Mari Bower

Mari joined MCR as the Assistant Executive Director in 2020 and moved into the primary Executive Director role the following year. Prior to joining MCR, Mari stayed home with her daughter Lucia, who is now a Kindergartener at MCR. Mari fell in love with the Montessori philosophy after seeing the wonderful impact it had on her daughter.

As the Executive Director, Mari is excited about her role in supporting the staff, student and parent community who share in her passion for Montessori education. She feels lucky to be a part of it all and coming to work each day is a truly a pleasure.

Mari lives in Cincinnati and in her time away from school, she enjoys cooking for her family and friends, traveling to new places, and spending time outside. Trying new foods and crafting with her daughter are some of her favorite things.
