Staff

Albany Preschool is extremely proud of our outstanding and dedicated teaching staff and administration, many of whom were once themselves parents of APS students. Our staff meet all state requirements for their positions and every member has many years of experience working with children. As a cooperative preschool, our students’ learning environment is also enriched by the loving involvement of parent volunteers in the classroom. You can learn a bit about our staff below, but more importantly, please come and visit so that we can meet you in person!

Nancy Martling, Executive Director, AM & PM Teacher

Nancy Martling – Executive Director

Nancy is thrilled to join the families at Albany Preschool! She loves the sense of history, community and the “powered by play” philosophy. Nancy has worked in education for 24 years. She has been a director for both elementary and preschool programs. She lives in Larkspur with her son Aiden and is active in the community. She spends her weekends digging and weeding in the Community Garden, hiking Mt. Tamalpais, reading and outrigger canoeing. Nancy earned her BA and Masters from San Francisco State University.

Please read our release about her joining APS: Press Release

Teacher Nighat

Nighat has been a part of the school for over 18 years, first as a parent volunteer while her children attended, then as a substitute, and finally as a teacher for the past seven years. Nighat believes that preschool is fundamentally important to build the social skills children need to help them in the future. She appreciates that Albany Preschool is a very close-knit community, creating a unique and wonderful learning environment for the children.

Ebba de la Rosa – School Administrator

Ebba first became involved in Albany Preschool as a parent participator when her twin daughters enrolled. Soon after they started, she joined the Albany Preschool Board as Membership Chair. After graduating from Albany Preschool, it was so hard to say goodbye that she stayed on as participation substitute for another year. In the Fall of 2013 she returned to Albany Preschool as an enrollment administrator. She appreciates that through the school she has gotten to know so many families in the community.
