Being the 2s the first experience in school, Ms. Ana makes sure her students feel loved and nurtured. She is very patient and fun. Her goal as a teacher is to inspire and educate children about learning another language and culture. Ms. Ana loves children and crafting.

She hopes to foster an environment where kids can grow socially and emotionally and loves to dance, draw, and even cook with kids. Most importantly, learning should be fun!
Ms. LeighAnn is an Arizona native (with a little Seattle spice!) who brings joy, creativity, and lots of curiosity into the classroom. She’s a proud mom to a 13-year-old daughter.
Her journey to teaching started as a computer programmer, then as a wellness practitioner with a degree in Transformational Psychology—bringing calming tools into her classroom to help little ones navigate big feelings. She’s also a creative at heart and has self-published books.
Erin was born in San Diego, California and moved to Arizona in 2010. She has over 15 years of experience with children and is patient, nurturing, organized, and friendly.
You’ll see her during pick up time in the AM classes through the end of our sessions, helping with payments and guiding families through what we do—with a smile!
