Greetings, my name is Todd Van Hoesen. I grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts and graduated from Bridgewater State College with a B.S. in Sociology. I worked as a behavioral specialist in several schools before turning my interest to teaching. After the birth of my daughter in 2005, I became a stay at home dad and ran an in-home daycare for the next five years. While searching for a school to send my daughter to kindergarten, I discovered Haven and the Montessori Method. I did more research and knew this was my opportunity to teach children in a way that was considerate to the “whole child” and not just academics. I earned my Early Childhood Certificate in Boulder, Colorado at the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies and returned to Haven in 2012 to lead the Aspen classroom. I still serve in that role and am also the Primary Program Curriculum Director.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside with my family and dogs mountain biking, hiking, camping, skiing, and gardening.
