School natural playground. Under her direction, the school has grown from four classrooms to 13, and from 84 students to over 230 students. When she's not working, Jennifer loves to garden, camp, read, and travel with her family. Both of her children are alumni of the school. ​
