Meet Our Director

 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:

As I walk the halls of ATB&B, the smiles, giggles, and busy conversations remind us that early childhood is when the work of play sparks curiosity and creativity which we know are key characteristics of self-assured life-long learners. Hearing my faculty introduce themes, intentionally discuss how they will use space, books, and materials to tease out early learning goals, it is evident that not only are they passionate about engaging each and every student, but also that they know each and every student as an individual who is exploring their world. Each interaction that I witness cements for me that ATB&B is a place where the magic of learning is realized in the doors that both the small and the big moments of play create. I love nothing more than being in our classrooms and sharing in the joy and wonder of discovery with all of our students!

I taught, coached, and planned whole school interdisciplinary programming at Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica and, prior to joining ATB&B as Director, I was the Dean of Academics at Baker Demonstration School in Wilmette. I have lived in Kenilworth for almost 14 years with my husband, two teenage daughters, and our menagerie of pets. As a family, we love learning about the world together through travel.
