THE BASICS

Welcome to Room 109! My name is Mrs. Allyson Grillo Dillon and I am 32 years young. This is my sixth year teaching at Washington Montessori. I live with my husband, Luke, and our dog, Zoe. When I am not teaching little minds, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, walking my dog, listening to music, gardening, biking and practicing yoga. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my niece, nephew, and godson. I am thrilled to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher for the 2022-23 school year!
