About Us
We are both passionate educators with more than 15 years' experience in teaching. We are excited to share our love for photography, art and nature with your children!
Anna Holm
Anna entered the education world upon graduating from the University of San Francisco in 2007 with a dual degree in Fine Art and Psychology. Although Anna loves working with children of all ages, she started nannying and fell in love with the early childhood field. She moved to teaching preschool for a desire to collaborate with peers and to work in new ways with children in the classroom and the natural world. Anna graduated with a Masters in Early Childhood Education from San Francisco State University in 2016. She enjoys how children are natural and creative scientists allowing them to constantly learn through their experiences large and small. In her free time, Anna is an artist and loves working in a variety of mediums, primarily woodworking and photography. She especially enjoys being a mom and parenting identical twin preschoolers with her husband, traveling, visiting museums, and spending time outdoors to continually be inspired.
