    Robin has been with us since 2020 - she is overloaded with excitement, enthusiasm, and creativity! And she gets to use all of that creativity to help kids find ways in which they learn best!

  • Jessica Jaro (she/her)

    Elementary Teacher

    Jessica was born and raised in metro south Boston and has spent over a decade working with kids and families, blending her early education background with a deep love for nature, movement, and creativity. Sheโ€™s passionate about giving diverse learners time to follow their curiosities and connect with the world around them. When sheโ€™s not in the classroom, youโ€™ll find her dancing, hiking new trails, or diving deep into the oceanโ€”literally.

  • Jes Malone (she/her)

    Middle/High Teacher

    Jes is a deep thinker and a star lover. Her philosophy degree fits perfectly with the age group in which she guides - teens who want (and need) to question, challenge, and push the status quo. Jesโ€™ calming energy has been grounding the entire school - kids and adults - since 2021. When sheโ€™s not at school, youโ€™ll find her reading, listening to music (likely Phish), or gardening.

  • Robyn Fatseas (she/her)

    Pediatric Therapist

    Robyn is the unicorn child psychologist youโ€™ve dreamed about. She is unbelievably educated, experienced, and brilliant. She is also creative, curious, and compassionate (just like all of our kids are!) Trust the kids when they tell you - sheโ€™s pure magic. Weโ€™re lucky enough to have had Robyn as part of our team since 2021.
