Spirit In Action

Julie Harnisch has been a teacher, administrator and advocate for Children's House Montessori School of Eau Claire, Wisconsin since 1980. Children's House Montessori School of Eau Claire is Montessori education in line with the vision and principles originally developed by Maria Monessori for schools in the slums of Rome, Italy. Children's House students are primarily (70%) from at-risk/low income families in Eau Claire, mixing races, cultures and socioeconomic levels in a fertile place to grown and learn. Julie Harnisch grew up American Baptist but finds her inspiration and support primarily in the experience and inspiration of Montessori education.
