Faculty

Ashley Dunn - Director and Lead Teacher

Ashley has lovingly worked with families and children for over a decade, and began her journey by serving families and infants as a Postpartum Doula. After relocating to Athens, she began working in a Montessori classroom with three to six year olds where she realized teaching young children was where her heart belonged. After spending time homeschooling her own child, Ashley returned to teaching young children, this time outdoors, as a forest kindergarten teacher. During her time teaching in the forest, Ashley began following her dream of pursuing her Waldorf teacher certification.  Ashley holds Certification in Early Childhood training through Lifeways North America, with additional certification in Birth to Age Three and Early Childhood Learning in Nature. When not working with children, Ashley can be found meandering through the forest with loved ones, practicing fiber arts, and baking.
