Spring Zhang

Hi, I’m Jingchun Zhang, You can just call me Mrs. Spring. I’m the Principal of all three LiMai Montessori schools I'm AMI (American Montessori Internationale) trained and have also earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Chinese Art & Literature from the Communication University of China. My educational background allows me to offer your children a relevant and historical understanding of the Mandarin language and Chinese culture. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with your precious child. It’s such an incredible, amazing experience for me. Before coming to LiMai, I worked in the Media industry for over 10 years. I was the Editor in Chief of His Life magazine, a famous lifestyle magazine in China. I worked for Vogue China magazine as the Senior Features Editor and prior to Vogue, I was the Deputy Director of Robb Report China magazine. Everything was perfect until my daughter, Joy, was born. She completely changed my life! When she was two years old, Beijing's smog had gotten so bad that we couldn't even let her play outside! My husband and I made the hardest decision of our lives, leave Beijing and come to a whole new world. I joined an Executive MBA program at Chapman University. During a school break, I met 2 wonderful women- one was the owner of a Montessori school in Napa Valley, CA and the other woman was a board member of a chain of Montessori schools in Southern California. I was already a big fan of Maria Montessori so we hit it off immediately. These wonderful women encouraged me to pursue my love of the Montessori Method. That’s why now I’m here and I really enjoy every minute I work with you and your child as a Montessorian. I’m so grateful that I ‘ve found my true passion for the rest of my life.
