Mehrnoosh V. Watson, M.S.Ed.
Mehr has over 30 years of experience in the field of education, both as an educational and parenting consultant and as an early childhood and elementary classroom teacher in public and independent schools. In addition to her private consulting practice, Mehr spent many years as a consultant at Work/Family Directions, a national provider of corporate work-life services, where she advised employees of Fortune 500 companies. Her consulting work has successfully focused on supporting and coaching parents to address a range of behavioral, social/emotional, and educational challenges.
Mehr brings together the best of educational philosophies and practices, including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf/Rudolph Steiner, Suzuki, and the Anisa Model for Education, into a coherent vision of the child and a holistic approach to teaching and parenting. Her experience as a certified Mindfulness instructor adds an important dimension to her work with parents. Mehr’s background in the arts and her deep love of nature have given her unique sensitivity and understanding of the nature deficiency that is so rampant among children of this generation.
Her experience as a parent to two daughters has been a consistent source of joy. Now that they are both grown with their own children, Mehr feels they offer a sense of pride and fulfillment to her as well as to the respective worlds they are serving.
