Our Teaching Community
Experienced educators connected by a shared commitment to children, nature, and learning through play.
Our team brings together diverse backgrounds, years of early childhood experience, and a shared belief that children learn best through secure relationships, hands-on exploration, and time in nature.
Meet Our School Family
Our educators bring a mix of early childhood credentials, college degrees, long-term classroom experience, and specialized training in child development, social-emotional learning, and nature-based education.
Frog Pond supports ongoing professional development, including Conscious Discipline, health and safety training, and reflective teaching practices that strengthen the experience we provide for children and families.
Director of School Family
Ms. Evelyn Evans
Teaching is my passion, not my paycheck. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in K–12 Special Education and a Master’s degree in Curriculum, Modification, and Instruction. I am also a certified Nature Teacher (Level 1) and serve as Chair of the Fairfax County Child Care Advisory Council.
Inspired by Dr. Becky Bailey and Bev Bos, I believe children learn with their whole bodies. Our work centers social-emotional development, connection before correction, and meaningful experiences that help children become confident learners and thoughtful stewards of the earth. At Frog Pond, love is an action word and a service we provide every day.
