“As an early childhood specialist myself, I had very high standards for my child’s first foray into the world of “school,” and Anna’s program has exceeded every single one. From the first day, she welcomed our queer family authentically. Her calm, confident demeanor puts children at ease and infuses the classroom with peace. Because of the program’s small size and Anna’s consistency, our child was able to form a trusting, loving relationship with her, and that was the necessary foundation for the friendships she formed with her classmates. We deeply appreciate Anna and her focus on fostering social and emotional learning. We love the fact that kids get outside nearly everyday, that they don’t have screen time at school, and that the program is small and intimate. We couldn’t be happier at Medley Village!”

“As a parent, I loved that my daughter had the opportunity to attend Medley Village because of the beautiful and stimulating learning environment, the focus on nature, and the freedom she was given to express herself and explore new topics. She became close friends with her classmates and was so proud to be a member of Medley Village.”

“My two sons were blessed to have Anna as a teacher from when they were toddlers until they were ready for kindergarten. Anna is passionate and knowledgeable about the Montessori method and allowed her students interests and curiosities to lead their classroom projects, rather than dictating what it was the class would focus on. She nurtured my boys love of art and the outdoors and created a safe place for them to explore their budding interests and ideas. She is kind, patient and unequivocally one of the best pre-school teachers they were lucky enough to have.””

“My favorite part of Medley Village is seeing my friends and teacher and learning.”

“Medley Village has been instrumental in our daughters growth and education. Anna has created a vibrant community of little learners with all the right tools. We appreciate her use of natural materials, child-led exploration, gentle music and a solid daily rhythm to spark creativity and provide stability and structure to help kids feel safe. We’ve watched our daughter blossom socially, creatively and academically at Medley. Anna helps parents feel involved too with weekly tid bits, kids quotes and photos from their weekly adventures. It’s a wonderful community that we’re proud to have our daughter thrive in!”

“Medley Village is a place filled with love, joy, and exploration. Anna has the gift of genuine warmth and honest acceptance. Not only does she understand what it means to provide an environment for children that is free of pressure and unrealistic expectations, but she is also adept at finding the unique and bright light nestled in the heart of each child. She embraces each little person in her presence for exactly who they are. When it comes to a preschool teacher who provides a warm, heart-centered environment full of learning opportunities, friendship, and discovery, Anna is truly a dream. ”
