Hello, my name is Nathan. I am currently the Co-lead teacher in the LA room. I have been with ISW since 2019 when I started in the Pre-K classroom. Then in 2021 I started working LA class! I am currently attending Washtenaw Community College with the goal of obtaining a degree in early childhood education. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends as well as relaxing at home or, if the weather is nice outside. I also enjoy most types of card and board games as well as reading books.

My name is Ms. Amanda, I am a mom of six. I started at ISW in 2016 in the infant classroom.  I moved into the Preschool classroom in 2019 and then when ISW opened the Happy Hopper classroom I knew it was for me!  I love helping children with potty training and encouraging them to become independent.  I am a huge Tigers fan, I go to as many games as I can! I am a very color person with over 70 tattoos! :) A good time for me would be road tripping, reading, geocaching, bowling, going to concerts, or the beach.

Hello, my name is Miriam and I am a Honduran-born art teacher and child-care provider.  Over the years I have worked professionally with kids from all ages, from newborns all the way to 12th grad.  I have earned my Child Care Professional Associate in Applied Science at Washtenaw Community College.  I have over 12 years of professional childcare experience prior to joining the team here at ISW in 2021.

I am fluent in English and Spanish but I believe kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.  My husband and I have been married for over 30 years.  We have two children who are engineers and musicians.

Hello! My name is Barbara! I started at ISW in 2020 as an assistant teacher here in the infant room, and I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to move up to being the lead teacher! I have loved working with infants and toddlers since I was a teen, and now I am in school working towards a degree in Early Childhood Development. In my free time, I’m a huge trivia buff and I love playing board games whenever I get the chance.
