Ana Chehelmard

Golden Poppy Preschool Assistant

Ana was a data analyst, fascinated by patterns and problem-solving before working in preschools. She soon realized she was drawn to understanding the patterns of how children grow and learn through play, rhythm, and discovery.

She loves long-distance running for its rhythm and perseverance, much like a child developing a new skill at their own pace. Her passion for plants and propagation reflects her belief that with patience and care, both plants and a child’s confidence can flourish in the right environment.

She fell in love with Waldorf education when her son started Kindergarten at Davis Waldorf School and appreciates its deep connection to nature, creativity, and hands-on learning.

M.S. in Statistics, University of California, Irvine
