|  | Who Is Dr. Ursula Thrush?
 The
late Dr. Ursula Thrush, Ph.D. phil., mastermind behind this project,
championed Maria Montessori's teachings for over 30 years and is the
founder of the Maria Montessori School of the Golden Gate in San
Francisco. Her powerful spirit and dedication to Maria Montessori's
vision was awe inspiring. Ursula's eagerness to teach Montessori values
was not only limited to the children, all of which she loved dearly,
but also to adults. Starting in 1972 she taught and trained parents,
teachers and employers about the benefits of fostering the development
of physically, mentally and spiritually balanced children. Dr. Thrush
personally appointed all of the current Directors and Head Teachers at
the Maria Montessori School of the Golden Gate. All of us here are very
proud of our founder and also so very fortunate that we are able to
carry on her life's work.
Dr. Thrush also authored many books and developed teaching aids.
