Meet the Team

After homeschooling her four children for seven years, Jasmine founded Creation Acres to make meaningful, child-centered education available to more families. A Northeastern University grad with a B.S. in Business Administration, she’s currently pursuing AMI 12–18 certification as she works with adolescents. Jasmine loves Christian apologetics and enjoys genuinely having fun with her students and getting to know them. 

“Kids will be free here. I’m so excited to create an atmosphere that balances structure and flexibility for the purpose of empowering independent thinkers and learners.”

Akeem Williams is a dedicated and compassionate leader who wears many hats at the school. With a B.S. in Graphic Design from Northeastern University and over 20 years of experience in web development, he designed the school website and manages facilities, maintenance, and operations. As the co-founder and a family man who values his faith, he loves seeing the impact Creation Acres is making for children.

Yasmin is a driven educator who values faith and family. With a Master’s in Early Childhood Education, she is passionate about guiding elementary learners. Currently pursuing AMI 6–12 certification, her experience in Montessori leadership, early intervention, and bilingual instruction supports children in building independence. Yasmin creates hands-on, student-centered experiences that empower children to explore, question, and grow with joy.

Calista brings grace, creativity, and patience to her role as a Primary Guide. Currently pursuing her AMI 3–6 certification, she discovered her love for teaching while serving as a Montessori guide in New Mexico. A former Children’s Ministry Director and teacher at a language immersion school, Calista’s journey—from being homeschooled to joining Creation Acres—reflects her heart for young learners.

“I am honored to be a part of a team of guides whose mission is to provide a safe place for children to genuinely enjoy learning while making Christ the center of every step!”

As a mother of five children, Jenny has devoted more than two decades to working with children through education and faith-based community involvement.  Her time volunteering in the Montessori classroom and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Faith Formation Program deepened her appreciation for nurturing the whole child in mind, heart, and spirit.  She holds a bachelor’s degree from St. John Fisher University. Jenny brings a nurturing presence, patience and joyful passion for working with children.

“I love that Montessori’s philosophy fosters independence, curiosity, and confidence in children.”

Kelsey is goal-oriented, a team player, and passionate about encouraging others. She holds a B.S. in Elementary Education from Evangel University and a TESOL certification. With experience in private, charter, and public schools, Kelsey discovered her love for Montessori education during an internship in Arizona, where she embraced its child-centered, hands-on approach to learning.
