About Rosa Covington Packard

A longtime resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, Rosa was born in New York City in 1935 and grew up in Princeton, New Jersey. A 1956 graduate of Vassar College, she received her Montessori diploma in 1963, and she worked for many years as an educational consultant to Montessori schools.

She designed and led Montessori teacher training workshops around the U.S., including at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where the Oglala Lakota participants affectionately nicknamed her “Pepper.” Rosa’s 1972 book, The Hidden Hinge (published by Ballantine Books), about the Montessori method, continues to be used in teacher training courses today.
