Lauren Parrish has been dedicated to early childhood education for six years, with the past four spent at Lifespan Montessori. As the Director, she loves getting to know all the children and families in the school, fostering a warm and welcoming community beyond just a single classroom.

Based in Athens, GA, Lauren enjoys life with her two-year-old son, Liam, and their black lab, Alba. When she’s not at school, you can find her indulging in her favorite hobbies—embroidering, reading, and caring for her houseplants.

A lover of music, Lauren’s top picks include Glass Animals and Sierra Ferrell. She’s also a big fan of Moulin Rouge and can never say no to a good slice of pizza!
