Melissa Bohnet - Treasurer
Melissa moved to Denver in 2011 from her home state Michigan. After owning a cottage in Breckenridge for a large portion of her Denver time, she and her family decided to move where they thrived the most, and became full time residents of Breckenridge in early 2021.
Melissa is also on the Board of Summit County Libraries as the Library Foundation Liaison, and runs a small local business, Peace of Mind Property Checks, LLC.
Her two boys, Cole and Breck, started at Timberline in early 2022. Although her boys only go part-time, Melissa realized how impactful their enrollment has been, and knew she wanted to support Timberline in the best way she knew how. She hopes her CPA background and passion for early childhood education offers support to the staff and stakeholders.
Melissa enjoys good food, travel, family adventures, and almost all things outdoors. I’m so grateful my family and I get to be a part of such a wonderful community and influential organization.

About Timberline:
We are a school for young children from ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Our approach is Reggio Emilia inspired. The following principles guide our approach and curriculum: The child is an active, strong, competent collaborator in the evolution of their learning. The teacher is a guide, rather than an instructor, who observes, questions, researches, documents, reflects, and interprets. The classroom is a teacher unto itself! The relationships that develop between the children, their families, and the teachers create opportunity for growth, reflection, and support. Long-term projects are at the core of our program, using the children’s interests, and the teacher’s observations, as the guide.
