Irina Chernyakov

Irina is inspired to support our school because she is passionate about helping to create an environment that allows children to grow to their full potential. She came to Namaste as a parent in 2011 and fell in love with our school. She started volunteering in the garden and later in the office and ended up being hired as an administrator. Irina’s responsibilities include enrollment, tuition, payroll, licensing, parent communication and more. She brings her willingness and ability to learn to her role and her consistent drive to deepen her understanding of child development and Montessori Philosophy to our school. Irina enjoys gardening and outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, foraging for mushrooms and outdoor concerts in the summer.
