Jimmi Sivia

Jimmi brings a deep passion for storytelling, organization, and design to her role at MCH. Before joining the school, she spent over a decade in various childcare settings and six years managing dental offices across Seattle, where she honed her skills in operations and team leadership. Ultimately, her creative drive led her to pursue work that aligned more closely with her love for meaningful communication and visual storytelling. She is drawn to MCH for its heartfelt commitment to meeting each child exactly where they are, a value that resonates deeply with her. The Montessori philosophy holds a special place in her heart, and she finds daily inspiration in the work of Dr. Maria Montessori and the dedicated educators at MCH. Jimmi is also a published children’s book author and poet and co-runs an independent children's book publishing company with her husband, specializing in Samoan-language board books. At home, she enjoys life with her husband, their two sons, and their 14-year-old cat. Whether through photography, painting, or writing, she embraces creativity in all forms and loves traveling and adventuring with her family whenever possible.
