Mrs. Bola Kalejaiye is the Director of Learning, and also the school's founder. She is a second- career teacher whose first degree is in Computer Science. She received her Montessori certification in early childhood education (ages 2.5 to 6) from the National Center for Montessori Education in Houston, Texas. She is AMS (American Montessori Society) trained for elementary I and II (ages 6 to 12) at the Houston Montessori Center. Mrs. K., as she is often called, has an intense passion to see children develop the right way. She is a strong advocate of the Montessori philosophy. She has taught in the school at the children's House, lower elementary and upper elementary levels. She is moving out of a permanently assigned classroom so she can manage student learning at all levels, curriculum sufficiency, adequacy of learning resources and staff development.

She has years of experience in performance monitoring & improvement, business development, and supply management in a variety of industries. She keeps the Discovery House machine well-oiled, and it is quite a job. She manages all resources - human, capital and operational. She administers all school policies and procedures, and is also the focal point for all external agencies. Her passion for the children and her understanding of Montessori principles have made it quite tempting to have her in the classroom, but her resourcefulness and drive make it impossible to move her from administration.
