Director Maureen
Maureen has dedicated twenty years to directing at TCCP and brings over thirty years of experience as an early education educator in Marin preschools. Embracing the collaborative approach of Parent Participation, she values parents as integral educators in their child's journey.
Her vision is cultivating a nurturing environment that fosters lifelong community bonds and encourages respectful interactions. Maureen's mission is to create a space where each child is seen as an individual, empowered to explore their interests, form friendships, and express themselves creatively. Children are encouraged to make choices and engage in uninterrupted play scenarios within a beautifully aesthetic environment.
Maureen lives in Fairfax, CA, where she enjoys hiking, swimming, and biking with her husband. She shares her love of the great outdoors with all the co-op families.

Teacher Anjuli
Anjuli made a shift in her career path from marketing to teaching during the covid pandemic.
Her own children and desire to help her community were the inspiration for her career development. With one of her children attending the co-op, and her blossoming interest in teaching, she was offered a position as a teacher aide the first half of the 2021-2022 school year while working toward her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential.
Anjuli is acquiring her Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education while working at the co-op as the middle group teacher (ages 3-4). During her time at the co-op she became immersed in the community culture, inspired by the play-based approach, energized by the joy of the children, and motivated to contribute to the development of young minds.

Teacher Rica
Rica is a recent graduate from UC Davis with a major in Psychology and a double minor in Human Development and Education.
Rica was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and then moved to Marin County when she was 5 years old and has been here since. She is fluent in Mandarin and is looking forward to incorporating teaching Chinese at TCCP.
She recently joined as a substitute teacher and transitioned into the morning teacher. During her time at the co-op, she has learned the importance of play and helped create activities and establish a routine with the children.
Rica is so excited to be a part of the TCCP community and is looking forward to working closely with the students and supporting the program.
