Faculty & Staff

Sarah earned her B.A. in Psychology from Syracuse University, where she developed a strong foundation in child development and a lasting curiosity about how children grow - physically, socially, emotionally, cognitively, and linguistically.  Over the past nine years, her experience as a parent, co-op parent helper, and lead teacher at Fort Hunt Preschool has deepened that understanding, and more importantly, shown her the incredible value of learning and growing together within a cooperative community.  These experiences reinforced her belief that children thrive in environments built on connection, curiosity, collaboration, and a strong sense of community.  

A native of the DC/Northern Virgina area, Sarah lives with her husband and their three children.  Outside the classroom, she enjoys coaching her daughters' soccer team, spending time outdoors with her family, and attending outdoor concerts.  She is always on the lookout for a great live band or new artists to add to the playlist, so music recommendations are always welcome!  Her family is equally happy exploring a trail or settling in for a quiet day at home. They value the simple, often unexpected moments that bring people together.  

Sarah is excited to create an environment where children feel known, supported, and inspired to explore.  She is looking forward to being a part of a cooperative community where children are encouraged to wonder and develop confidence in who they are and how they contribute to the world around them. 

Alexandria (Ali) Miller grew up in Mansfield, Texas, and earned her degree in Education from the University of Texas at Arlington. Her early experiences as a dancer and an aunt inspired her love for working with young children and supporting their creativity and growth. Through her involvement in Tri Delta and its philanthropic partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, she developed a deep commitment to making a meaningful difference in children’s lives.

Ali brings the values she learned through dance — discipline, teamwork, creativity, and self-expression — into the classroom. She is dedicated to fostering a safe, respectful, and joyful environment where each child feels known and celebrated. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, staying active, and savoring a good cup of coffee.

Casey Myers is a Weston, West Virginia native, bringing four years of teaching assistant experience and some co-lead teacher experience to Tauxemont Cooperative Preschool. She earned her associate's degree in medical administration/information technology in 2009 and worked in medical offices as a records clerk. She is currently enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College and taking courses to complete an Education degree, while earning hands-on experience.

Casey is excited to provide positive guidance within an inclusive classroom, assisting and supporting the children of Tauxemont towards their individual educational goals. She believes that she found her love of teaching within the small community of Tauxemont when both of her children attended. She held a position on the board, which furthered her love and knowledge of the community. Outside of school, Casey enjoys attending a family book club, exploring new places, and spending time with her family and friends.
