Mya Horn
Lead Teacher & Marketing Superhero
If you ever walk past Mya’s classroom, you’ll probably hear giggles, enthusiastic story time voices, or the happy sounds of a messy art project in full swing. As our Lead Teacher, Mya brings boundless energy, warmth, and creativity to our school every single day.
To Mya, teaching is all about family. She treats every child in her classroom like one of her own, creating a cozy, joyful home-away-from-home where kids feel safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow. She loves partnering closely with parents, cheering on every little milestone, and making sure every family feels connected to our community.
When she isn’t busy high-fiving her students or sparking fresh curiosity, Mya loves spending quality time with her own family, hunting for the best coffee in town, and relaxing with a good book.
We are so lucky to have Mya leading our young learners and bringing so much heart to our team!

Anil Singh
Director
Anil wears two very big hats around here, and somehow he makes both look easy! As our Center Director and Teacher, he’s the warm smile welcoming families at the front door each morning and the enthusiastic mentor guiding our kiddos through their biggest learning moments.
Anil firmly believes that a great school feels just like an extended family. He works hard behind the scenes to keep our entire center running smoothly and safely, while remaining fully rooted in the classroom where the magic happens. Whether he’s answering parents’ questions, jumping into a floor activity, or solving a tricky puzzle with a group of toddlers, Anil brings steady leadership, patience, and genuine joy to everything he does.
Outside of keeping our school family running like a well-oiled machine, Anil loves making memories with his own family, staying active outdoors, and sharing a great meal with good friends.
We are so lucky to have Anil leading our community with such dedication, wisdom, and heart!

Gisela Liu
Teacher
Gisela has a special kind of magic that turns learning into a daily adventure. Whether she’s turning a simple lesson into an exciting hands-on game or offering just the right encouragement when a student is trying something new, her classroom is always filled with big smiles and quiet breakthroughs.
Gisela truly sees her students and their parents as an extension of her own family. She works closely with every home to build trust, share joyful updates, and make sure every child feels seen, loved, and celebrated. For Gisela, teaching isn’t just about academics—it’s about helping kids grow into confident, kind, and curious human beings.
When she steps out of teacher mode, Gisela loves making memories with her family, exploring local parks, and trying out fun new recipes in the kitchen.
We are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and warmth Gisela brings to our school family every single day!
