Megan received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology with a Concentration in Teaching English as a Second Language from Gordon College. She has been working in the field of early childhood education since 2007 when she quickly discovered her passion for supporting the development and learning of young children. Throughout the years she has worked with classrooms of all ages ranging from infants through prekindergarten, particularly teaching 3, 4 & 5 year olds. Her leadership roles began with a large focus on curriculum and instruction and have guided her to her most recent position as the Director at Community Nursery School. Megan cares deeply about forming authentic and meaningful connections​​ with the children, families and teachers she works alongside, forming a partnership within the community. She believes in the importance of setting the scene for success and in providing the time, space and opportunity for growth. She does so through leading by example and working alongside her fellow educators, parents and children. Megan joined CNS in July, 2024 and is looking forward to the many years to come within the wonderful community not only as Director, but also as Mom to a current CNS child.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Shana received her BA from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York. After graduating, she spent well over a decade working in talent management and talent acquisition. While she enjoyed her time in the corporate world, she ultimately decided to step away and landed her role as Community Coordinator. Shana started her journey at CNS at the age of three in what is today called our Yellow Door. She spent much of her childhood within the walls of this special place as her mother, Joanne Pressman, worked as director here for several years. When she is not at CNS, Shana enjoys spending time with her husband, two young boys and two dogs!

Heather received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Hartwick College and has many years of experience in a Waldorf/ Montessori inspired cooperative preschool prior to her years at CNS. Being part of a community and forming relationships with families has been a very joyful part of her job. She loves bringing her passion for color, beautiful materials, enchanting play spaces, and children’s picture books into her work with the children. Designing vignettes for storytelling and small world play is another way she likes to create magic and spark imaginations. She has an ever growing interest in exploring the themes of emotions, compassion, kindness, and diversity through stories, art and play. She is also a seasoned movement specialist, bringing yoga and creative movement to the children to encourage body awareness, mindfulness, connection, and creativity. The beautiful and holistic education her now grown children received in Waldorf education continues to inform and inspire the magic she wishes to create for all children.​
