 Bharati Shapero

Kindergarten-First Grade Teacher

     

Bharati Shapero returns to Mountain Road School for her second year in the K-1.  Bharati comes from a background in teaching, camp directing and yoga. Before earning her Masters degree in Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, she worked with kids in a multi-age camp setting. The camp focused on nurturing the entire being: body and heart. As director, she brought with her a certification in Hatha Yoga and a passion for the education of the whole child within a community setting.

Since 1997, Bharati has worked with children in underprivileged urban areas along the East coast bringing with her literacy, a love for learning, and a deep caring for children. After completing her Bachelor of the Arts degree in Anthropology at the University of Virginia, she headed north, reading with and teaching kids in Washington D.C., New York City, and Western Massachusetts.

Bharati enjoys yoga, hiking, reading, baking, music, and learning new things everyday from her students, peers, and environment.
