My name is Anne Reiman and I am the owner and head teacher of The Nest Early Learning Center. I have been a full-time licensed educator for grades prek-2nd for the past eight years in Ohio, South Korea and Guatemala. I hold a B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Miami University and a M.Ed. in Special Education from Kent State University. I completed my student teaching in Australia and have participated in various mission trips both locally and abroad. For the past 7 years, I have been studying Reggio-inspired programs and have taught at a school that valued Reggio-inspired learning, STEAM and project-based learning. I have always had a dream to open my own school and in September of 2018, that dream came true! Reggio-inspired programs are rare and Reggio programs that are also Christ-centered are almost non-existent in our area. The Nest is the only Christ-centered and Reggio-inspired preschool in all of Summit County. I reside in Cuyahoga Falls with my husband (Danny), two sons (Charlie and Theodore), and dog (Dexter)!

My name is Karen Alberson. I studied Early Childhood Education and Family and Consumer Studies at Kent State University. I worked many years teaching children from infancy to school-age. I live in Akron with my husband and 3 children, Zach (22), Hannah (21), and Sarah (18). My husband Don and I will soon be celebrating our 24th anniversary. My passions are music and reading. I look forward to sharing these passions with your children this year.

“Hello, my name is Tiffany I am excited to get back to my roots working with toddlers and our new Intro to Preschool class. I have been working with children for 16 years and love what I do. I have a degree in Early Childhood Development as well as Theater Arts, a license in Sign Language, and I am TEFL certified. I am also excited to be teaching Zumba again. I have 2 daughters at home, Emersyn who is a former Nest student, and my 1 year old, Eleanor. When I'm not working at The Nest, I like to go on walks with my girls and my husband Paul, run with my dog Brownie, bake with my daughter, or work on my small candle business. I am so excited to work with your child this year and I am looking forward to another wonderful year at The Nest.

My name is Cheryl Shuber. I attended Eastern Kentucky University where I received my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Development and Education. While attending college I met my husband, Tim, and we have been married for 38 years. We have five adult children. They are Ben, Rose, Katie, Heidi, and Aaron. We have one adorable granddaughter, Hannah. While raising my own children I kept very busy. I was a nanny for many years and I volunteered at my children's preschool. I also worked in a daycare as an infant/toddler teacher for 16 years. This is my 4th year at The Nest and I am excited to get to know all of your children!

Hello! My name is Miss Carol and I am so excited to be back at The Nest this year! My son attended The Nest for three years and it was everything I could have dreamed of in a preschool. My youngest son will be enrolling in 2024! Teaching has always been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I love seeing the "Ah-ha!" moment when something clicks in a child's brain. I have 13 years of experience in this field. In my free time I enjoy reading, crocheting, and spending time with my sons Maverick and Myles.
