Kyle Phibbs (He/Him)

Elementary Lead Guide

Serving Mountain Shadows since 2024


Kyle is a Colorado native and has lived in the state for most of his life. He holds a B.A. in Theatre from Colorado State University and recently completed his AMI 6-12 Elementary training. With over a decade of experience working in education, Kyle has found a true passion for helping children learn, explore, and develop their own interests and independence.

This is Kyle’s third year at Mountain Shadows International Montessori, and he is incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful home in the Montessori community. He is excited to continue growing as an educator alongside such a thoughtful and dedicated team. For Kyle, working at Mountain Shadows truly feels like a dream job, bringing together his love of education, creativity, and working with children.

Outside of school, Kyle enjoys playing board games with friends and family, cooking, gardening, and working on creative projects. He loves making things with his hands, exploring new hobbies, and trying new experiences whenever he gets the chance. He also enjoys spending time outdoors and finding new ways to bring creativity and curiosity into everyday life.

There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees, and all the life to be found around them, in a real forest.
