Saba Zaman

Lead Guide

Saba Zaman is the Lead Guide in the Sassafras Toddler Community. She began at OMMS in 2022 and is completing her Montessori Infant / Toddler Lead Guide Certification through the Center for Guided Montessori Studies. She is just a few credits shy of an undergraduate degree in Biology.

Before coming to OMMS, Saba had the opportunity to work as both a Classroom Assistant and Co-Guide at another Montessori school. She is the second oldest of 6 siblings and considers her big family to be such a gift; they inspire and fuel her. As someone who sort of collects hobbies, she particularly loves cooking, any outdoor activity, and plants. A quote that inspires her is, “How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.” ― George Washington Carver. It’s particularly relevant for the work that we do in the classroom!

What our Community Says

“We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Oak Meadow Montessori family. I enrolled my daughter when she was 17 months and while I was extremely nervous to send her to school, I knew after meeting the staff that Oak Meadow Montessori School was a special place. My child is now 3, and as a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the incredible impact this institution has had on my child’s development and growth. The dedicated and passionate educators go above and beyond to create a positive and enriching learning experience. Whether it’s a school event parents attend or pictures from the school day the guides send us, it’s heartwarming to see all the children from various backgrounds come together, learn from one another and celebrate different cultures. I have no doubt that the values and skills my child has acquired here will serve as a solid foundation for a bright and successful future. Thank you to the staff for making Oak Meadow Montessori School a safe and enjoyable place for my child to go. We couldn’t be happier!”

Masuma

“As a family who has had 5 children at Oak Meadow Montessori School, we firmly believe our children have had the best Montessori education available. The teachers and administration together are like a family who love our children and are always looking out in all respects for their wellbeing.

The school fosters a supportive parent community with seasonal get-togethers and monthly parent coffee talk meetings. There are multiple opportunities to volunteer and share in the growth of the school. The teachers and administration are open for all communication, as well as being very visible at drop off and pick up.

I know when I drive away each morning that my children’s wellbeing and education are the top priority of the administration and staff. We will be forever grateful for Oak Meadow Montessori School. Thank you for providing our children the love, awareness of self and educational excellence that is unique to a Montessori education.”
