Meet the Business Owner

Shima D.

Business Owner

Whispering Oak Montessori Academy is the realization of a dream Shima Daniels has had since she was a five-​year-​old playing schoolhouse at her home in Singapore. Today, she brings to that dream a great deal of management and teaching experience, as well as a special knack for developing creative programs for children. She has over 15 years of teaching experience working with very young children, which began in Singapore, where she managed a Music Academy, and then went on to join with her best friend in establishing an international Montessori school in Sri Lanka. She also gained valuable business management experience along the way, both at the Music Academy, and as Project Manager for several Board of Investments Projects in Sri Lanka, Japan, China and Singapore.
