Meet our team

Hi, I'm Tiffany, an Early Interventionist at the Modern Playspace. With a background in Art Education, I furthered my expertise through courses in Early Childhood Education and Special Education, complemented by obtaining relevant employment certificates. Over the past 12 years since graduating, I have gained extensive experience working with a diverse age group ranging from newborns to middle school children. This journey has enriched my teaching portfolio, allowing me to develop a profound understanding of educational needs across various developmental stages.

I am committed to delivering high-quality services to children in schools, families, and on-site environments, focusing on designing classrooms that cater to the development of social skills, behavioral growth, communication abilities, and physical development. Incorporating art and music into the curriculum is a strategy I employ to facilitate a smoother transition into the learning state for my students. I engage with children in multiple settings, including one-on-one sessions, social play, and traditional classroom environments. My primary goal is to foster early childhood development and learning through play, with a particular focus on the San Francisco area.

My name is Nikki, and I am a dedicated teacher at the Modern Playspace, as well as a proud mother to three little boys. My admiration for the field of education runs deep, and I firmly believe in the importance of continuous personal and professional growth to keep pace with our evolving society. With three years of professional training in education, I have achieved 12 Early Childhood Education certifications, underscoring my commitment to excellence in this field.

I have a passion for working with children, focusing on enhancing their language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Additionally, I actively participate in their creative social game groups, which I believe plays a crucial role in enriching their lives. Through these interactions, I strive to foster a nurturing environment where we can grow and learn together, paving the way for a brighter future for all of us.

Hi, I'm Karen Sibrian, a dedicated teacher at the Modern Playspace, where I find immense joy and fulfillment in working with children. My passion for early childhood development drives me to continuously enhance my knowledge and skills in this field through further education. I have the privilege of working with children as young as 6 months old, and nothing compares to the joy I experience at the Modern PlaySpace. Watching these young minds grow and develop under my guidance is both rewarding and inspiring. Being a teacher to these wonderful children not only brings me happiness but also motivates me to contribute positively to their early learning experiences.

Hi, my name is Tracy, and I'm a proud graduate of San Francisco State University, class of 2023, where I majored in Child Development. Currently, I hold the position of Lead Teacher at the Modern Playspace. My journey in the field of early childhood education spans over two years, during which I've specialized as an early interventionist working with children who experience developmental delays and those on the autism spectrum.

An interesting aspect of my personality is my love for food. I have a particular interest in exploring a variety of cuisines from different countries, which I find deeply enriching. My passion for working with children is driven by a profound belief in the impactful role I play in their lives. I take great pride in offering support to both children and their families, assisting them in navigating and overcoming their challenges. This work not only allows me to contribute positively to their growth but also brings a deep sense of fulfillment and pride in the difference I make.

Hi, my name is Hazel Chan, and I am currently serving as a teacher at the Modern Playspace. My educational journey led me to graduate from a university in Hong Kong, where I earned a degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. My professional experience encompasses working with a wide age range of children, from infants to school-aged. I specialize in supporting children with language delays and those who require assistance in their overall development.

I am a staunch advocate for early intervention and hold a firm belief that children learn best through play and exploration. The joy and fulfillment I derive from working with children, observing their growth, and being an integral part of their developmental journey is immeasurable. Engaging with children through play not only aids in their growth but also allows me the privilege to witness and contribute to their developmental milestones, which is both rewarding and deeply gratifying.
