Sara Becker (she/her)

Sara is the founder and director of Wildwood. She has been working with children for 20 years. Her studies were focused on Early Childhood Education, and her work has had her in classrooms, educational and enrichment programs, and employed by private families. Over the years, she has watched many of her brightest children struggle in a traditional classroom. When her own child had the same experience with the traditional classroom, Sara found a farm and forest preschool where her child thrived. When her child aged out of that program, Wildwood was born.

Ashley (she/they)

Ash is the co director and centering force of our school. The children and families all feel grounded by their presence and inspired by her ideas. Ash is led by the interests of the children and works endlessly to bring creative and new ideas to Wildwood. Social and emotional growth in our program is incredibly important, and Ash has proven to be a trusted guide to many of our families and kiddos. Ashley studied early education and psychology in Maine and later nature-based education at Antioch. We are so lucky to have them at Wildwood.
