Pamela Skutt
Executive Director
I have over 20 years experience working with children of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and special needs. I am married with four children, 2 of whom my husband and I had the privilege to adopt through the foster care system, where we were foster parents for over 12 years. I have my associate’s in child development and my Montessori certification from ADMTEI in Adrian, Michigan.
After working in a variety of other centers, I found my passion for Montessori when I became an assistant teacher in an infant/toddler Montessori classroom. From there my love and knowledge of the philosophy grew, and I decided to move up to the 3-6 year old classroom and get my certification to become a lead teacher. I went on to teach for an additional 6 years.
I am now honored to lead this school, share my love and passion for the Montessori philosophy, and to work with you and your children to have the best experience possible!

I am currently working towards my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education at Delta College. I am excited to further my experience while working at MCH, and to grow my knowledge of Montessori.
I have 6 pets which include cats, dogs, and a guinea pig, and in my free time I enjoy playing tennis and taking road trips with my family.
I look forward to working with your children, and I can’t wait to watch them grow and gain new skills each day.

Melanie Lopez
Assistant Teacher
I have earned my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education in order to pursue something I love, and I am excited to further my ECE experience with Montessori Children’s House. I have recently moved all the way from the state of Connecticut to Bay City, Michigan, and I look forward to meeting new people and getting to know everyone here at MCH. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with your children, and I am looking forward to getting to know our friends and their families!
Some things that I enjoy doing are spending time with friends and family, drawing, designing, playing the guitar, and talking about music.
I am so excited to make fond memories here at MCH and watch our friends grow and build on their skills each day.
