NPNS Teachers

My name is Leah Powell. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Sonoma State University back in 2018 in Early Childhood Development and I chose this field of work because I am a huge believer that these early years are such a crucial and special time for children to build their confidence, curiosity, and lifelong love of learning. It brings me so much joy to watch children grow and discover the world around them and I am always so excited and honored to be a part of this chapter with them!

​

Over the past year, I have worked as a Preschool director at a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool where I have supported teachers, partnered with families, and helped create an overall meaningful learning experience for children. My background also includes working in a Montessori preschool, giving me a well-rounded perspective on child-led early childhood education philosophies.

I am so excited to be a part of a school coop community that values strong relationships, collaboration, and helping every child feel seen, valued, and inspired to learn!
