Hi! I am Miss Anna. I’m a passionate preschool teacher who loves watching little minds grow through play, creativity, and curiosity. I strive to create a warm and welcoming space where every child feels safe, loved, and free to be themselves. There’s nothing better than seeing the joy and wonder in their eyes as they learn and explore day.

Hello! I’ve always had a passion for helping others and over the past 30 years I’ve dedicated my time to volunteering in a variety of roles. Being part of the Oakland Co-op Play School community feels as natural to me as riding bike – it’s where I truly feel at home. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from UC Davis and an associate of science degree, and I love combining fun with problem-solving to support our students and teachers. Helping our amazing teacher and kids reach their goals is always my top priority specially after seeing the incredible growth my own children experience in this program. I’m excited to continue building a nurturing inspiring environment where all our kids can thrive and shine.
