Dr. Maggie Buley: Education Director



Dr. Maggie is the founder of Stellar Academy. She has a Ph.D. in Education and has totally transformed education for young children.

Dr. Maggie has extensive knowledge of brain-based learning strategies and Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

Dr. Maggie believes that school readiness starts at birth and can be greatly enhanced during the early childhood years. She knows that learning occurs as the brain rewires itself with each new experience. Presenting the appropriate experiences at the right time is essential.

Dr. Maggie's life's work is not only to understand educational theory, but to put that theory into practice. To that end, she has been very successful. Creating the optimum learning environment has won Dr. Maggie many accolades. In addition to being a multiple recipient of Teacher of the Year, Dr. Maggie was chosen as an outstanding teacher by USA Today.

We know the knowledge and dedication of Dr. Maggie makes Stellar Academy the ultimate environment for your child
