Who We Are
Growing Together at Every Turn
Here at Grace Garden, we grow together—one small moment at a time. Because growth, like childhood, never truly ends.
At Grace Garden, we approach caregiving with gentleness, attentiveness, and responsiveness. We care deeply about creating an environment where children can move at their own pace—exploring freely—while feeling supported through both everyday moments and big emotions. We pay close attention to each child’s unique cues, rhythms, and interests, and see caregiving as a relationship, not just a routine.
We are an inspired Montessori childcare, supported by a team with a strong foundation in psychology. Grace Garden is a unique blend of a high-quality learning environment, professional psychological insight, and the warmth and comfort of a loving home.
Meet the Owner,
Ms. Ana
Hi, I’m Ms. Ana!
I’m so glad you’re here,
and grateful you’re
taking a moment to get to
know me and my path.

I earned my master’s degree in psychology in Iran and spent over ten years working as a child psychologist, supporting children through play and storytelling as gentle pathways to healing and growth.
After moving to the United States, my work with children continued in new and meaningful ways. I began as a babysitter, grew into a Montessori assistant, and eventually became a lead teacher. Each step deepened my love for walking alongside children as they discover who they are and how they move through the world.
I am currently in the process of obtaining my LPC license and hold a deep belief that learning is lifelong—for us as caregivers, and for the children we guide.
I am especially passionate about nurturing emotional awareness, creativity, and a sense of belonging. Whether we’re settling into the day, exploring materials together, or moving through a tricky transition, my goal is always to meet children where they are, with patience, warmth, and presence.
It’s an honor to care for your child, and I don’t take that trust lightly.
Thank you for allowing us to grow together, here at Grace Gardens.
