2026-27 STEAM

Michele loves having the opportunity to guide families at the very beginning of their child’s learning journey and to show them just how joyful and exciting these foundational years can be.

One of her favorite parts of ECFE is building meaningful connections with both children and their parents or caregivers. She loves exploring and learning together and watching families discover all of the amazing things their children are capable of accomplishing.

Michele hopes families leave ECFE feeling more confident in their learning journey while also building lasting, supportive friendships with other families in their community.

Her message to families is at the heart of what ECFE is all about: “Parents and caregivers are a child’s very first teachers, and ECFE is a wonderful place to share the joy of learning together!”

Anna is an ECFE Parent Educator who believes parenting education can be a powerful tool in helping families thrive. This is her third year teaching ECFE, following four years of working with families through case management. Her passion for supporting families eventually led her back to school to pursue parenting education.

Anna hopes families leave their ECFE experience with greater confidence, helpful skills, meaningful connections, and a sense of camaraderie with other families who are navigating many of the same stages of parenting.

For families who are new to ECFE, Anna has a simple message: Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. She hopes your time in ECFE is encouraging and helpful for both you and your child and wants families to know that the ECFE team is here to support them along the way.
